JL Forums

You obviously misunderstood me so I'll embelish. Heavily focused does not mean "NO" link diversity, we are not stupid people so please don't try to imply this. Each site I do has a defined linking strategy in the search for an ideal blend. The heavily hit sites used a method suggested last year in this very forum, 1 way links supplemented by senuke x Web 2.0, bookmarking and press release modules.

Sites on which this strategy was not used were not hit anywhere near as badly, so logically this points to a devaluation or penalty for links from the network.

Your second point is just build more links. Fine if you want to do that, but being professional about this myself and no doubt others would like to rebuild from as clean a base as possible. So getting rid of thousands of what Google sees as spammy links in one go is a logical step if it had been possible.

Provided you have kept a good record of all links created, especially the ones you have control over, it's the easiest thing in the world to edit links, and not a "fools errand"

any require on domain name, can we use the same domain those deindexed site just switch them from blog to article directory?

No, you can't. The point of getting links is to have them on sites indexed in Google. So if your site is deindexed, you can't use it in the network.

1) what will make these different than any other none ranking article site?
2) is there a plan to help get and keep them indexed?
3) will sites be interlinked or promoted in any way? random linking / bookmarks, etc.?
3) how will authority be built to insure the links from these sites make a difference

I'll answer all of these questions together.

We will build links to the home page of the article directories and to each article page to ensure that the articles are indexed and the the sites have authority.  The sites will not interlink to each other. That's a red flag we're avoiding.

4) Why only resource links? doesn't body text links work better?

No. As long as the link is inside the content of the resource box it is still considered an "editorial link" in the eyes of the search engine. Keep the resource box on-topic and it becomes a themed link.

sorry... not trying to sound negative, but the reason that the good blog networks worked was because they have page rank/ authority and post would generally stay on the home page for some time.

The blogs in the network typically don't have much pagerank because we aren't currently building links to the home page (though we do get links to each post to ensure they get indexed). So the new article directory sites will actually be much more powerful than the blogs due to the way we're creating links to the sites.

And posts didn't stay on the home page for very long at all -- sometimes only a few minutes. So there's very little benefit from that.

I had not considered that aspect of it.  I simply felt that if the individual was too ignorant to understand the value of a one way link to his site I would remove the link.

This articles in searchengineland.com discuss this issue and whether you can be sued for having links to another web site.

In conclusion, linking to others (legal, non-infringing) content is perfectly legal.  With that said have you seen an uptick in link removal requests?[/end quote]
