The Paid Links Question

Posted on June 26th, 2009 by Urbain


Getting back links is critical for good search engine rankings with Google.

For years, a hot topic has been whether paid links vs. free links have weight with Google.  In the following video, Matt Cullen explains that in evaluating the power of a link, Google looks at the editorial value of a directory.  Directories with editorial discretion and review are considered high quality links. He says that it is not necessary to focus on looking for a lot of directory listings.

    I have never focused on directory listings. It just seem way too easy to get a backlink. After awhile directory listings become nothing but link farms.
