The Art of Link Spamming

It ceases to amaze me how many people complain after buying link-spamming tools like SE Nuke, Scrapebox, EVO II, Sick’s Profile Maker and – the big daddy of them all – Xrumer. The usual complaints are: ‘my site dropped in the SERPs’, ‘looks like my site is now banned’, ‘my site is still not indexed’, blah, blah, blah!

Realize, Google’s (and other SEs) spam team buy these tools and test them. They look for footprints and patterns. So, if you use them out-the-box then you may find they aren’t effective or they damage your sites’ ranking!

Most buyers of these tools fail to appreciate that link-spamming is a skill! Like learning to be a plumber, electrician or bricklayer, etc, but the art of link-spamming can be gained in a relatively short period unlike other trades.

As with learning any trade, trial and error plays a big role and so does learning from mistakes. Yet, I wonder how many owners of the tools above have bothered to learn how to use them properly or continually to develop their skill? Less than 5% perhaps?

First, let me tell you that all the above tools work and work well if you know how to use them. Also, if you know how to use them effectively, you cannot fail at moving your sites up the SERPs consistently!

So, how can you develop your link-spamming skills?

It’s so simple you’ll be floored: practice, make mistakes, learn from them and improve. Here’s how to do it. (While improving your link-spamming skills, practice on other peoples sites and NOT your own!)

Choose a small number of niches that you are not interested in. Choose some keywords related to those niches. Use the keywords to search Google and go to pages 10 to 15 and choose one of the URLs on that page. Now:

Spam lots links to a URL all with the same anchor text.
Find another URL and spam lots of links with varied anchor text.
Again, spam links to another URL using just profile pages.
Spam links to another URL using non-related anchor text.
Spam links embedded with spun text.
Spam just a few links to a URL, then after a while, a few more.
Etc.

Keep a journal and monitor  how the URLs perform in the SERPs, very soon, you’ll begin to understand how variations of link-spamming can affect sites and pages; especially when you see sites/pages move up the SERPs and even drop in the SERPs. Then, you’ll begin to develop insights into how to link-spam effectively and how to NOT link-spam!

Because link-building is such an important skill, WPBlackhat is being re-structured to provide even greater value to it members. As a result, we’ll be focusing on two core skills (with many case studies) that can take any-one who masters them to earning six-figures and beyond! What are those two core skills?

Link-building mastery, and;
Pre-selling master.

To make 6-figurres annually, these are the only 2 skills you really need and nothing else! I’ll explain more in my next post.
