Affiliate Programs

By now most of you have heard about a group of people who call their self Anonymous who Googlebombed the Google SERPS with the terms “dangerous cult” and “brainwashing cult” and aimed the Googlebomb at the Church of Scientology’s website.

Why should any of us care? Because we can learn an important lesson here!

What’s the lesson? The Lesson to be learned is; no matter what Google or any other “Authority” states, Googlebombing still works and works well!

Okay, I have to be brutally honest with some of you. Your links suck. Big Time.

What?

Yeah, you heard me right. Your links suck!

You see, you proclaim to be a blogger or Webmaster. Yet, you make links like it was 1995! C’mon into the modern Internet age. Today, backlinks are probably the most important off page ranking factors for Google. And if you want to catch a bloggers attention, you’d better make them links properly!

If you’re going to take the time to make a link, then do it right and make it count!

There was a time not too long ago that if you needed a boost in the Search Engine Rankings all you had to do is submit your site to hundreds of Internet Directories and watch your website or blog crawl up the SERPS.

Fast forward a few years and that’s not necessarily the case any longer.

Oh Directories, How I Use To Love Thee

As I said above, in the past Directories were a short cut to a bundle of backlinks that would help your rankings.

So what has happened?

The same thing that happens to many good things on the Internet.

As I browse the Web any given day, I look at how Webmasters and Blog owners optimize their pages (or DON’T). One thing I keep seeing is the lack of optimized links. Google loves optimized links and images.
