This is why spammers suck

Here is a perfect example of someone who is not paying attention, I have a feeling this person hangs on this board, you'll know why if you follow the camera link. Not only do they spam but they don't pay attention to detail. The reason I say this is they didn't check for the number of advertisers. ONly 3 for this keyword. Anyway if you're going to spam at least have some respect.

      I don't understand why people throw up 20 links on one page. What a waste! Every link you add divides the amount of link juice that is available on that page, dilluding the amount of authority that the site you are promoting with the link gets!

      I only put a max of two links on any page when link building. Aside from flying below the radar it means that each link is worth more. If you need to promote a lot of sites, you need to create different accounts and spread it out.

      Another problem is co-citation. When you put multiple outbound links on a page all to untrusted sites, it casts a shadow on all the link on that page. If I ever DO put a third link on a page I point it at an authority site in the same niche (one that is not in the top 10 for the particular search term I'm targeting...don't want to juice up my competition after all). This way co-citation works in my favor.

      I guess people don't DO things the wrong way link this because they are lazy...but then they get frustrated when they don't get the results they want.

      Commenting in forums is always risky.

      Even if you write a great comment, the links in the sig file are a dead giveaway.

      When looking for forums to get backlinks from, check if the profile is publicly viewable or not (often the webmaster will disable it) so that you don't have to comment and have a better chance of staying under the proverbial radar.

        Exactly. I've had sites think I was spamming just because I posted my Angela page, which up to a few months ago, had absolutely NOTHING for sale. (Now it has a small reference to backlinks, buried in a whole page full of fun, free stuff.) Some websites look at any and all links as "spam" and will remove them. Putting links in a comment is risky, just as you've pointed out, Terry. The only way to make comments with links and not stir feathers is if you make a blog comment and place the link exactly as the blog allows: anchored to your name, only. That isn't very helpful for ranking for a particular keyword.
