Links for casinos

Worst Linking Practice

I used to link as much as possible, thinking it would improve my website popularity. And it did to an extent. But the results were definitely not worth the time I spent on it, and I became suspiscious. So I looked into it, and this is what I found.

Worthless backlinks, how they do it

The majority (65%) of the websites erased their outgoing links shortly after the exchange agreement - early enough not to leave the time for the search engines to acknowledge them.
Most times, their links were so hard to find on their websites that there was not even a small chance that anyone would ever see them. Meanwhile, I was placing my outbound links in a very visible spot.
A few webmasters appeared to just be sloppy or ignorant by listing over 100 links in a single page. The robots stopped indexing before even reaching the next page link placed in the footer. One hundred is a theoretical maximum. My experiments indicate that 90 is safer.
Only 1 partner (out of 140) provided a listing from a page ranking better than 0. On my side, I had arranged to offer 1s, 2s and 3s. "Quick & sloppy" is how they too often work; And, their websites are not worth the stop!
Some websites and directories only gave the illusion of backlinking. Their webmasters code the links in Javascript and process them with PHP, which most spiders cannot read or follow. This common practice would be acceptable if the partner did not impose a plain html link in return. But he did every time. A link that the robots cannot read does nothing for a website. It is only acceptable when it comes from a search engine that sends in traffic.
I also found some of my incoming links on an orphan page, not connected to the rest of the website, thus never to be found by the crawlers. Usually, an email informed me of the incoming link whereabout and provided a direct link to land right onto it. Happy with this result, I didn't imagine then that it could be an isolated page.
A couple of robots.txt files contained an instruction to ignore the link exchange page. This is easy to verify, but who ever does it?
The last one is quite vicious. A "noindex" metatag was fed to the robot when the script sniffed a major search engine IP. Technically, it is not difficult to accomplish. But the only way to figure it out is to send one's own and personal crawler (who has one?) that fakes a robot IP, Google's for example.

In all, over 90% of our inbound links turned out to be trash. Without the right tools, and nobody telling you, you can go on for years without suspecting a thing while your website popularity remains mysteriously low.

Why do they do that?

Most times, you only try to exchange links with your competitors. It makes no sense: Why should a well established business want to transfer any of its potential customers to you or help you in any sort of way?
- The links exchange tools on the market simply ignore the basic common sense principles. They search for some websites similar to yours, gather their email addresses, and generate the bulk emails to send to the people that have the best reasons in the world not to want to help you.
From a Page Rank point of view, too many one way outgoing links are counter productive. They equate to transferring from 30 to 70% of your visitors to your linking partners. While on their side, they can only benefit from the many incoming links.
Links management takes time and efforts. Many webmasters are sloppy and lazy, which you can tell from a glance at their websites. And they will not invest in a good practice if they think they can get away with it.

The solution is honesty and professionalism

If after 3 months, the link does not appear in the Google or other search engines index, it's not worth keeping. No longer waste 90% of your precious time and efforts on the bad and sloppy guies! Instead, try the websites we list. Among them are the few Internet actors that can open the doors to your success. They are genuinely honest and completely free.
