@Ez – Google have confirmed that backlinks helps your websites’ SERP’s.
And the have “nearly” confirmed that it doesn’t matter wether it’s a .edu or .net.

Go search the WF. There’s a post there about it. ( An interview of some Google guys)

To say that Google doesn’t want you to build backlinks is ludicrous. How else will people find your site if you don’t let people know about it? Backlinks whether it is from an article directory, guest post, blog comment, etc. let people know about your site. If people like your site, a lot, they may then help you build backlinks by providing you one, but for the most part it is a lonely affair.

Or maybe you have a lot of friends already, but that would seem to fly in the face of the above argument. For those that don’t believe you are supposed to build your own backlinks, please tell, what are you supposed to do?

Courtney Tuttle got his own PERSONALIZED Google slap when he proclaimed that backlinks were better than content!

What Google WANTS to see is quality content that is SO GOOD that others NATURALLY link to it.

The ultimate “catch 22” is to get your content EXPOSED to other WEB SITE OWNERS who will willingly link.

Backlinks are EXTREMELY important – and the best kind are the 1 way kind. Get a one way link from an .edu site and you’ll be AMAZED what one or two of those will do for your PR!

@Patrik, Shawn — I think you guys are talking about the webmaster guidelines. The idea of a TOS does not make sense for webmasters as webmasters are not google customers (people searching for websites are). In any case, Google webmaster guidelines are a confusing mess IMHO.

Let’s look at the extremes. If you go out and build a spam blog network of 10,000 sites with no content and link them all back to your site (and pay for that) — this is clearly something that Google would not like. Just because they don’t like it does not make it wrong, but it can hurt your ranking in their search engine if they catch you. So that is one extreme.

In contrast, if you pay $300 to get listed in DMOZ, Google loves that. Don’t ask me why. I guess they figure the “peer review” helps control spam.

Then again, if you build a the best website ever and call CNN and they link to you because they agree, Google loves that too. Still, you solicited that link.

Also, Google seems to be OK with links from things like eZineArticles. That is essentially a paid link. You are trading traffic (eZineArticles gets traffic from your content) for backlinks in the footer.

So, I am not sure what the answer is on Backlinks.

I suspect the answer is that you need to do stuff that makes sense that does not interrupt Google’s revenue model. If your sites have high AdSense CPA that converts well for Google’s customers (advertisers), I suspect they will not look at you as closely…

Just my two cents.

Going out and getting backlinks is against Googles terms of service. When you actively go out and get backlinks to your site you are trying to manipulate the search engine rankings and make your site appear to be more of an authority on whatever keywords you choose. This is seriously the fact.

I definitely make it a point to get as many backlinks to new sites and find it really does help push the sites up in the rankings.

Once links start coming naturally things seem to take care of themselves.

Building backlinks? What is Google TOS saying about that *LOL*

A link get most value over time, on a related site, an old site, a site with “google trust” … AND You can build Your own “site network” to use when building backlinks to Your “money sites” 😉
