One Thing You Need To Take Note Of When Guest Posting Or Dropping Forum Links by toheebDOTcom(m): 7:01pm On May 28, 2016 |
Some days ago, I posted a short article titled 3 Major Ways, One Fundamental tip for Blog’s Traffic in reply of someone’s request. While they were such wonderful tips, the second of the three tips prompted an argument which led to this post. The argument focused on the act of dropping links on forums as a good SEO practice or extremely bad one (and to be sincere, I kind of made a little blunder which I intend on correcting here). By extreme, it counter-attack your site leaving its ruins at the backyard of SEO’s house. Before i continue with today's jargons, you may need to read the post link above before continuing or better still, Follow the source link below. I quote my second point again
Now, let’s go back to our discussion. As you can see on #tip 2, i cancelled out something I feel is not entirely true. Well, let’s take the journey and see for ourselves. NB: All quotes has a link to their source. For verification, you may need to visit the Source below. It became clean clear when the Head of Google’s Webspam team, Matt Cutt, wrote an article titled “The decay and fall of guest blogging for SEO”. He clearly stated in the first paragraph the effect of Guest Blogging…
If that’s not straight forward enough, or you want to guest he’s not talking about forum links, wait a minute; John Mueller re-iterated it again in reply of a post on Google Product Forums that …
But it hasn’t started out bad, Matt Cutt said more about this in the article Ultimately, this is why we can’t have nice things in the SEO space: a trend starts out as authentic. Then more and more people pile on until only the barest trace of legitimate behavior remains. We’ve reached the point in the downward spiral where people are hawking “guest post outsourcing” and writing articles about “how to automate guest blogging.” What have we got to do? because a link on a forum with a million users has a potential traffic! Do Google and her people meant we don’t need to do this at all? Not really, there is in fact a logical statement in Google’s Webmaster quality Guidelines Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you’d feel comfortable explaining what you’ve done to a website that competes with you, or to a Google employee. Another useful test is to ask, “Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn’t exist?” And yes, we can conclude that one Forum Link doesn’t hurt. But, how many does? The simple answer is – We don’t know! I guess this is one thing being kept away from us. What if we need to drop multiple links? then we use an attribute on other links. It is called a nofollow link What is a nofollow link? nofollow is an attribute value of rel, created by Google, to prevent robots from following individual links on a page. You will want to use the attribute on any of the following case examples as stated by Google. ** text removed (not really neccessary) ** ** but you may check the source below if you are stubborn to know How do you create a nofollow link? All you need to do is insert rel="nofollow" along with a's href attribute. Want a clear example? see the source below. And I need to tag some people, as i don't want to offend Nairaland bots let me tag the two people that prompted the argument: Speakdatruth, vocalwalls. Source: toheebDOTcom |
