In my profession, I see the image posted below and wonder how exactly this failure came to be. It’s forum spam, and it’s a failure of forum spam at that. It’s the kind of forum spam that Google cracks down on when scrubbing your site. It could potentially get you black listed if you fail enough times by doing backlinking this way.
I suppose my question is did someone actually do this themselves? Or did they trust someone else enough to let them do it this poorly? I have a hard enough time giving someone access to keywords that I’m going after let alone do a shoddy backlinking campaign to my website. Let’s be honest here, this is exactly the kind of fear you should have if you hire an internet marketer or SEO and don’t ask the proper questions about the backlinking tactics they use.
This form of spam is using the technique called “spinning text.” I’m familiar with it because in my profession, I have to read up on absolutely everything good and bad in the world of SEO. Not to mention that I see these kinds of things on a daily occurrence the through hundreds of websites that I work on at any given time. The sad thing I supposes is that whoever did this took the easy way out. They had to either pay for the program, or they paid someone else who used the program to over charge their client and continue on about their business while collecting easy money.
Backlinking is hard, time-consuming, and if done incorrectly it can ruin your site. Don’t take the easy way out when it comes to the quality of your website. You pay what you get for, and always be sure to ask the right questions when it comes to hiring an internet marketer. Don’t let them do this to your website.
