Hi Andy,

Lke everything else, it will be devalued, and long term sites will suffer. The problem is that so many people are algo chasing, they chase whatever promotional method is ‘en vogue’. It used to be submitting to altavista to get freshbot boost. Then it was hidden text, then it was backlinks from anywhere, then it was directories, now it is blogs!

It might take some time, but the pay for post blogs will be found out, and the ones that publish non niche content will be those that will be nailed.

So why is pay per blog proving so successful for many sites? Deep linking from irrelevant blogs seems to be standard practice in many markets.

Its very interesting, too bad but my English is poor, so I can’t read all of them clearly.

I always had this problem with paid link post, Is there any way to make my PR stand still ? after google update ?

Thank you master ..

Thanks for the comments guys! As always with things like this, it is Chinese whispers etc that muddy the waters.

paul, you raise a good point though, you metion the magic word ‘traffic’. For many many years i have said ‘link for traffic, everything else is abonus. Someone pointed out a post i made on highrankings.com in 2003 that said those very words

Thanks OWG. Interesting post and a good explanation of how Google sees the bigger picture. There’s so many traffic-driving schemes these days, it’s tough to know which ones can do more harm long term, than good. Thanks for writing in a way that we all can understand.
