It is clear that you need to know where your linking is going to. Links can get out of control quickly.

I don't know if google punishes contest holders that says you should link to me to enter the contest. I think the way to go about a contest is to give the contestants a post to post on their site. The post would contain a link to your home page. .-= Trade Online´s last blog ..Trading Forex During Summer Holiday Period =-.

Thanks for the clarification Dave! The irony is … as far as I know, search engines look for relevant outgoing links as well. This is a great idea of how someone can shoot themself in the foot by getting too caught up in technicalities instead of visitors. A website which links to useful and relevant information is more valuable than one which only links to itself and tries to hoard all of its page rank – which doesn’t really work that way anyhow. Search engines know this too, they are consistently evolved to find the best quality websites, and the best quality websites are those which are created for visitors.

@ anna I believe what ansv means is that accumulating “real” backlinks, that is, links that actually reference material from another web site within context, is extremely unusual. I further believe this is a result of too much pre-occupation with “bleeding google link juice.” Another reason may be that most people on the web right now don’t understand what the web was designed to do, and haven’t ever really used the web as it was meant to be used… without search engines!

It turns out that in the early days of the web, linking to other articles was extremely common. These links, in fact, are why the web was put together at CERN in the first place.

I’m not sure if it hurts my “google page rank,” but I link contextually at will. If I can provide a link useful to a reader, I’ll do it, and the hell with whatever people say google thinks about it. This strategy will work better and better as time goes by.

@ ansv – if you mean something else, please add more comments, I’m very interested in what you have to say.

@ansv – Hi, thanks for the comment. I’m not 100% sure what you mean, in your first sentence you seem to think it is very easy but in your second sentence you state it is hard

In my opinion, getting back links or inbound links from do follow is very easy. But getting quality back links or inbound links is a difficult task.

Thanks for the great post. I am working as a SEO Executive and really don’t thought at this much deep point as you have mentioned for the themes for the hidden text or text links. I am agree with your all the points. There are many points to check whether a site link to you is good or bad. “http://linkchecker.submitexpress.com/”, “http://tool.motoricerca.info/spam-detector” hope this tool will help a little bit.

In my opinion, your site back link structure is an important aspect of your search engine optimization and relates to the number and quality of the sites that link to your site
