So, I wanted to do one last Black Hat SEO article before i get on to blogging again, I thought why not link injection? Here we go.
In the world of SEO, links have played a vital role in leading a site to success. Link building has been a great tool in strengthening your site’s page ranking in search engines, increase incoming traffic and of course, bring in more profits to your site. But we also know that links can put your site’s business in peril, especially when they are used the forbidden way.
Yet, while a lot of SEO experts discourage us from using black hat techniques especially when it involves the use of links, webmasters still use these methods in order to generate more income to their sites. Why? It’s because these methods are truly effective, and they could have done more if not for the search engines. So, if you are a webmaster who either doesn’t care of what the search engines would do to your site, or if you are the kind who finds happiness in outsmarting the search engines, then this article is for you.
Link injection: A review
Among the traditional black hat SEO techniques is link injection. Link injection is the way of inserting your affiliate links to already popular and reputable sites. In this process, you get to ride your links on to their traffic, so that they too would be included when users click on these sites. Link injection is also known as social site spamming, as you target the places where real people are.
How to do a link injection
To start your link injection scheme, first, you have to choose a social site. These include Craigslist, Friendster, FaceBook, MySpace, forums, Yahoo Answers, Blogger.com, as well as chatrooms.
Create an account on each of these sites and jot down all the information details on paper while signing up. This is to help you remember which links are which, and which passwords are which. Also, take note of the Captchas or secondary forms you would be required to answer. Then confirm your membership through the verification emails sent to you.
The next thing you have to think about is your market. Evaluate your target audiences and see how you can rip money from them. After which, get yourself a niche where your audience fits in. By then you would know which affiliate offer you can insert on the sites you have registered. Use those which are inconspicuous-those which tend to provide genuine help but at the same time promote their products and services. It is also important to get a high converting offer especially when you are starting to receive a high amount of traffic, and this can be established by using discreet affiliate promotions.
Afterwards, go back to your account and try to create posts in which you would insert your affiliate offers. Make your posts quite helpful and interesting so that the post would invite a lot of readers. Your main goal here is to make that link stick on to your post, and make people thankful that you inserted that link.
Test the above steps for a few days, and monitor how long your link sticks in your post, how many people have seen and clicked on that link and how many were converted. This is quite important since you would learn how much you would be getting, as well as how much effort you should exert in order to get the money you want to gain. Make it a point to make the links sound discreet so that they can entice more people. Through monitoring, you get to know which links grab the most attention and which don’t help at all.
Once you have done the testing and found out which factors work in providing great profits to your end, it’s time to repeat the entire process. You can make your life easier by using a pseudo code. A pseudo code consists of your account info and the link you will use as well as your user input tags. From there, the process will be automated.
With the help of a programmer, work out your pseudo code and come up with a program that can do the process in an automatic manner. Well there are available programs that can do the things you have indicated in your pseudo code, but chances are these programs have already been used and cracked by other webmasters. Hence it is more beneficial if you have a custom made program script in order to do your tasks safe and secure.
Once you start earning big money and have achieved your target income, get out o the rat race. Remember that link injection is a short-term investment, and like many other black hat techniques, this method would only put your business in danger in the long run. The trick to using black hat techniques such as this is to drop them off while they are still good, or else they’ll be the one to leave you broke.

This seems powerfull. Can it be made on forums too?
January 20th, 2009 at 6:10 am
I thought most affiliate programs disallow using social sites because the conversion is too low. Social site users just only click on the link.

I learn a lot about black hat techniques from your Post. I thing Search engine should have some algorithms to track out such technique.
January 26th, 2009 at 12:40 am
Unfortunately, most forums do not carry enough weight with the SE's to maks such a technique work.
January 26th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
It's a good idea but has to be handle very carefully as can have very bad consequences.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:00 am
Got to love the step by step methods you post.
Link injection is some really deep blackhat stuff.
Can make you big money but it is very short term and for the brave.
thanks for the post.

I am not a big fan of Black Hat techniques but some of them that I read about seem to be pretty easy to do and others seem like they will get picked up on straight away
January 31st, 2009 at 8:39 am
such a great point i think try and stay away from seo company that follow seo techniques that can get you into such troubles, and are capable of getting you black listed from search engines.
February 5th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
Blackhat techniques are very dangerous, Google will blacklist you if they find out. Also Balckhat techniques only have a short term affect and not a long term effect.
February 6th, 2009 at 3:52 am

Ive followed your post on black hat techniques, and howie e-mails me with new things to try though in the short interim it might pay off but its still content that keeps them comming back and google is getting itchy web crawlers lately
April 4th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
Thanks for the post. I have a website that gets good Google love for the home page but for some reason I can seem to get one of my webpages into the SERP's no matter what I have tried to do. I bumped into this post and it dawned on me that there are several things I didn't take into consideration. I am going right now to my website to make the changes that you have mentioned here No Wait I see that there is a part two to this so I will go there first then implement the changes.

Like someone else said, I'm actually a bit confused…. why is this link injection a black hat? Why should be wrong to post to social networks, provide useful comments, and put your link, that may even be a useful link as well? So I guess I am missing something, or I'm just too young in this SEO business….
July 27th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
i have seen many company inserting their links through various black hat method with .edu or other authority domain.
August 1st, 2009 at 10:16 am
Interesting, however, where do we put the line that divides black from white (or gray if we want) SEO? I guess each one can feel free to set its own "line"…
August 13th, 2009 at 10:22 am
