The death of Backlinking services ?

I think the days of hiring back linking services to send out hundreds if not thousands of automated links in the form of blog commenting, forum commenting, tweeting commenting signatures, etc..etc..is on a complete downward spiral.

Google has made it extremely clear they will ruthlessly pound you butt for doing this.

Yeah, I am guilty as much as anyone as I got caught up in the frenzy 3 or 4 years ago. I hired numerous of these type services to get as many links to my blogs as possible with all these automated spam commenting at forums and blogs.

I thought this was a 'short cut' to get higher in the rankings and more traffic to my sites and ultimately more income.

Do not get me wrong I think there is some validity in outsourcing good writers to make some well thought out comments on Educ. or Gov. sites and other high quality ones. It will cost you though.

But frankly, it is amazing to me that some of these seemingly well respected Warrios are still peddling their spam back linking junk in WSOs.

And the newbies as well as experienced IMers are still taking the bait.

Folks, Google has put the hammer down and has made it clear that it will wave its wand of destruction to those who take this seemingly easy way to get to the top.

It is plainly not working anymore.On the contrary it is hurting people !

And much like myself many our getting major penalties for using these junk services.

As Paul Meyers might say Stick with old school. Great content and offering great tools many which are free to his readers.

And also maybe adding some articles writing at EZA and Goarticles to get some
direct traffic as well google juice does not hurt. Building a Syndication can be quite effective in this regard too.

I have had success with interlinking between similar themed blogs that I own !

Finally, Guest blogging in quality and high authority sites is an awesome way to build your online business. Probably one of the best right now . it cannot be ignored and it will alone get you some really quality traffic and google juice; probably more than any other forms of manuel linking to your sites and it can be considered one of the best. Just ask the folks at highly acclaimed copyblogger !.

All this is pretty much what I am doing and it is paying off. Pretty simple but effective.

Google says no shortcuts so I think it might be wise to ignore some of these WSOs that people still promote with this automated back linking crap !

To you newbies take heed from what I did when I was one myself. 'There aint no thing as free lunch' !
