The Future of Back-Linking
- SEO |
I am relatively new to IM and have only really known about SEO back-linking per-se for about a month or two now.
I am curious as to what people think might happen to back-linking in the future.
From my perspective, posting back-links yourself to promote your own site seems to be something Google would
try to stop happening if they ultimately could. (I'm talking about mass back-linking on forum profiles, etc. not the super white-hat BL methods)
The whole point of Google ranking pages by back-links is to help gauge popularity, and therefore quality. I'm sure there's way more too it, I'm just trying to simplify here.
If this is so, won't it be a matter of time before Google finds a way to stop self-promotion of websites completely and rely purely on end-user-data from peoples individual I.P addresses or something?
I'm not by any means doubting back-linkings effectiveness and am going to be using back-linking myself extensively very shortly. I'm just curious as to peoples thoughts on the future of it.
I did a quick search on this and nothing came up, so if this has already been covered here I apologize.
Thanks,
-Mike
