Over the past couple weeks there has been much histeria in the SEO world about Google’s latest crack-down against link networks and artificial link building in general. Judging from all the talk in popular SEO forums, this has a lot of people worried. There are many so called “Gurus” spewing out the usual “SEO is dead” commentary, as well as Google’s minions themselves stating that the algorythm has become so advanced that they will find all your links and crush them, de-list your site and all that crap.
Well, you should not believe everything you hear. I have not seen any change in any of my rankings, with the exception of a couple of my sites that are now ranked even better. As I have stated before in several posts, as long as you are publishing and distributing quality useful content, you have nothing to worry about.
Here is what a individual whom I highly respect has to say about this. I highly suggest you read this article if you are at all concerned about your backlinks:

Here John has basically the same view that I do on the subject – further proof that nothing has really changed with SEO.
So now that we have all that out of the way…
One of the things that I noticed a while back was that the vast majority of my backlinks were not even counting because Google was not even aware of them. It is stated that as high as 95% of your backlinks are providing you no value at all. This is hard to swallow when you are spending valuable time (and often money) to obtain those links.
You can relax, there is an easy solution to this problem…
Lately I have been using a service called BacklinksIndexer that is an extremely cost-effective solution to making sure that all your backlinks get noticed and counted by Google and other search engines. The concept here is to build backlinks to your backlinks. Doing this will raise the importance of the links pointing to your site. Since I started using this only a few months ago, I have noticed my rankings soar. I am not here to sell you on this service, but simply let you know about it. Go to the site and check it out for yourself –> BacklinksIndexer.
I hope you found this post helpful and that it has set your mind at ease about the future of SEO. Drop me a comment and let me know how you feel about this topic.
