We all need more backlinks, Google demands them.

Every link is a vote whether from a related site or not.

This forum has over 3800 members. Imagine if we all linked
with each other? Our sites would sky rocket to the top of the
serps. This forum would have the highest percentage of
successful web sites on the internet. Why is everyone so
afraid of success?

Anyway, I'm open for some link swaps. If you want to swap
links, add my link then let me know by posting here.


<a href="http://filipina-sweethearts.com">Philippine Brides ~ Mail Order News</a>


Description: (if you want it, i don't really care about it)
Our 15 Day Trial account allows you to actually send emails to our girls and read their replies. Our Philippine girls are not all done up with make up and professionally photographed. None of our lady Philippine pen pals are posed in bikinis or other skimpy clothing. Our pen pal girls do not need translation services, they are genuine, small town Philippine island girls dreaming of finding a regular guy to be her man.


My homepage is PR5, which is a good vote. I'll put your link there if you can give me the equivalent, otherwise we can swap link page to link page.

Actually this would not work. Remember the value of the vote depends on Total Pr value divided by number of unique outbound links. So your PR4 with 3800 outbounds would pass a .001 vote.

Better to find context relative with a limited number of outbound links.

Well, with 3800 links, I would not put them all on one page of course.


Why should they be context relative? Why is everyone voting for their competition only?

Who started this rumor that related links are given more weight by Google?

Everyone knows that related links pull better weight on Google. When Google spiders a web site, it gets a feel for what the web site is about. If the web site linking to you is related, the link has a better chance of being picked up by Google and will be more effective.

I disagree. It's more like everyone thinks they know that. Where's the evidence? Please provide us with the URL of the documented test findings.

You are implying human intelligence and human qualities. Googlebot can not feel things. It can not make a subjective judgement regarding the theme of a page. It does not understand English. It can not "read". It just downloads the page into Googles database. You can see this by clicking on "cache" next to any search results.

If the web site linking to you is related, the link has a better chance of being picked up by Google...

As far as is publicly known, Googlebot follows all html links. This is why it is said that we don't need to submit our URL to Google; it will find our pages from links. It is not a matter of chance or luck or better circumstances. Googlebot does not prejudge the link, it simply follows it and downloads the next page.

...and will be more effective.

If CNN.com, (or some other PR9 site), links to an article on your site, you get a **** good link! And I'm sure you would link to them so that everyone knows they liked your article.

Or would you email them "I'm so sorry, my site has nothing to do with international news, (or whatever), your site is not related, therefore, we can not, we will not, link to you".


You are entitled to express your opinion, but please do not state it as though it were a fact chisieled in concrete unless you are prepared to show the evidence.

Thank you,

I agree with him somewhat. Who can document relavance ? How ? I don't understand how !! If I am a webmaster of a Pharmacy website and I have a link from it, does it not give me benefit. Is it not related ?

Hi Naku, I'm not sure who you're agreeing with, hehe.


Let's take another example. Let's say that I own weather.com, (I wish, heh).

Are all you people saying that as the owner of weather.com I should only link with related sites? What sites would that be? Weather sites?

And are you saying that a PR6 link from another weather site is better than a PR6 link from any other site?

Sorry, but I think all you "related sites only" linkers have been duped, hoodwinked, and scammed.

One more thing. Check your top competitors backlinks. Most will be of the same theme, I agree, but they will have many, many links to sites UNrelated. Meanwhile they are preaching to you not to do that, haha.

PS: Naku, I will definitely be pm'ing you about links soon, thanks.

I added a link to your site on my links page....I would like my reciprocal link to read

Hi evil,

Thank you for the courtesy of adding my link first. You have a
nice looking site.

However, (and please excuse my paranoia), the url to your links
page is a different domain and that makes me a bit nervous.

Is there a reason for this that I should know?


Bompa

no. CheapCost.com is forwarded to my amazon affiliate site

An associate setup the directory http://www.snuka.com and I promised I would help promote it. You can submit your websites to this directory and I can make 100% sure your domains get listed, could some of you put a link to it in exchange?
