Hi warriors,

Will google punish this?

Set the anchor test color the same as background color, so that, it looks less spammy, if i put 3+ backlinks at profile page.

Thank you

Maybe... but I doubt it. I don't believe profile links are great anyway. You may have 1 out of 10 links indexed. They're easy enough to get, just do it 1 link at a time.

Theoretically, if you're putting 3+ links on a page anyway, regardless of thoughts on profile links, you're losing juice.

Thanks

I wouldn't advocate spending the time to add multiple links to profiles, but technically I think you would be incrementally gaining link juice by adding more links.

PR passed = PR of Page / # of links (nofollow & dofollow) - 10-15% PR decay.

If a greater percentage of links on the page are yours then you will take up more of this. That being said I wouldn't spend the time to do it.

Blending links into the background... Bl@ck H@tish... Very. Google doesn't like hidden text.

But then again Google reads your page w/o style, so it just looks like spammy keyword/link stuffing.

I would suggest NOT, but the odds of Google really penalizing you for that crap is pretty slim. Google can slap anyone at any time for no rhyme or reason.

CHEERS!

Thanks

Google definitely doesn't like that. This is an old trick from the 90's. Google had that sorted a long time ago.

  There is no point..
  
  Google doesnt have eyes...
  they dont care about that
  
  WHAT THEY DO CARE ABOUT IS QUALITY OF LINKS
  
  AND QUALITY OF THE POST
  
  sooo, you should make it keyword relevant and post on blogs that are relevant to your keyword(if possible, but not crucial)
  
  also... dont put in 3... THAT is what makes you look spammy

Black hat strategies should be avoided in my view.

It may result in temporary gain and advances, but you run the risk of getting slapped or shut down.

to be honest they would probably just de-index most of the links, IF you posted enough of them, the 3 in a post is typically an immidiate flag as spam..

because i mean honestly... when have you EVER seen a website that has three links in a post that ALL go to the exact page, and then said, HEY this is a GREAT website... probably never... it probably resulted in your identity being stolen, a trick for your email address(which was then spammed) or a Virus...

so if you have to ask yourself... just dont..

Hi Millerking,

Hidden text is likely to cause your website to score low trust and could result in your entire website being removed from Google's index.

If your site is perceived to contain hidden text and links that are deceptive in intent, your site may be removed from the Google index, and will not appear in search results pages.
