Why Link Spamming Website Coming on First Page Google?
-
As we all already know about link spamming. As per Google Guidelines Link building, Exact Keywords Anchor Link Building is dead now but i am looking most of the website coming on first page in Google doing same exact keywords linking.
I think directory, article, social bookmarking, press release and other link building activity is also dead now.
Matt always saying content is more important but if we will not put any keywords link in content part then how website rank in first page in Google.
Can anybody explain why is website coming on first page because when i am doing same activity for quality links with higher domain authority website then we are affected in Google update.
-
Yes mate i have already checked most of the profile found paid or something link other there are no option to create our profile link.
Only very less website where we can follow us.
-
A mixture of both, i suggest you take a look at your competitors and see what kind of link profiles they have it can be very helpful for working out a good measure.
-
Can you give me 2-3 website example for broad link profile and community website.
We should target no follow website or target only do follow.
-
A broad link profile is great, do some community out reach for design places. A press release can be a good way to let people know you exists (though they will be no follow) optimize your site with meta tags etc.
There are some excellent resources here - http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo
(try chapter 7 )
-
Yes but we should create more link portfolio not only directory.
Can you share us which activity can we do for onpage/offpage now a days will be great for us.
-
A few directories in a larger link profile isn't bad per sei but I wouldn't recommend having most of your link portfolio made up of directories & articles.

Hi,
You can and high authority sites do tend to work better but again they need to be relevant, relevancy is the key here if your site is about e.g gardening there is no point in having links from car sites or politic sites etc.
Guest blogging is a bit of a no no now - http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/guest-blogging/ as is comment spam in blogs of course you can still do some gust blogging for high authority niche sites that are relevant but just not spam across the board blogging.
If you're going to create a blog rather than have 20-30 with thin content I'd work on 1 with really great content that's going to help users make them want to read it and share it.
I recommend you read the guide I posted previously.

Hi Chris Painter,
Thanks for sharing!
I want to know, Can we do directory, article etc.for only high domain authority website for targeting only long tail keywords?
And should we put link on blog website?
Should be create blog on separate 20- 30 website or need to create only one or two then only update content.

Hiya,
I recommend you take a look at -http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo
Directory, articles social book marking is no longer a good method for link building and if end up with you getting a penalty. It's always good to focus on long tail keywords but that doesn't mean you want any link profile of you have to look over optimized you want it to look natural and naturally most links will be a direct link.
You can put a link where ever you want but be careful as it will look unnatural and get you penalized. You can create blogs that relate to your niche or find a community in the same niche and connect see if there is a link opportunity etc.
Try to work out where a user would find a link to your website helpful e.g if your site is about gardening a gardening blog or forum may be a good start. Directories can be alright but again as long as its in the niche and not spammy.
good luck!

I have analysis more website, they are on first page around 3-4 year not for only short period.
For. Ex. zoomremovals.com.au, mainstreethost.com etc.
As per you can we do directory, article, social bookmarking and other off page activity?
We should link exact keywords or long tail which is good one as per you.
Can we put link any blog, article and other content marketing?
-
Not completely sure I get the question but if a competitor is one first page for black hat site don't worry they may be up there for now but longer term they won't stay up there. You will find that sites like that come and go but never stay long, keep creating good content and working on great link methods that in in Googles guidelines and over time you will stay at the top compared to being there for a week or two.

A Sitemap Web page & A Sitemap in htaccess - will a website be penalised for having both?
Hi I have a sitemap url already generated by SEO Yoast in the htaccess file, and I have submitted that to the search engines. I'd already created a sitemap web page on the website, also as a helpful aid for users to see a list of all page urls. Is this a problem and could this scenario create duplicate issues or any problems with search engines? Thanks.

Massive Google Search Spam
We have come to know that one of competitors of our client is spamming Google search results on massive scale. If we search with keywords like "iphone spy apps" , "text messages spy " etc then most of results from 3rd or 4th page onwards show totally irrelevant sites but when we click on those results/pages then all redirect to either http://topspysoft.com/ OR http://www.mspy.com/ . They have been doing it on massive scale for last few months against hundreds of queries and populating hundreds of search results. If use some country specific Google site then again hundreds of results come from totally irrelevant country specific domains (au,nz,uk etc) and they all redirect to topspysoft.com or mspy.com. Can you please tell how they are doing it and how they are able to do it on such a massive scale without getting noticed by Google ? Is there any way to report this issue to Google as the current only allows one link ? Following are some of the spam urls to give you an idea www.crcincva.com/doc/20-best-iphone-spy-apps/

Internal Links to Ecommerce Category Pages
Hello, I read a while back, and I can't find it now, that you want to add internal links to your main category pages. Does that still apply? If so, for a small site (100 products) what is recommended? Thanks

Does Google crawl and index dynamic pages?
I've linked a category page(static) to my homepage and linked a product page (dynamic page) to the category page. I tried to crawl my website using my homepage URL with the help of Screamingfrog while using Google Bot 2.1 as the user agent. Based on the results, it can crawl the product page which is a dynamic. Here's a sample product page which is a dynamic page(we're using product IDs instead of keyword-rich URLs for consistency):http://domain.com/AB1234567 Here's a sample category page: http://domain.com/city/area Here's my full question, does the spider result (from Screamingfrog) means Google will properly crawl and index the property pages though they are dynamic?

Massive site-wide internal footer links to doorway pages: how bad is this?
My company has stuffed several hundred links into the footer of every page. Well, technically not the footer, as they're right at the end of the body tag, but basically the same thing. They are formatted as follows: [" href="http://example.com/springfield_oh_real_estate.htm">" target="_blank">http://example.com/springfield_pa_real_estate.htm">](</span><a class= "http://example.com/springfield_oh_real_estate.htm")springfield, pa real estate These direct to individual pages that contain the same few images and variations the following text that just replace the town and state: _Springfield, PA Real Estate - Springfield County [images] This page features links to help you Find Listings and Homes for sale in the Springfield area MLS, Springfield Real Estate Agents, and Springfield home values. Our free real estate services feature all Springfield and Springfield suburban areas. We also have information on Springfield home selling, Springfield home buying, financing and mortgages, insurance and other realty services for anyone looking to sell a home or buy a home in Springfield. And if you are relocating to Springfield or want Springfield relocation information we can help with our Relocation Network._ The bolded text links to our internal site pages for buying, selling, relocation, etc. Like I said, this is repeated several hundred times, on every single page on our site. In our XML sitemap file, there are links to: http://www.example.com/Real_Estate/City/Springfield/

http://www.example.com/Real_Estate/City/Springfield/Homes/
http://www.example.com/Real_Estate/City/Springfield/Townhomes/ That direct to separate pages with a Google map result for properties for sale in Springfield. It's accompanied by the a boilerplate version of this: _Find Springfield Pennsylvania Real Estate for sale on www.example.com - your complete source for all Springfield Pennsylvania real estate. Using www.example.com, you can search the entire local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for up to date Springfield Pennsylvania real estate for sale that may not be available elsewhere. This includes every Springfield Pennsylvania property that's currently for sale and listed on our local MLS. Example Company is a fully licensed Springfield Pennsylvania real estate provider._ Google Webmaster Tools is reporting that some of these pages have over 30,000 internal links on our site. However, GWT isn't reporting any manual actions that need to be addressed. How blatantly abusive and spammy is this? At best, Google doesn't care a spit about it , but worst case is this is actively harming our SERP rankings. What's the best way to go about dealing with this? The site did have Analytics running, but the company lost the account information years ago, otherwise I'd check the numbers to see if we were ever hit by Panda/Penguin. I just got a new Analytics account implemented 2 weeks ago. Of course it's still using deprecated object values so I don't even know how accurate it is. Thanks everyone! qrPftlf.png0 -
Are these links bad for my results?
In the past we have requested links on multiple directories. Since we have seen a mayor drop (60% in traffic) in results around the pinquin update 24-26th of April. Our results have been slowly getting lower and lower in Google. Is it possible to tell if these links are in fact doing my site harm? Before the 26th of April it was easy to see that the results where benefiting from the submission to those directories. We did not have any messages in webmaster tools and reconsideration says "no manual spam action taken". What would be the best strategy to turn this around and go up again? A selection of the requested links can be found below. <colgroup><col width="266"></colgroup>
