A while back, and I didn’t have much experience, and a lot of killing time, after a little work I gained a top position on my six websites with their keyword phrases. And you know what? Back then it was easy, the main things were your meta tags and finding links, it was actually that easy. The most reciprocal links, and all I had to do to get into the top three of my category was put my keyword phrase in the link text. That was all that was needed, it was so easy!
It had to happen in the end, the SECRET came out and everyone knew how to put their best keywords on their links, and bam, the first page of the SERP's. The link exchange boom was open. Exchange software and software exchanges have emerged as mushrooms after rain.
I needed another edge so I started buying links, especially using site links. I can have my best keyword in ancor text on all major site pages. I will do this with a few websites, and my, I am back to the top. This was great! Think of it, $ 100 every 30 days to get thousands of visitors every single day. Things were going well, I had a lot of traffic and most of the competitors spent a lot of money on Adwords with a small percentage of the traffic I brought.
Once again everyone finally found the power to buy text links, the race was over again. It doesn't take long to get the attention of the SE if everyone is abusing something so powerful, and once the SEs have set their sites on it. it's over. So I look for high-quality sites on terms like shoes, clothes, gifts etc. Link software exchange software appear like mushrooms after rain. OK. now that I'm tired, I have to find one-way links from related content pages and get back in the chair again. But how do I get more people to give me a one-way link from the right content page?
Then hit me, create a triangle of sites linked to each other, A will link to B, B will link to C and C will link to A, this will solve all my problems. How difficult can it be?
I had no idea I was infected!
Talk about nightmares!
After submitting hundreds of requests and finally getting two webmasters to agree with the first issue I encountered that they insisted on posting links to spam link pages that the spider SE could not find. The next big problem was webmasters looking for two of their websites in the triangle, both of which had the same IP #, this was similar to setting up a bright neon sign that read “System Link”. Then there are a few shady operators who were looking for triangular links who wanted a good link for you, but who wanted to link back from the link farm. What a nightmare and then it turned out, for about a month and there was not a single good link. Where is it? And how did I end up getting in this way?
Now apart from the headaches involved in trying to trick search engines strategically with a black seo hat, there is a real risk that your site will be blocked. It took me several years to find, but sometimes it is easy to navigate and flow and give search engines what they want, such as real and relevant content. It may seem like a daunting task, but you can see that it is the only way to become truly successful.
Next week we will explore ways to get quality links one way on your site.
