Changes coming to AWE (backlinks)
 

I don't promote them. I don't recommend promoting them but I thought maybe some people would appreciate the heads up.

Looks like they are up to something.

interstesting info

I smell fish!

sounds like they are preparing to throw the baby out with the bathwater

In my world I see it as an attempt to get people to switch out all hundres of thousands of back links to livejasmin.com which as of right now ranks a lot higher than jasmin.com. There are simply too many back links to LJ, and web masters are too lazy with switching to Jasmin, since the affiliate links/tools works anyway. But they do not get the seo juice they used to, but no one would support them/help change out their links to them if they came out and said that right out.

The search engine toxic blackhat links issue is real anyway, wheter livejasmin or jasmin.

They don't need too if livejasmin.com 301 redirects to jasmin.com. The link juice still flows.

I thought there was no such thing as "negative SEO".. So why would links back from other affiliates' websites be an issue?.. :winkwink:

Why would anyone link to them without rel=nofollow, either?.. :upsidedow

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh well people are buying .info and cutting to the front of the line with blackhat

Well.. Blackhat is different. I can build a new blog and send 10,000 links to it gradually with some php, which usually brings my blogs to page 1 of my targeted terms. Then crashes in about 3 weeks. :Oh crap

I need to learn more blackhat :upsidedow

Ah sorry missed it.

I wouldn't be surprised if they try to make part of it about people not being allowed to use nofollow. Some other scumbag company tried it and sounds like something AWE would attempt.

Come on. Do you really think they need to comply to G ?
They don't need G at all (well almost)

that's the kind of mess they dont want. spam links

99.9% of people that have a comp know what google is. :2 cents: they will take you out of the search and it hurts. :Oh crap

"It is our intention not to simply de-index these toxic backlinks"

awe cant deindex the links - the only "person" that can do it is the applicable search engine,
and whats the point of deindexing a link, when it wont make any difference unless you "tell" the search engine,
dear sir/madman, this site has a dodgy link, (or lots) because the search engine will know long before anyone else ?

Hi there,

The reason behind this decision was to protect our brand. The major search engines change their guidelines from time to time and we need to adapt. We feel it is better safe than sorry.

If you have any questions for us, we remain at your disposal.

Have a nice day!
