High Risk - The combination of off-topic linkbait

[zihadhasan012]

Even if you manged to, for example, bribe Digg into promoting your story on the homepage, if that story attracts natural links from bloggers, writers, journalists, website owners, etc. it's still fulfilled the search engines' principles of high quality content that naturally derived editorial links. Moderate Risk - Production of somewhat "off-topic" linkbait that has only a loose thread tie to the content of the site. While I don't believe the links will be devalued, it's possible that they won't provide as much help to the other sections of the site or it's overall domain authority and ability to push up the rankings universally across the domain.


And manipulative push practices, possibly with othe turkey mobile phone numbers database r less-than-fully-honest tactics like highly manipulative or irrelevant anchor text pointing to the content's "sponsor" or "creator" (typically, this is fine to do, but when employing certain types of "off-topic" anchor text, you need to be carfeful). Extreme Risk - Creating content that attracts natural adoption of link code that recommends or points to something other than the original piece intended by the link creator.


This could happen by crafting micro-sites on a topic, attracting links and redirecting them to off-topic, commercially focused pages/sites; embedding links into a "copy + paste this code" piece that visitors may not realize links to a location they didn't intend to endorse; etc. You can probably tell that I'm a big believer in and supporter of viral content.
