Have you ever wondered why a couple of people including me request that only one outgoing link be placed in our article that we purchase from link sellers? Well today I am going to explain the reasoning behind why this is so!

Its really simple actually, its to avoid a paid link penalty from Google! Think of it this way, if you were organically reviewed by a big time website, they are only going to put one link to your site! Not 3-4.

I hope this tip helps you out enjoy!

1. Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is a great way of generating traffic and buzz to your website. Using services such as Onlywire and SocialPoster allows you to bookmark your website in multiple bookmarking sites all at once, which saves time and makes it easyer so your not bookmarking individually.

Social bookmarking builds backlinks aswell as brings traffic, services such as Digg can bring you huge ammounts of traffic if you have a site or blog post worth linking to which is usefull or funny or breaks news. I’v had my sites on the front page of Digg many times though out the past 6 months and everytime I’v had well over 30,000 uniques within 24 hours and useually around 5,000 every week for atleast a month after its been on the main page, it also gives many backlinks useusally around pr0-pr2 but can sometimes be higher since every member of Digg who Diggs your site is also backlinking to your site form there profile page and since Digg updates every few seconds Google is allways constantly on the site and will index your site very quickly.

Stumbleupon is also very good for traffic allthough not very good for decent ad clicking traffic, the users only stay on your site for around 2-3 minutes sometimes only a matter of seconds if the article, video or image doesnt attract there attention, again this builds pr0-pr6 backlinks useually averages around pr2.

2. Create a free wordpress, phpbb or CSS template and add your link to the footer

Creating a template which can be downloaded free of charge is a great way of building backlinks. If you build a free wordpress template remember to make it clean and attractive aswell as widget and adsence ready. You can submit your free wordpress template to the many free wordpress download sites which will improve downloads also remember to post the release around forums such as DigitalPoint and in our very own BzImage forum.

With releasing a wordpress theme you can add atleast 3 links to the footer useually designed by: example link, partners: example link and example link

By releasing a free theme or website template you will get free links in the footer of any website that uses that theme or template.

After the recent pr update and seeing how a few but not all of my sites dropped from Pr6s down to pr5 and even pr4s I began to wonder how this could be possible!

So after much thinking about it I have determined that the only thing different I did between the sites was the ones that dropped were listed openly on Digitalpoint for link exchanges, I should have know that right away that would have sparked Google’s interest!

So my biggest delight is to tell you to not list them publicly, do it through PM or email!
