It has already happened. BU has about 30 remaining sites all PR 0 with hardly any age to them (about 6-7 months). It is a sinking ship if I ever saw one…

The truth is backlinks don’t really count. Sorry if I hurt someone’s feelings BUT
my websites are sitting number one, two or three on page one in google search without doing the so advertised backlinking!

Sure I do get backlinks from here and there but I don’t use all those backlink strategies. Also think about this facet: my website with a zero PR is the first ahead of pr3,4,7 sites with hundreds of thousands of backlinks. Does it make you think?

I hope so.
Another topic: google hates opt in pages and wants pure solid content. Hm. my opt in page site ranks on first page in google for the chosen keyword ( now no 3 but I haven’t done anything to it for a year, it was number one). Not much content and a squeeze page which google is said to hate…

Simple page optimisation will do the wonder.

I hate the thought that before my site even really gets going its getting attacked but I guess the reality is that could be the case…..

Those that can afford Greedy Google get on and the rest doesn’t. If it were truly about only getting top rated quality sites people would not pay for their site to be at the top, who says those that pay are the best, in my experience they are not always. Google might have it’s way, I have had enough of this nonsense. Google has a monopoly and that is wrong. It’s our own fault for giving them that power. Several times now I have built up only for everything to change and lose all my work or for male ware to trash my sites as I don’t have the income to pay for protection. Google is causing corruption and bad practices. Google is a 4 letter word.

Your articles helped me to figure out if I want to allow certain back links on my website or not. I think not. When I say this I mean the back links that I have to approve. I am still fairly new to having a business on the internet and I am still learning so, “when in doubt I think I will leave it out”
at least until I learn more about back links.

Thanks again for the article.

]]> By: Fay https://www.potpiegirl.com/the-sky-is-falling/#comment-15824 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=2612#comment-15824 Google has too much power. If people power can stop the US government making a stupid law then people power can damn well take down Google. I think the mistake is because we feel we have to and because when we start we are told how to please Google that we all pander to Google. Well there are a lot of very smart people out there there must be some people who can depeg Google. Google is successful because it though outside the box, time for us to do the same. Challenge for you PPG!? I wish I was smart enough to do it as the people who do will make a financial killing. I agree with the other comments Google want paid only links. I say freedom of the net. It may be small but I shall be removing Google from as much as possible including using their emails. David and Goliath, small marketers and Google!

]]> By: Discount Rifle Scopes https://www.potpiegirl.com/the-sky-is-falling/#comment-15811 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=2612#comment-15811 Personally i believe the so called gurus of affiliate marketing have a lot to answer for. Most of these networks are promoted to newbie affiliates and the ‘grey hat’ tactics are taught in many courses that are found all over the internet. This just goes to show that slow and steady wins the race and there really are very few substitutes for hard work.

]]> By: Background Check Reviews https://www.potpiegirl.com/the-sky-is-falling/#comment-15806 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=2612#comment-15806 Seo chat board has some really good points. We all know the large corporate websites have full time SEO departments writing content and creating links all day long. If google would have never made this part of their algo then we would not be worrying about links and now one would have created private blog networks.

It’s all a game and Google makes the rules for all of us.

]]> By: seo chat board https://www.potpiegirl.com/the-sky-is-falling/#comment-15785 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=2612#comment-15785 such a load of chode google, how many mainstream websites sell links to companies daily for their little “press releases” that are dofollow links passing PG rank?

every article you see on some mainstream news, or blog promoting the next hyped crap – think there was no money deals there going on?

see this is what happens when you let google control the internet, and they do what they want with their algorythm.

they make it impossible for the people at the bottom, while preserving all their corporate interests already at the top.

]]> By: Steve https://www.potpiegirl.com/the-sky-is-falling/#comment-15772 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=2612#comment-15772 The video by Michael is one of the best explanations I have heard on this current backlink/ De-index issue. I am a small independent web marketeer, and one blessing i might have had was lack of extra money to spend on a pay by the month situation.

I have always wanted to believe that honest hard work and quality content would win out in the end. It is have for a small marketer to not stray to the dark side. When you look at competition in you niche and see other higher ranking site with 300,000 backlinks, you have to think they where bought or farmed out. Its a simple matter of time and effort.

I hope this whole new Panda 3.3 and beyond, will help even the playing field. It’s easy to offer honest quality, it’s expensive to purchase quality.

I agree with your aspects and your way of looking for where your at compared to your competitors (query space’s). I learn something new everyday.

Great article, thank you,
Steve

]]> By: seo chat board https://www.potpiegirl.com/the-sky-is-falling/#comment-15711 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=2612#comment-15711 every website out there that has third party ads being published on them either by google adsense or any others is guilty of selling links – also means advertisers using those services are guilty of buying links – technically speaking. If google tries to insist it is only on paid direct links that gain link juice off of the page, ok so what now – if it were the same links being served through your ADSENSE ADS there would be no issue?

its so stupid honestly because nothing would happen without some paid links – remember advertising costs money?

it’s none of googles business who bought, paid, or sold anything. What happens behind closed doors is none of their business.

do you think that these mainstream companies are putting out these links and advertisements every second of our life without any incentives behind them? GTFO! REALITY CHECK

PLEASE DEINDEX THEM GOOGLE – they are all guilty of selling/buying links for many years in to the tunes of billions of dollars which all ended up right in your hands google – PLEASE DO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT GOOGLE! LOL

]]> By: seo chat board https://www.potpiegirl.com/the-sky-is-falling/#comment-15710 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=2612#comment-15710 I can understand them getting rid of the spammy autoblogged rehashed garbage, but lets not forget their are lots of good blogs out their that sell links.

it seems google thinks it can control the entire web now, and penalize anyone not selling links through THEIR networks!

yes thats right folks, google wants to talk about paid links, or bought and sold links – well, your looking right at the biggest link broker in the history of man – GOOGLE

how is putting adsense ads on your site any different than selling links? Oh its different because your using googles service and their advertisers?

but google loves your website when you wrap it in their ads and give it content don’t they?
not that hard to get pg1 when your site is wrapped in google ads.

there is NO difference between YOU selling links or ads DIRECTLY YOURSELF(NO THIRD PARTY), and what google does with google adsense.

so when can we see DEINDEXING OF ADSENSE ADVERTISERS AND POPULAR WEBSITES WRAPPED IN ADSENSE ADS – BECAUSE THEY ARE SELLING LINKS – LINKS TO WEBSITES THEY DO NOT EVEN KNOW….

WAITING PATIENTLY………………..

Anything that has to do with paying for a link is bad news. Bummer is one of my sites got penalized for having a sidebar link on another one of my other sites. Must have looked like a paid link. Anywho the jig is up so its important to kill off those crummy links if you have any!
