Back Links and Back Link Services

Now lets get down to the meat

This has nothing to do with Google. this is about the material you accept on your network and the impossibility of continuing to be an authority site (provided you have any in your network) if you do. Its a quality issue. Who continues to link to garbage duplicate and PLR pages?

Only people using backlink lists. Get the irony?

You can't maintain getting links from outside your network naturally because webmasters don't link very often to garbage content. On the Google side duplicate content is the least of your worries. Your entire network is soliciting paid links and you have the nerve to claim it is compliant with Google's rules? Further with the way you have set this up with duplicate and PLR content spun across several sites and putting your customers links across it you have left a MASSIVE footprint so that once Google identifies one of your sites as a link farm it can track down ALL of them.

Don't complain you asked for these answers in your OP as to why people would prefer lists with multiple owners.

There is NO jealousy. I could use your service for some of my SEO customers IF I thought it wa better than what I do (hint - backlink lists are not all I do). Sorry, but you opened this conversation by asking why people would use a list over your service and I am telling you why. Its entirely called for because you ASKED for it.

Anything that sells for $12 and promises thousands of backlinks with PLR and spun content will sell like gangbusters on Warriors regardless if its any good or not.

However at the end of the day the reason I would never put any of my SEO customers on your network is the same reason you claim not to like lists - its garbage. My SEO customers don't need links on a paid link farm system where the content guarantees the authority of the site will trend toward low PR. Worse they don't need to be on sites where over time it becomes obvious that they are paid link farm like sites TO GOOGLE and Google discounts then entirely by de indexing the whole site and probably network

well..... Nah ... too easy.

Let summarize and answer your question. People will use backlink sites because

A) Many are on high authority sites that will only increase in authority because solid content is posted to them outside of link building activity.
B) Most are sites where the average non IM Internet user finds the content useful and so continues to give natural links.
C) backlink lists by definition rely on several companies and owners not one person who at some point may vanish from the scene all backlinks with them
D) Most backlink list sites will not be identified as paid link farms because they actually aren't.
E) They prefer sites that are not in danger of being de indexed

Do backlinklists have a lot of negatives as well? Yes. Some links will disappear but theres a downside to everything as i've demonstrated with your allegedly perfect network.
