SEO: Posting your URL at mainstream blogs - GoFuckYourself.com

Socks · 12-03-2007, 07:28 PM

I noticed a lot of mainstream blogs let you type in a URL when you make a post, which seems to me like a great way to build some backlinks. I'm curious though, if you do this at a mainstream tech blog or whatever, will it have a negative effect, or a positive one for an adult site?

MikesTraffic · 12-03-2007, 07:30 PM

They might not like it that much that you are posting your adult based site link on their mainstream one :P

thonglife · 12-03-2007, 07:30 PM

I would think it will have a negative effect on the mainstream site... unknown on the adult. My mainstream partner and I have a mainstream site and were linking to it from our adult sites. Google penalized the mainstream one thus we ended up removing the links to the mainstream.

I've suspected that often as well, although the answer everyone gives anywhere you ask is that an inbound link can never hurt you (as they say that sabotage would be too easy)

so if what you are saying is true, all we need to sabotage some of our mainstream keyword competitors is to fire up some nasty porn splogs and link to the mainstream sites

come to think of it, for a mainstream site of mine that is getting terrible indexing from google that is unproportionally bad compared to other similar sites of mine.... I found that many backlinks I had to that site were coming from some message board spambots that had picked up my url and added it into a long list of urls that they were spamming with

Why would you put an adult link on a mainstream site? You think that is a relevant link?

More likely than not, they have a nofollow tag going on anyway.

baddog · 12-03-2007, 09:41 PM

But to answer your question, yes, it would likely have a negative effect on the mainstream site.

Negative effect in sense of SEO or in sense of effecting it visitors?

V_RocKs · 12-03-2007, 10:10 PM

Why not use this as your jump into mainstream?

What he said. Link spamming blogs generally does you no good for the reason stated above. Shady ass shit anyway. If you want links, make it easy for people to link to you ( via a script ) and link bait, not spam.

Klen · 12-03-2007, 11:01 PM

Now 99% of blogs have no follow tag so posting any kind of link simply doesnt have any sense.

WiredGuy · 12-03-2007, 11:23 PM

Check the source if they have nofollow first, chances are they don't. If they do, they'll likely delete your link for having a link from mainstream to porn.

Lamis · 12-03-2007, 11:25 PM

95% of them have the nofollow tag.

Don't waste your time is my two cents.

Google will likely think the mainstream site isn't paying much attention if they are letting such irrelevant links get by.

Even the text of the URL itself is going to be irrelevant to the site.

Not a smart idea.

bdld · 12-04-2007, 12:38 AM

like others have said, the link most likely carries a nofollow tag, so google won't see it.

Not exactly correct.

If the anchor text is porn related, or the URL shows and it has porn related words in it, it is going to be irrelevant text, thus bad for the mainstream site.

Has anyone every really found out if "non-relevant" links hurt serp? I mean, how are links relevant on Digg?

"inbound links hurting ranks" seems like a job for MisteryBusters

pornguy · 03-19-2010, 09:04 AM

as my son would say. " We've got ourselves a mystery. "

Serge Litehead · 03-19-2010, 09:17 AM

lets say following scenario is true:

lets say we have some hypothetical internetganstaz.com board which is top 10 site on the internet. its not a porn site, but lets say G sees it as an adult property because ganstaz ain't fucking around on the webz they will kick anybody asses with their keyboard skillz.

theoretically this forum as some of you say labeled by G as an adult board (lots of cursing), since its top10 site it has huge authority and link weight in the adult realm.
lets say this web ganstaz started massively linking to microsoft saying all kinds of stuff like windows sucks etc etc

if inbound links may hurt ranks, will MS loose its positions for relative terms to their competitors in the ranks in this case?

mainstream talking and mad linking to large tubes must really be killing their serps into no existance. /sarcasm

Rankings · 03-19-2010, 03:38 PM

bad bad idea, quick way to get penalized or banned. You will get away with it for a little while, but once the site is spidered and followed thru to your site, you will be flagged. Giving that anyone can do this to you as a competitor, Google usually over looks 1 or 2, but to try and build up links by steadily using this method, your rankings will fall off the face of the earth

fatfoo · 03-19-2010, 04:16 PM

Mainstream sites may not allow links to adult sites, right?

I don't see any other negative effects.

I can't imagine this is why you were being penalized. If this were the case, competitor sites could very easily influence the ranking of another site by throwing non-relevant and bad neighborhood links to it.

A possible exception to this could be links from a known link farm or paid links.

In any case, this is a Joe Job waiting to happen, and I think the SEs are smarter than this.

BigRod · 03-19-2010, 04:57 PM

There has been a ton of discussion around inbound links being harmful. I belong to the camp that suggests that NOW there is no way Google can penalize a site for something someone else is doing offsite. If you don't manage comments that could affect you negatively because that is onsite.

About 5 years ago it was possible to sabotage a competitor by dropping a ton of spammy links on them. They would get flagged as spam themselves and either loose rank or get delisted all together. AKA Google Bowling but this was cleaned up by Google within six months of it being publicly exposed.

Only problem is you're about 5 years late.

Bumping 2-3 year old SEO posts aren't going to tell you too much.
