Text Link Is Change
« Be careful with Paid Link« »Asian shares rally on hopes for government actions »
Many prominence website have a bad experience about paid link. Text link ads, a largest text link advertising service may have penalized by google, for a keyword text link ads, there is no result from txt link ads on first page. This case have making text link buyers and sellers scramble for a fair way to set the price of one way links, Google has depreciated visible PageRank (Toolbar Page Rank) over the last few months. Most all high PR websites, whether they sell links or not, have had their PageRank lowered by 1 – 4 points.
Websites with 100,000s of natural backlinks have gone from PR8 and PR9s to PR5 and PR6s bringing chaos to the link buying and selling business. Buyers are complaining they are paying for a PR8 and want a PR8 link and sellers are saying it’s the same link with the same value, just a different number of green bar pixels.
It is amazing how PageRank in ingrained in the text link ad market. Link buyers and sellers need to get off the PageRank bandwagon and look at the only measurement that matters – total backlinks. To get a value of a link page do the linkdomain: command at yahoo, then do the link: command for your link page, then count how many clicks you are from the home page.
The Linkdomain: command at Yahoo will tell you how many links point to an entire website. The link: command will tell you how many links are pointing directly to a specific page. Then use common sense to value the link. A PR5 with 100k backlinks is worth infinitely more than a PR5 link with 100 backlinks.
PageRank is still a key component of Google’s algorithm, Google has only scrambled the value of visible PageRank making it worthless for link pricing. So it’s time to take PageRank out of the equation. Within the next few months I tink PR will soon be removed as a standar metric and more emphasis will be placed on backlinks and clicks from homepage as the main valuation metrics.
