Behind the Perfect Backlink. What Makes a Link Worth Getting?

You don't have to click anywhere but in the link to read the post... inside WF itself just tryna add some value here

The post is inside warrior forum tho ask away and we can discuss anything!

Thank you so much Gabriel for your words, they mean a lot =)

Hi Gabriel, today is the second time that you and me find each other in the opposite sides of the discussion I am going to tell you why we are questioning Alejandro:

a) I do understand you want to push this new "Learn" section in the warrior forum (an article directory that will increase the WF traffic) and since Alejandro is posting an article there you are trying to encourage him, BUT Who is Alejandro and Why should I listen to him? I saw the only public informiiton I have about him (his public profile) and I see he started his user in the warrior forum this year, he has 5 posts (4 of them in this thread) he gave thanks once and he received 1 Thanks..... that IMMEDIATELY makes me suspicious, and I see he has a signature in his profile Is it possible he is jus posting whatever to make me click on his signature? you need to understand that many of us have done ALL THE TRICKS on the book, have ben banned form several places, we know how the game is played..... so get your conclusions.

b) Before (and I am not going to enter in an old debate about if the old warrior forum was better or not) each sub section had people who earned their respect here it was Mike, Yukon, Paul, and many others, that used to post something, increase their post counts, help people and THEN.... they had the authority to push things, they were able to "earn" that right, if you want people to start spamming every section with cheap post... be my guest (in reality I am your guest lol)... but remember .... you bought a forum with certain culture, that attracted certain people for certain behaviours, distinguishing the behaviours that were toxics from those that made the forum grow it is the real challenge, but spamming seems to be a nasty habit.... and this seem spammy to me, but it is your forum and enforece the rules you want and enforce the behaviour you want.

I "know" Enfusia from other threads, search my thread where I taugh about how to get more than 40k on reddit, so I am in this with him.

Respectfully

Thank you!

Hi Myke, long time no see you, I wanted to mention you as well in my post but I could not remember how your username was written, I think it was more than clear that nobody is attacking Alejandro, you need to get a thik skin to be in the game,, nice to see you aroung.

Hey Mike, I appreciate your comment man. You're right, I'm a newcomer to the forum and well, not knowledgeable of its traditions or history.

Hope to stay around for a while, I see many knowledgeable marketers here that I too can learn from

cheers!

Well Gabriel it seems the post you PM me about, is the same one I made the public comments about, so lets rephrase and give the proper context, I wrote:

"Can we please stop posting this garbage over and over again, use the report button, this is the low quality post we need to ban."

and you answered:

Enlight me how is this a low quality post?

I think I already did in the previous answer, but low story short the post have been evaluated as low quality because the guy is putting a "sneak peak" of the content and they want us to go some where else, that USED to be bad practice in the forum, NOBODY is bashing people, we are bashing the technique he is using, if you want to share something post it here and it will be openly evaluated, don't send me somewhere else.

I stand my ground on my original message, BUT if you tell me that NOW those are the rules, people is allowed to post just a little content with backlinks to their sites or specifically to the "learn section" where (it seems) we can have backlinks (dofollow) to our website, then it is up to me to abide and follow the rules or leave, nothing else.

Once I have attacked the practice it used to be considered SPAM and almost a bannable offense, I will say I don't like the new practice to promote now, because this will bring even more low effort post, BUT I am just a guest here.

Now EVEN if Alejandro would have posted the content of his article here, I would have considered low quality and I would have recommended for him to use Google to find a better response within the Forum (the main idea is to bring topics to debate and new points of view, new techniques, new processes, when I still see post talking about PR and several answers with no control I get sad), there used to be an entire sticky post about onsite, and offsite best practices and those questions/informations were out of the table when starting a thread, what interesting or new information he is bringing into the table? or just because he is adding images that is quality? he talks that nothing beats an editorial backlink, really? somebody should tell that to the adult tubes that have thousands of backlinks from footers, (search those terms to see the discussions we had with Yukon about it), he talks about the "Authority of the site" but NEVER defines such authority, so if I crawl several pages and I found 2 domains that used to be from political parties that do not exist anymore BUT have several backlinks, just because nobody remembers them does that mean they have no authority? (search the discussions between the two Mikes about how to define the authority on the sites), I work on the adult industry so I know truth from fiction, the article is not bad, but low for the quality standards I like to see in the forum, BUT if those are the new rules, you will see me very soon increasing my posting count .

TLDR: To me this is still low quality content, I don't agree with, I report it, BUT this seems to be the new way to work around here.

KD is bollocks. No one knows how many backlinks you need unless you manually export all the links pointing to the top 3 (and even then there are links you won't see) and make an agreggate of the amount of links and their anchor profile.

Mr Diggity has a complete post about that "how you should choose your anchor text starting now" good read, google it.

"to put it simple..."

I cover canonicals on the off-page SEO guide I reference. I didn't thought worth going into the level of detail you did (although I thank you for doing it here ) since a canonical isn't the type of link we were really talking about here.
