Using Change.org petitions to build backlinks
 

Been getting tons of "Quick favor" emails re petitions on change.org

I've heard these are used to build backlinks

Can anyone let the cat out of the bag on this trick?

I have no idea but ended up signing a petition though!

Do you have any example? I checked few random entries and dont see any links posted there.

haters do this for free man.

They're nofollow links. They're stupid for going after nofollow links.

I did some digging. Mofos are submitting articles to Change.org and the petitions they push around is to give legitimacy to their linked pages. Clever...
