The Master Teaches the Student the skills to pay his bills

Recently I have been working through a large number of websites, and of course experimenting with all forms of link building – with a variety of success….

Firstly I should add, that I only offer a ethical SEO Link building for websites for all client based work, however as an SEO I use a number of my money making sites to learn about both ethical and certain unethical techniques.

Backlinks.com is one of many websites who offer you the ability to rent links. This is a strictly forbidden process by the search engines for organic results, however paid link sites often say you can not tell the difference between a paid and a genuine link using there scripts. But is this really the truth?

Truthfully a lot of people will never know, there are a lot of factors and as such I decided to run an experiment on the fact, and push two virtually identical new domains after the same uncompetitive keyword…Every factor was kept as near as possible, keyword densities, number of words on the page, both had unique content, both sites used the same template – and crucially where put live within 5 minutes of each other on two different class c ip addresses. Basically the sites both had the same chances of getting rankings as per the on-page SEO.

However, on site A, I put $30 worth of paid/rented links onto the page if you include the amount of time I spent, and site B I spent the equivelent amount of time ($30 worth) manually building links to the site.

I was quite surprised to find today when I revisited the websites this morning that both sites where page 1, however the site with backlinks.com links on was 3rd, and the one I manually link built was 8th.

In my opinion this is due to the fact every single link I rented went live immediately, however the manually built ones – some where rejected or on a page with pr of 0 – this is something which must be considered.

I would reccomend the service if you are working on your own campaigns, however make sure you know what is going on and the links may become worthless in the future.
