The “Other” Method

Just in case you are a total Noob to Search Engine Optimization and you are just doing this SEO stuff because you don’t want to pony up several grand to some one that knows what he/she/it is doing, i will say the following despite the disclaimer which will inevitably follow this article, some of what i am going to talk about right now is unethical and can get you penalized by search engines, spamhaus/spamcop (non profit anti spam organizations) and angry webmasters, most of this techniques are used by the “dark side”, i mean casino’s, “pr0n” sites and online pharmacies.

How ever if you succeed with the following techniques and you are not caught you will shoot up immediately to the top of the rankings for the key words you are optimizing for, and i mean immediately, they are easier than the  arduous methods i recommend and cost little or no money. I have never done these techniques for any of my customers (and if the ask i probably wont do it any way) however we are all learning here so let me introduce you to link spamming techniques.

Link Dumping

Link Dumping: Link Dumping is the Black Hat art of dropping a link to your sites everywhere that is humanly possible for little to no money. Common link dumps include guest books, comment sections, and link exchanges. the most common method for this is easy you just do a search for blogs on wordpress.com that allow comments and you comment on every single one of them, stuffing your keywords into the comment and (of course) your URL. Now you know why you always get those kind of links, These guys are trying to do the same thing you are trying to do, game the search engines! These guys are on the prowl for the guy that left his comments “unmoderated” or even worse is just asleep on the job, spammers do so much volume that inevitably like half their links are left live, the solution is to moderate properly and to use the delink comment if you are a laissez faire web master, this seems strict but if you generate a lot of links this is the only way (see Youtube) The other solution looks easy right, just stick the nofollow tag on all comment links automatically and they are wasting their time.

The Big Secret

However the nofollow tag does not work properly, the back link does not reflect if you do a search but Google still counts the link as a vote, so you are giving the spammer some link juice. Yes you heard me right, nofollow does not work properly (sorry Wikipedia) however its hard to spam wiki because of the draconian editors who really run the entire show, so if the link is irrelevant it will be deleted, however if you can write some neat content which is sourced from your site then wiki works pretty good as an authourity site (this is despite the fact that they use no follow so its not supposed to count) but the search engines make up their own rules any way so they break the HTML protocols if the want. Now these methods are all really methods that are really easy plus they are simple so before i go check up a few friends and play frisbee, here is an automated method you could start using tonight.

Link Spamming Using Referals

Referral spamming is the action of sending multiple requests to a web site with a “referral url” that you want to promote . Then, you want either a webmaster to be curious about who is sending them traffic and visit the site by inspecting the logs, or (more often) you want the websites referral logs to be published (thereby creating free backlinks). The great thing about comment referral spam is that it is automated, manual methods are great to get around Captcha’s, but robots are just flummoxed by that gif thinkamajig, so you use comment referal spam, and you can get the code for a bot that does that here at destons blog, The code works best when the website make their logs public (they are not a lot but hey, its automated, let the script run and go to sleep). Okay i am off to get things done, hopefully i will continue posting on link spamming techniques later this evening.
