Comments on: Is Google Dropping Paid Links? http://sitefever.com/search-engine-optimization/137-is-google-dropping-paid-links/ Increase Money Making Business Ranking By Online Internet Marketing Fri, 04 Jul 2008 14:35:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Web Designer http://sitefever.com/search-engine-optimization/137-is-google-dropping-paid-links/#comment-1456 Web Designer Wed, 19 Sep 2007 09:54:32 +0000 http://sitefever.com/search-engine-optimization/137-is-google-dropping-paid-links/#comment-1456 Yes,you are correct , google is certainly dumping paid links but this is not true for all web directories. many great directories are still ranking high in the SERP's. the reason because these directories are dumped because they are simply maid for earning revenue. Let me share with you my experience. i did a paid submission of of one of my site to two different high pagerank directories. one directory was from the list above (i do not want to name) and other was a directory with PR8. i submitted my site to both the directories with the same content and same everything. you know what happened. the first directory from the above list approved my link within 24 hours and the other directory refused my link saying that the site did not have unique content. moral of the post: the directories dumped are just concerned with the subscription money and not with the quality of the link and see the result they are dumped now. Yes,you are correct ,

Their problem is that they don't want people buying top positions in the SERPs. There should never be a way to do that. The big players are then paying others for top spots when they could have been paying Googs. Why does that piss you off?? Excellent post, great for debate.

I do not know what, but they would probably find a way round this. I think this affects those who have concentrated on paying for links more, and it does show that at the end of the day if you want to do well with Google, you should know what it looks for - content.

They have been aggressively penalizing sites and stripping sites of their ability to confer (internal, not Toolbar) PageRank and anchor text for selling links. Is this the beginning of the end of paid links? If there is an end in sight then its beginning more likely came last year. I would say it's too soon to know if the paid link industry is about to collapse under the weight of Google's algorithmic restructuring.
