Comment on UK Newspaper websites selling links to online gambling spammers… Again.. by Niall

hey mark
I’d say the head honchos know rightly, b/c I tweeted at them asking them if they were employing idiots and trying to get banned from Google etc.

Your interpretation was correct for 2nd part. Thanks for reading / commenting :)

I’d love to know what the risk to cost benefit is for sites like the Express. Surely they are only getting a few hundred quid a month tops for links like that. I also wonder if the head honchos know what risk they are running doing it.

Can I please ask though, what do you mean by “so the buyer can rank/brand parasites in the SERPs”? I see they are deep linking to a page with a number of different brands on it. Do you mean just to get this type of page ranking?

Comment on How NOT to build backlinks for online bingo by Alex Eliades

I got this exact email, agreed to work with them and publish their article on my site but I insisted on a reciprocal link from their blog. I put their article up, had poor communication and then waited for my link from their blog and nothing. Emailed a couple of times and eventually got an answer saying it would go up soon. I waited and waited and eventually removed their link from my site.

I do know though that this service is completely automated and from an agency (dont want to name names) hired by bingo.org.uk that I considered using myself but after the experience I had from a publishers perspective decided not to.

Sky not only buy links and rip off Google et al. They also rip off the general public at large; lest not forget News Corp hacking murdered girls mobile phones. Hope they burn in hell. Idiot bastards.

Welcome to real world corporate SEO! I see this on a daily basis for “best of breed” sites within various sectors. The question is though, why would Google ban a brand that attracts such high search volumes and probably spends huge amounts on PPC? Wouldn’t the negative out weigh the positive?

I doubt this will show up for generic type phrases – probably based on “true intent” of the search query.

Not seeing it here. Tried searching for a few brands, including GPWA, but just getting the usual site links.

Excellent post Niall.
I remember when Bingo.com was acquired by Maria/Unibet. They totally botched all of the technical aspects of the transition from old site to new whitelabel site, meaning that bingo.com went from #1 on google for “bingo” to page SIX due to not redirecting / moving the old content to new pages etc.

Needless to say that you shouldn’t ever assume a transition has been done correctly. TEST – TEST and TEST AGAIN.
