What Do You Think Is The Best Backlink Service On The Warrior Forum?

Stop using any backlink schemes for right now and wait and see how this new Google update pans out!

I have been very happy with Matt LaClear's service but I think his service may have been targeted by Google and my main money site that was on page 1 due to his great SEO Services has now been banished - for ALL Keywords - to the far back pages of Google.

I went from page 1 to page 33 overnight and I am about 99.9% certain this was due to Matt's sites being punished, thus mine losing all it's link juice. But it's more than that. I was not that far back BEFORE using Matt's services so now I am 5 TIMES FURTHER BACK than I was, so I think Google specifically gave MY site the boot as well simply for using Matt's services. I can't prove it but why else would I have been kicked SO far back?

So I would not use ANY backlinking services until this new update gets sorted out. Most experts are saying to not DO anything right now, just wait and see what happens. Frankly I think Google made a huge error because this update - while it's stated purpose was to get rid of spammy sites - has actually caused spammy sites to rise to page one in replacing sites like mine that is a great site (not just me saying so, I've had confirmation from long time IMers on this) full of content got totally slapped down and I was making $1000/month with one site and now I expect to make close to 0 this month because I'm getting no traffic now. When you're on page 33 for your main keyword there isn't much hope.

My only hope is that Google sees the error of its ways and kills the Penguin!

So keep an eye on Matt's WSO's and maybe - I say maybe - use them in the future but right now the big G is probably keeping an eye on his sites or at the very least it is clear they have de-valued many of his link farms or blog networks or whatever you want to call the places he builds links for you.

I certainly will consider using his services again but maybe not for my money site, rather only for sites pointing back to my money site.

Meanwhile try other ways of marketing: Facebook, Twitter, list-building, Pinterest, Google+, etc.

I would say "Always experiment with link building services with non-money sites first, then if they work, maybe build links to sites that point to your money site but it's too risky I think to rely on link building to push your site to #1."
IMHO.

Sorry about that Arran.
Here is my little opinion about building back links and this has always worked.

If you have been doing SEO long enough then you should that its not wise to utilize 100% service of a company.

Everyone have their link building strategy, tools e.t.c
Making use of different companies will help you avoid heavy penalty/update from Google because you site does not 100% rely on the companies service.

I build back links myself and offer a few of them but still buy and also hire VAs outside mine to work for me.

Damn, is this a love and hate MattLaClear thread? LOL

I get clients who used Matts service before and told me it didn't rank them, I also have clients that I builded links for and that I checked the SERPS later and was like, damn, not much happened.

Thing is with seo and websites that you never know the history of a site and even with the history it can go wrong sometimes. I also used blog networks before (glad I abandoned them though) that had a negative effect on clients sites after the deindexing that took place. And now with the penguin update there are not many links left that are 100% safe.

Ofcourse there will always be seo providers who claim this is bull**** but first they forget that they work with budgets of $1000+/month and we work with $100 budgets. Secondly, rented homepage links can also HURT a website and I see many professional SEO companies (who charge big bucks) making use of that.

Right now after the Penguin update I am pretty satisfied with the services I offer and none of the links in my packages will hurt a site simply cause I have packages with tiered web2.0's, packages with a lot of diversity and small amount of links, and homepage links that are RELEVANT to your niche. That's a whole world of difference then homepage links at just some random site that has nothing to do with your topic.

Are you freaking kidding me??? You have 1000+ posts and 150+ thank you's and a member since 2008 and still NO CLUE about SEO / Linkbuilding at all and what kind of links get you penalized and which not. You embarrass the whole forum by suggesting that upper link. To quote some of their Platinum package (platinum LMAO)

• 300 article directory links
• 438 web 2.0 web profiles links
• 19 press release links
• 100 social network articles
• 200 social bookmarking links
• 850 forum profile links (Paul/Angela style)
• 150 RSS feeds

Very hip to penguin to mass spam article directories (that penalize sites since 2010) / forum profile links (that don't work since 2008) and the most crappy bookmark sites that give ZERO value.

You should be ashamed of yourself by promoting this garbage type of services.

Cause I'm getting a little tired of summing up the same list that I already did to dozens of threads.

And instead of acting like a wise guy you can also start reading more then 1 thread to make an educated comment instead of believing the first person that you see posting here.

No wonder why 99% of the people fail in internet marketing. They just don't have the capability to think for theirselves.

He did offer something of value. He basically let you know to avoid crap link pkgs that include garbage profiles links, spam directories and bookmarks. Seems you are easily "offended" when put in your place. It was you who jumped in and called him a douchebag.

TRYING TO HELP? To get sites penalized yeah!

And the question that you asked was the most <fill in yourself> question that I ever read on this forum.

Marc L stated: " It has great backlinks for sure but it also had zero negative on page factors. No forms, no affiliate links (unmasked) no keyword in meta descriptions, no meta keywords."

Maybe I'm not as smart as you but to me that implies having a keyword in the meta description is a negative seo factor, after all its stated in his list of negative factors.

I asked what I thought was a reasonable question, since having your keyword in the meta description is recommended in nearly every seo article I've ever read, plus its included as a recommendation in every wordpress seo plugin I've ran across.

So maybe for you, the answer to my question is common knowledge, but for me its not. I'm here as a newbie trying to learn from others, ask questions, and help if I actually know the answer to something (which I usually don't-hence newbie).

You on the other hand, at least in this thread, have offered nothing but a berating to those that don't think about seo like you, and haven't read all your other posts (in other threads) where you supposedly have already answered the topic of this thread.

I'm done here.
