This is why Selling “Irrelevant” Links is Bad!

I’ve been subscribed to Matt’s blog for a week now i wanted him to take another shot at explaining just why it is that he doesn’t like paid links besides the fact that they game/manipulate serps, its pretty obvious what you tell the newbie webmasters is:

If you don’t have links - You WON’T get a pr!

If you don’t have “keyworded” links - You WON’T get into serps!

For all my customers i tend to promote relevancy  at first then anything else, but the thing is that people ask for PR and good SERPs not just authority and a good reader-base now-adays so the only way that can be done is link bait ( i like it better because thats cheaper ) all you need is a good idea and you get tons of natural “keyworded” links to your inner or homepage - good thing huh? well apparently not, with all the paid links flying around here some natural links might even get the hit, and thats where all the good hard work goes down the drain…

The only reason they hate paid links is there is a definite 60%+ chance that the reviewer or the seller is probably being so irrelevant and misguiding to the whole topic that it may spread bad/wrong info and that would ruin google’s credibility as a search engine and producing useful results.

Matt pointed out a link building guide of a sort.. as it notes out “Bad neighborhoods” i think every new blog or just a blog with alot of blogroll links are considered bad here as well, and that gets on my nerves because the only reason Google is being manipulated by paid links is because its letting that happen and everyone right this instant is making a ton of money doing that, in my opinion Google took the cheaper way out of the whole “Gaming SERPs” issue to keep its authority..
