Thanks Alok :). This is a really nice piece..Even I keep getting that link exchange mails which I consciously avoid. I mean it is one thing to do it cos we find it is useful and completely another to go for a quid pro quo basis. It is a little annoying. I agree that although it seems very alluring to start with, it really is going to be very disastrous for someone who does for a purely commercial basis. Thank god goodle is actually punishing those 🙂

Yes Vinay, you are absolutely right. Thanks Vinay for liking the post and sharing your opinion about it. 🙂

I think Alok one good quality link building is better than 10 low quality links. Useful and informative as usual 🙂

You are absolutely right Ravish 🙂 It is indeed true. We should always focus towards getting a few quality links, by the way the concept of link building has gone now, and now we are in a world where the concept of link earning is going on.

Hello Alok, great article and I totally agree to what you’ve posted over here. Trying the above mentioned tricks would only do harm to you.
But I needed some more information from your article. Like you said poor quality bookmarking sites, it would have been good if you had suggested how to determine if a site is poor quality or not or which bookmarking sites should be used and which ones should be avoided and so on.
I am hoping to see articles related to the issue i mentioned. Thank you. 🙂-
Hey Manpreet, first of all thanks. You visited my blog, liked it and then shared your opinion about it, it is a great feeling for me. I indeed appreciate your efforts. Thank you so much, and yes I would definitely come up with a blog post on the things which you asked. Thank you for pointing out these things, I will be more than happy to write for these issues.
By The Way, I did not understand this line: “Trying the above mentioned tricks would only do harm to you.” You want to say no harm, or harm (seriously) 🙂

Oh I wanted to say that if you try things like link exachange, paid links and stuff, you would be in loss, not in any kind profit.

You are absolutely right Manpreet, paid links and exchanged links are truly a bad things for any website. Site owner should understand the fact that links from a quality site is better than getting a link from anywhere. By the way Manpreet, I just now posted the blog on your queries. Please check the blog on how to determine the quality of a social bookmarking site: https://www.inewsindia.com/2014/10/03/how-to-determine-the-quality-of-a-social-bookmarking-site/

This was so informative alok.
I definitely have to read more about blog commenting. Some things appear so easy but they harm you long term! Thanks for posting this.-
Thank you so much Rashmi, I am glad that you liked my blog post. You can also read the blog of mine of blog comments. That can really be handful to you. 🙂

I would like to seriously question behind the logic of using links as a benchmark for rankings. That google still takes penalty actions manually is yet another concern. Can I have some fabulous content on a website without any links. What will that measure with the search engines.
If one has linked up with someone or something in the past and if the link goes bad, then what. And when I say past, how about five years back.-
My dear Amsang, I am glad that you put these questions. Well honestly we too think in the same way, but to be very frank links are a vote to a particular page and hence considered as a popularity criteria.
Your points are quite genuine and valid enough, but then it is something on which our bread and butter goes on. Being as SEO it is our duty to check each and every links of our clients website, if it turns into a bad place then it is our duty to disavow those links.

Alok Bhai Sahab I have not much knowledge in this matter but in my view Google does less but beats the drums loud. I have a definite information that Govt. of India seriously considering to ban Gmail in Govt. offices. The next step may be to issue instructions to its employees to stop using Gmail. 90% of my blog traffic comes from MSN.

Ha ha, Sampat jee, I am hearing for the first time that someone is getting 90% of traffic through MSN, though my site ranks at number 1 and 2 on hundreds+ keywords on MSN and yahoo, but I hardly get a few visits from there. Actually it is around 0.005% of the total traffic, most of which comes through Google.
I am not at all aware about Govt. of India and its issue with gmail, though heard the news about it, but I cannot comment on that 🙂

No doubt, link building is a great source to build backliks, but the main thing is the “niche related and do follow backlinks”. Spammy techniques like link exchange and poor quality link building will definitely put blog at the bottom of the rank and in result the blogger may face such loss that can not be recovered in short period of time.

You are absolutely right Rafaqat. Thank you so much for your visit and comment over here. I am delighted that you supported my points. 🙂
