Proof that profile links works for SERP

11 years ago

The only thing that this case study has provided is, the discovery of one of the least searched and least competitive longtail "backlinks" keywords on the planet.

The case study also proves that you have absolutely no clue about SEO or basic keyword research.

And you sell SEO services? WOW Why am I not suprised.

Heres the real search data for you.
Local(US)

FYI Real SEO companies use the exact keyword match function. Check it out, you'll love it.

So whats that your selling?

Yeah - once I saw no brackets around the keyword it was obvious he was using broad search. Still this proves exactly what profile backlinks are good for

Ranking for terms almost no one searches for

i can do a test for a medium competitive keyword as well..
the site i;m testing has a total of 23 links , only 5 are indexed, it's true that the keyword is very low competitive but , hey are just few backlinks, also the content on my site is very poor, it's just for testing.. i will keep testing for medium and high competitive keywords, no worry about this

i want to prove that the profile links are working for serp, and the results are quickly visible for a low competitive keyword, btw if you want we can test together for a low competitive keyword , just send me one new site with 0 backlinks and a low competitive keyword..

i agree, but don;t get me wrong.. im saying that the profile links are still working , on a low or medium scale... are not 0 for serp.. ofcourse SEO is more complex and this is a small piece, other things could be more effective than this, the idea of this post was for testing not for conflicts with other members..

Let's be honest here. The idea of your post was to promote the profile links you are selling in your signature.

I could not have said it better than GOY. Profile links are really the armpit of SEO. It's a dirty little niche where sellers advertise complete garbage like "High PR backlinks" or "PR 8 and PR 9 authority links" for sale. In reality, they are nothing but PR n/a and PR 0 links.

Most people feel that profile links were largely responsible for the original batch of "unnatural link warning" messages that Google sent out in 2011.

Will profile links rank a webpage for a keyword that NOBODY is searching for and/or cares about? Yeah, probably. Will it stay there? Probably not. Will they rank a page for anything the least bit competitive? Nope.

You do not even have to do a case study and waste your time trying to prove otherwise. Just show me a webpage that is ranking right now based on nothing but profile links for a phrase that is at least slightly competitive.

Thats a 3 year old thread. However most everyone experienced has moved on because it DID keep declining in power until many of the people ripping me to shreds back then no longer are into it themsleves.

I am not going to waste my time creating a site for you. I am already well aware of how crappy these kind of backlinks are.

If you want to put up the site, be my guest. Rank a website in the top 3 for "auto insurance California" with nothing but profile backlinks.

Good luck.

Keep in mind Google works in cycles.

Not saying these backlinks got to work again, but... most people just grab everything Google pisses at and puts them in trash can - when in fact, most strategies get back to work somewhere in time, with a different % of interest to their algo, and some other peculiar stuff you discover while testing weird sheeet.

Wow, why would you want to prove anyone wrong? If you are convince that profile links can rank a website then keep it to yourself and use it to make money.

At the end of the day making money online is what counts, respect and acknowledgement can't be spent...

Any method that becomes too popular here, will shortly attract a penalty sooner or later.

Find something that works and keep your mouth close.

Tim that theory that you should have all kinds of different links for diversity is an absolute myth. No site needs profile backlinks to rank and thousands of serps prove that many ranking sites never get them. I don't even know how people let link sellers convince them of stuff like that. Can you imagine a Google programmer telling the web spam team

"Okay we know you don't like spammy links but we have written an algo change that gives sites with a wide range of spammy links a boost and we hope you are on board"

Everyone is expecting me to tell you private SEO networks and thats that. They do work but a few other things work for the same reasons. Google has a lot of factors we know little about but we do know of two

Authority and relevance

Any link that has some authority will help. Unfortunately the only real metric Google has given us is PR and the most trusted sites still have PR 8+. So guest blogging works on pages that have PR or navigational links from pages that do, asking for links works, link bait works and because you can squeeze out some authority from thousands of low quality links yes tiered link building can work with your last tier before linking to your money site being something reasonable with the ability to link within the context of some relevant content. tumblr, Wordpress, blogger or even better your own domain. Thatworks for now but given how wildly popular it is and how many spam tools are being promoted to do tiered link building I expect Google to go after it big next. Its not that hard for them to spot pages with a ton load of spammy links to them regardless of where they are in relation to a money site. The data is sitting right there in their computers.

Anyway I think you are open to learning and thats a good thing. You just came a little late to the profile link thing so you are taking some heat because sometimes people who know better push things just to fool people. I don't sense that from you.

BTW Mike F is right in things he said but just as an off topic tip for the future - Don't remove your sig because people complain about it. Offer some better things yes but its a marketing board and you are allowed your sig within the rules. Not referring to Mike or anyone in this thread but some times kiddies will complain when you are trying to make money on a marketing board which I think is ridiculous.

A range of diverse backlinks as in, not all one type of backlink, sure, or as in some social signals, maybe.. but a bunch of profile links? I wouldn't even want that as part of my backlink portfolio much less think it would help in some way. At best they would be discounted, and at worst I would be given a penalty, and for what risk, to move 1/10000 of a percent up in the serps? No thanks :rolleyes:

Your new to SEO
Your learning new things all the time
Your reading a lot of misinformation about SEO
Your repeating some of that info trying to add value to WF
You made an attempt at making a thread and failed

Everyone starting out makes the very same mistakes. So there's no shame in it, so long as you are learning from it.

that's not a thread about who 's new or old to seo or who knows more..
i just want to know if this kind of links are still good for linkbuilding, do they works in a way ? are the profile links from authority sites more effective than those from spammy sites/forums? im selling profile links and social bookmarking links, but this is not my only seo activity.. not at all.. i will stop selling/using this kind of links once i will find that are worthless..

i know the level of competition for this keyword is ridiculous so i will choose another site for testing with a medium competitive keyword...

It is about new and old to SEO. Your original post portrays you as someone who is providing SEO products, with no real basic concepts of SEO.

Case studies on unsearched keywords
Using broadmatch search
Promoting forum profile links as a working concept
Selling the same types of links in your signature
Defending your position even though all replies have been negative

But even after all the replies to your post telling you, your ideas are complete nonsense, your basic research is flawed, and your idea of authority links are misinformed.
You still try to defend it.

Just stop the BS and move on...

Yeah but that's way after you see:

20 PR9 Backlinks from 20 unique high authority domains

For 5 dollars you will get: 20 x PR9 BACKLlNKS from 20 varied high authority websites , so that the link of your site will show up on the most trustworthy and greatest ranked sites on the internet (apple , microsoft , etc). This is an importand step to help you improve your site position in Google search engine. "

By then anyone with an ounce of common sense has already closed the page and moved on.

No need to. You don't have anything to prove to anyone. And I take it you want to offer an SEO service here in the future no? If so then I don't think you want this thread to keep popping up. Props for testing things on your own to see how and why they work. Best of luck to ya.
