New Paid Links Service Sparks More Debate

And the Gloves Come Off...

52 Comments

Links

Seems to me almost everywhere you go to have your link added is either a "paid" link or they want to "exchange" links. Both are violations. Who is going to add your link and give away PR for nothing in exchange?

thanks for post

thanks for post

Page Jump

I loved the articles and the posts the only annoying thing is the way you have that darn script make the page jump after it downloads so you can get your pageview. Could you just earn your pageview without the tricks?

Google adwords

I still don’t understand why they have such a problem with it other than there not making money off of it them self’s. I know they want to return good results and that’s a good thing but as long as the paid link returns relative results I think its fine.

pay or not pay, this is a question

What about Google AdWords=also a paid link? AdWords isn't a free advertisement.

TLA - Paid for Links

This "Paid for Links" issue could be more complicated, everyone agrees that TLA is against Google / Adsense terms of service, but I have seen ADWORD adverts such as the following (this one on Googles own Adsense forum !!!) Page Rank Checker Huge selection of Powerful Links Relevant Links on Authority Sites wxw.TextLinkBrokers.com (wxw to stop it creating a link on this post?) So, google accept payment to promote a service that google bans ?

Adwords

I agree.

Adwords is also paid link (even though they do not give you PageRank). So what is the difference?

Endless Debate

As long as they're only guidelines, nobody has to follow them; they're just encouraged to do that. so all debates are useless. Google can either find a way to penalize them, or get used to it.

thanks

Thanks

Google is getting unfair...They should realize it, the sooner the better...And what do they mean by "Other search engines have said similar things"?...

Don't game google.  Simple.  People saying that you can add some code to a wordpress theme and google can't figure it out... crazy.. they will simply devalue it, maybe not tomorrow, but the day after for sure.  And the comment about the gorilla ... no longer 500 pounds, probably up to 595 and counting..

Google and New Paid Links Service Article

I guess they are now sending out mixed signals, well basically stick with us or be penalised if all doesnt work out well in the text links services (once Google figure out a way to automatically catch users of the service!).  I work on organic seo so was glad to read the weeding out of them also, so I won't bother at all and will stick with Google!  Thanx for the interesting article Web Pro News.

Have a lovely day! - Sue,

Thanx for the interesting article Web Pro News.

I too believe working with a fair approach may be it is a Google, yahoo or Msn Is imporant. Unfair means for promotion of websites needs to be penalised. After all, we do have a trade associations and protocals  for the internet too.

Google knows it....then why

Why this double standard from G, when they are already devaluing the PRs of blogs which do sponsored reviews and giving a full stop to legitimate income of some blogmasters...and when they themselves are selling sponsored links on their SERPs....and talking about FTC "guidelines" spelling them as rules to webmasters....where is the big G taking us...quite confusing i must say....well seems to be they themselves are confused

Uh-Oh, Another monopoly on

Uh-Oh, Another monopoly on the works...

Google isn't stupid

Hi,

I think the problem is that people see the link, just like the search engines do, but detection is the first part, the second is what do we do with those links? 

I believe Google devalues them considerably.

In fact I have several websites, for example, one on hemorrhoids and one on health conditions, they are interlinked - very obviously, as I try and move traffic from one domain to another.

Google does see these links, they do appear in Google tools, and I know Google devalues them to just about nothing, if not nothing.  They don't pass on any real PR

The purpose isn't about paid links, which they are not, they are my other websites and i would hope that people who enjoyed one website would benefit and enjoy the other if it was relevant to them - but it's about moving traffic.

The point is, the very example you give about paid links - well that code is essentially the same as mine - so you see, if you came to my hemorrhoids site, you would incorrectly assume I sold links to my teeth website.

Google is more savy than what the article portrays Google as.

Kind regards.

I knew it!

I knew there would be a catch.

I need to have good content in which to have the hmm (secret sshh,paid) links inserted.

Maybe just what i need

This service could be just what i need for my liitle games site,(not to be confused with another site here sounding similar).

As a rather unimportant presence in googles scheme of things,and never going to progress to dizzying heights in the online games market,this Inlinks thing may help to make my website FAMOUS! wow; So i think i will give it a go.

See you all on easy street sometime soon folks

Whats the problem with

Whats the problem with google??... why are they making all these changes... aren't the white has SEO at google that smart as black hat SEO's out there on net   or        google is jealous  of those who earn on net or wat??

anyways nice article... Webpronews rocks!!!!

 

Also do visit my blog @  http://tech-wonders.blogspot.com/

anything is money

nice  write ... ill try do it anything for earn money ..

Technology Stuff

Chris, first I would like to congratulate you to open an important issue. All we guys are waiting for this stuff exactly after 3 months cycle. And the basis which is important here is only the links. It never relates to google that has been paid or getting on free of cost.

I am strongly agree to computer tutor on this ground.

 

 

It shouldn't matter.

I don't see any problem with offering links at a fee or for free. Shouldn't that be up to me, the website owner? I have a directory on my website www.computertutorforseniors.com and I just don't understand how Google would be able to tell who paid me and who didn't for a link.

Paid Links and Google.

What most gripes me about Google and their objection to paid links is that Google's entire fortune was built on selling paid links !!

Why should they decide that we can't earn money the same way they do?  Isn't that hypocritical of them?

Web design and hosting since 1995

Google is not everything

Why people bother about Google? Or why Google always worry about people making money from their blogs or websites? They are the lord of Internet? Huh. When they can make money, why can't a little fish?

BTW, do they disclose everything?
