Dollarlinking - people are going crazy.

[jhnrang]

I have no idea if google will ban dollarlinking or it will ban all paid links altogether --which is what is going on at Matt Cutts blog. Lots of arguments- soem for and some against.

If Google will ban all paid links... Google will be like MSN

Yeah also noticed that, and homepage still in google cache: http://209.85.135.104/search?hl=en&r...om&btnG=Search

but innerpages are not cached anymore.. for instance M http://209.85.135.104/search?sourcei...ing.com%2Fm%2F

Also link operator doesn't provide any results anymore..

very interesting stuff. thanks for that post.

going over the last visit based on the Site operator results, it appears the last time it was cached was on april 25th:
http://209.85.135.104/search?q=cache...&ct=clnk&cd=15

interesting regardless. thanks for your observations. very much appreciated.

all PR has been stripped though.

Check current pagerank update.... Dollarlinking are going to be pr0

Just noticed the DollarLinking PR changes. This is obviously of concern for me, being the author of -

Fortunately, v1.2 brings category support, configurable nofollows, and a bunch of other jazz that will permanently bring phpLinkBid out of the DollarLinking league. The default install right now has nofollows on detail links, but frankly I think Google pushing nofollow is a load of crap. But that's just my opinion. I can't even start on that though, grr.

A lot of people take link bidding as "buying PR", but that's only a matter of opinion. Personally, I'm addicted to link bidding and what matters most to me is the *traffic* they send. That, and the branding exposure, of course I won't complain about any SE benefits either!

So, in this case you guys have to add "nofollow" tags.

I'm just going to make it easy to let the site owner choose on their own.

Needless to say I'm not a big fan of Google ATM. nofollow isn't a rating system, it's part of the HTML spec and serves a specific purposes. Using nofollow has greater implications than just keeping Google at bay.

I just noticed that... OUCH!

I hate bid for position sites...

Don't you think it has to do because of the porn links dollarlinking have?

That is a possibility.

ensuring that a site is 2257 compliant is really important. (no nippes)

Good point. I wonder.

Consider I haven't lost PR on my dollar sites (actually, gained PR).

I must say, you did a very good coding there, really impressive and admire it when i first saw the dollarlinking dot com, at that time, i've started looking over it for the similar code and doesn't know what it is name after till now.

Great job you've done there, i believe with that kind of idea, it can be use for other thing beside linkbiding.


Thanks.

i think it just a special case,
as dollarlink traffic increase too fast for a directory(35,000/5 month),
and attract google attention and blacklist it.
now i just concern who would bid more at dl.

Could Google ever be able to ban paid links altogether in a general sense, it would be pure abuse of monopoly? One thing they could possibly do is to disincentivise the whole link buying structure by not giving any PR credit to sites who deliberately sell links as a PR sales tool. Not saying this is going to be the case but judging from reports on PR updates or lack of them for certain directories who do buy and sell links could there be any foundation to my thoughts?

It is really crazy, for the same ammount of money you can get hundereds links from google websites.

Well thats excellent promotion. The people who spent over US$600 are serious about their projects and I like the approach. Of course it is possible to get 1000 backlinks for free too.

I would certainly get links from those sites who spent more money and try hard to promote their directories and sites.

Anyone who spends large amounts of money on promotion are seriously trying to market thier products but is it in vien? I can't for the life of me see how DL did not get any PR considering the amount of publicity and backlinks in forums etc they got. I've seen directories with half a link in them get higher PR, so whats going on!
