You would almost start to think that NBCnews.com sells links:

hxxp://www.nbcnews.com/health/computer-use-exercise-may-help-fight-memory-loss-746293

Check out the links on the bottom of the first article, 3rd link links out to Top Ten Reviews, with obvious anchor text.

Probably

hxxp://www.myhealthnewsdaily.com/ is to blame but then still, you would think the editors would cut it out as it's not really a site that encourages excersises but an obvious affiliate review site.

Nice deal they made.

And here it continue's:

Yahoo!

And it go's on and on, just link buying on a higher level.

I should contact Rachael once I have an authority styled review site to get me some of those links.

Ps: I have obvious nothing against link buying / selling but I always had some sort of respect for toptenreviews in how they managed to achieve so many links that turned their site into a PR7. Money makes the world go round

    Perhaps follow the links posted.

    Nice mashed up/spun content on your site btw:

    "According to Bernard sweet potatoes or sweet vegetables are also healthy junk during one of the case"

    "I thing you happy now....", I thing you too!

      He might be using mashed up/spun content, but the quality is still as good as the "writers" you pay.

      Not sure who should be making fun of who here... :confused:

    They are everywhere it seems like. They cover so many niches, and actually are a pretty good resource for a quick overview of a variety of different products.

    And this stuff has been happening forever and will happen as long as links are the primary ranking mechanism.

    No need to out websites though, there's already enough of that as is.

    I find it hard to believe those are anything but paid insertions. I am so tired of ignoring crapola like "New Rule has drivers furious and shocked"
    Ads that almost look like content, but if you look close enough you see "sponsored content by taboola"

    Rap Genius didn't suffer much from their so-called link buying penalty. They're a pretty cool resource, though.

    Of course there are different rules for everyone. This comes as no surprise.
