I just cleared out 52 spam comments from people trying to get back links from me to their website, and find it quite ironic that someone would try that tactic on a blog about SEO. Getting back links is an important factor in getting your site ranked higher in the search engines, but it only helps if you link back to sites that are related to your topic of interest. I spam every comment that doesn’t have anything to do with the post, and every comment that sends me to a weight loss or pills for enlargement website.
These tactics being used here are called black hat tricks, and they are just that “tricks”. They are used to trick search engines into thinking you have valuable backlinks, but with advancements search engines can now tell if what you are linking to has anything relating to your website. If a site you are linking to has nothing to do with your website, you will get penalized for.
My advice would be to read a book on SEO, or check out some of the good blogs out there. Here is an SEO website worth checking out. To all spammers, Check out their software, and figure out how to get your site ranked correctly, and please stop leaving comments on this site because it creates 10 minutes of work a week I shouldn’t have to do.
