Griz is reporting here that Google has de-indexed all of Backlink Solutions blogs. Now, it could be some kind of temporary glitch, but that’s doubtful. I wonder for how long will Linkvana be safe.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, Backlink Solutions is a program that charges a monthly fee to post on their large network of blogs in order to get backlinks to your sites, which in turn is supposed to help your search engine rankings. I don’t use it, but it’s highly effective I’m told. Or it was highly effective. Linkvana offers a similar service, although supposedly their network is more covert and will be harder for Google to detect, though I don’t really think they are safe either.
My advice would be that if you are going to use any of these “unnatural” linking schemes, don’t use them to link to your money sites, or your sites that are really important to you. Instead, use them to link to intermediary sites, such as blogger blogs, squidoo lenses, hubpages, etc., which you can then use to link to your money sites.
Speaking of Griz, he has a great make money online blog that you should check out. The guy really knows what he’s talking about.
