5. Blog Networks & Poorly
Executed Guest Blogs
With blog networks, each blog hascontent with aconstant
ratio of wordsto links. It postsexternally to arandom
sitesmultipletimes, and with alot of "inorganic" anchor
text for commercially valuableterms.
Most of usseeguest blogging asawhite-hat tactic, but a
backlink profilefilled with low-quality guest postslooks
remarkably similar to theprofileof asiteusing automated
blog networks.
6. Article Marketing Spam
Most articlesaremadefor thesolepurposeof getting a
link, and essentially all followed linksareself-generated
rather than endorsements. Googlehasaccordingly made
articlelinkscount for very little, and hashammered article
sitesfor their low-quality content.
7. Single-Post Blogs
Despitetheir prevalence, thesesitesdon't do much for
rankings. Linkswith no weight comein, and linkswith no
impact go out. They persist becausewith adecent free
template, clientscan beshown alink on apagethat doesn't
lo o k bad. Googledoesn't need to do much to weed these
out, becausethey'realready doing nothing.
8. (Paid) Site-Wide Links
Penguin slammed anumber of siteswith ahigh proportion
of site-wide(footer) linksthat many would not have
considered manipulative.
9. Paid Links in Content
If one buyer that you have no relationship with buys
links recklessly, the scrutiny can trickle down through
the sites they're buying from and eventually back to
you.
11. Low-Quality Press Release
Syndication
Low-quality syndication serviceswill send almost
anything through to any sitethat will takeit. You'll end
up with abunch of links, but not many that get indexed,
and even fewer that get counted.
12. Directories
It appearsthat Googlebegan deindexing low-quality
directories. Theeffect seemssmall so far - perhaps
testifying to their minimal impact on improving rankings
in thefirst place.
13. Social Bookmarking
& Sharing Sites
Linksfrom themajority of social bookmarking sites
carry no value. Pointing adozen of them at apagemight
not even beenough to get thepagecrawled.
14. Forum Spam
Forum spam may never die, though it isalready dead.
Forumsthat can't managethespam quickly turn into a
cesspool of garbled phrasesand anchor text links.
