backlinking related questions
- SEO |
1) has anyone ranked a webpage using only blog comments and forum profiles (the usual backlinks that SEOs call "garbage links" and which everyone is afraid to point directly at their website) by pointing them directly at their website?
Could it be that all the backlinks coming from blog comments and forum profiles are deemed as spam only because they're easy to get/automate? Is there any proof that pointing only this type of backlinks to a new website will "kill" the website? I guess I could run this test myself but since I don't have the resources or the will to do it, I am asking around instead , hoping that others have tested this post-penguin
Cause if these backlinks are truly seen as spam, then I suppose that all the websites (blogs and forums) that (willingly or not) provide these backlinks could be seen as spam sites, too. And not rank anywhere in big G for any term, just because of this reason alone...
2) has anyone (preferably users with real, aged accounts on high authority websites - PR5+, like stumbleupon, reddit, digg, etc. - that they use daily) willingly and knowingly bookmarked pages with spun, non-readable content and had their accounts terminated for this reason?
Does anyone on these giant bookmarkers actually keep track on what users with authority (aged, and with PR) accounts use their accounts for?
I don't know if this question is relevant or not to anything, but I felt like asking it anyway
3) what types of backlinks do you people point directly to your websites and which types you purposely avoid using and why?
4) does anyone have proof that blog comments and forum profiles (used so much on fiverr for backlink pyramids) hurt a website?
How does google determine that a PR4 forum profile is spam and a PR N/A squidoo lens for example is legit? Does this only have to do with domain authority? And if this is true, how come then, there really are forums with PR5+ and yet, the backlinks coming from them (through forum profiles) are considered spam links? What happens to the domain's authority in this case?
I might have more questions than these, but right now my head is spinning from all the info I'm reading in the WF. Everyone has their own opinion of what a good link and what a bad link is. I don't know what to believe anymore and which SEO service to go with...
Do I really need all those backlinks on high PR pages, all those expensive DMOZ yahoo, and business.com directory submissions, hundreds and hundreds of blog and web2.0 accounts, all those 500-1000 drip fed social bookmarks using aged accounts, and etc etc in order to rank a small, 5 page website at number 1 in google, for some lousy 3 keyword phrases, each with a measly 500 exact match, monthly searches volume? Or a simple link pyramid comprised of blog comments and forum profiles will do it? Questions, questions, questions ....
Anyway, I'll end this here cause my head is spinning hard from so much SEO stuff.
I just hope to find some simple and honest answers from people who tested all these things in the Penguin era
Cheers!
