Webpromotions: Backlinks and Spam
That’s in a way a really hot topic. I think most people doing SEO know, that backlinks are extremely important for a good ranking in Google. But what is a honest backlink and when it is spam?
General we can say, as soon as it it is a for the website owner unwished link, it could be spam. But not yet really. because as long as it is on topic and as long as it also gives information, it is a high value backlink and not (yet) spam.
But to take a very extreme example: promoting a porn site on a blog about pets for sure is spam. But same promoting a pets’s blog on a porn site is spam. But there’s a difference: while everybody knows porn site spam, I have honestly to say, I never have seen a pet site as spam links.
And that’s, why we have to learn to see this more different (then all of us actually do). This is the fault of all those hard core spammers. The point is, once you go to a well known SEO forum and if you gonna post a very well doing technique for very good SEO, it will take a few weeks and then it won’t work anymore. Why? because some people never know, when they should stop and they will overdo it 100 percent sure.
If I would write on such a forum “”forward one website per day through this technique” many people never will stop and starting forwarding thousands of sites a day.
And this is also the reason, why we see for example porn, gambling or viagra related links as spam. The really bad thing is: it is not always spam. Because there are also very informative and searched and very well visited sites regarding to this topics, as there are – as for any topic – also for these ones are people, that are seriously interested to get more informations.
But if you’re doing SEO in such topics, you know for sure how hard it is. Even when you are very honest and even when you never spam. So we all together must work better against all this spammers.
