Ryan, I am 100% agreed with you, man if I look into competitor's links they are all or full of manipulated links. they are still there. I don't know why

I am agreed with you on the ".to create amazing content which others find useful / helpful / amazing then let the world know about it. If you wish to build more links, then embed yourself as a member of the community related to the site's niche and sparingly mention the site."and this is the best long term planning for a site.

Hi Ryan,

Great words. I am following the thread throughout. I need a help from your last post;

"If you use a URL link then the concept of exact match anchor text does not apply"

please correct me if I am wrong in understanding, this line means that if the anchor text is a URL then there is no issue of exact matching anchor text. Am I right?

What do you suggest that what ratios are Green, Yellow and Red signals for the exact match anchor texts in the back-links?

I am unable to find what back-link types are remaining after Penguin to be used? Do you think that if all the back link types like;

1- Forum Profile

2- Forum Posts

3- blog comments

4- Articles links

5- Author Bio

6- Directory Submission

are used in safe ratio of keyword mix, PR evaluated, Google Indexed sites then the site can gain a good ranking. what other back link types do you suggest and why?

I found three kind of links in the back link of my client site and mentioned them as paid links.

1-Link List

2-Advertisement

3-side bar

Am I right in my idea? what other links do you suggest are kind of paid links?
