Dollarlinking - people are going crazy.

sniperhiga · 04-01-2007, 03:51 AM

www.dollarlinking.com I remember i paid $100 to be on front page. It gave me good traffic... but now if you take a look, people spend $600+ for 1 link.
It is really crazy, for the same ammount of money you can get hundereds links from google websites.

I will pay $700/year only for link on site with pr8+ with good traffic.

Ha, thats Chris, he paid all top spots for 661 US$, that's 5 times 611

Is there any chance that Google bans dollarlinking? are they only selling page rank?

Yes well dollarlinking is not exactly a PR8 site. And the worst thing is there are currently 5 bids at 662 and one bid at 661 with only 5 spots on the front page. So who is going to be the one to settle for less than front page? Its totally stupid in my humble opinion... $660 could buy me some extrememly good links and I wouldnt waste it on that site.

I think people are paying or bidding on the premise it could become a high PR perhaps?

Is it always better to be on the homepage of a website?

But wait a little while and someone will disagree with me... hehehe

I think that the 1000s of Text Links From $10/m belongs to dollarlinking themselves, and they are scamming on chris who has bid a tremendous amount of money thus far.

If you look at it, it is an affiliate link for tracking. Could dollarlinking also associated with iwebtools, be scammers?
I guess only textlinkads would be able to answer this, or let me see that htaccess file

Google has said that paid links should include the nofollow code.

So what do you think will happen if people just keep on going as they are and charge for links without adding the nofollow tag? Do you think Google will go as far as flagging sites who don't play thier game?

40% sites buy links! In this case they have to punish everyone.

If they do this, only Wikipedia will be in Google index

Do you think Google are possibly aiming at the mass of directories and other scripts that have flooded the internet with this 'you buy a link off me and I'll buy a link from you' kind of thing? Also that bullshit dollarlinking system isn't doing anyone favours, what's that crap all about? It's nothing but speculated PR chasing effectively 'selling' Google a product. It certainly can't call itself a directory as it doesn't even fall under the defenition? Google have warned time and again against this crap but the quick buck merchants think they know it all and will spoil if for the serious directory owner.

Decent directories that have demonstrated over a fair period of time (I mean at least over a year or so) are unlikely to be affected even if they do charge, it will be the ones that have sprung up over the past X amount of months with the sole aim of selling links, often for PR chasers. Directories have a lawful right to sell links, to deny them of this would be abuse, sites other than directories will not be touched either I suspect for this again would be abuse of monopoly.

This is only an opinion though and I may be well off the mark. If I'm honest I don't think Google should be playing God, they sell links just as anyone else does, and as much as I don't like the dollarlinking type systems, I have to applaud thier desire to have a go at making money. What are Google saying, only they are allowed?
