“Only” is a big word. You dug out the good stuff from what for many people is an ongoing stream of gibberish. Thanks again Barrie!

Excellent post Barrie! I would like to recommend my article about “What if Google didn’t exist” which talks about the real approche with link building and some about guest posts. Guest posting is not the problem, it the fact that people make it what it’s not. check it out here: http://www.advancedwebranking.com/blog/what-if-google-didnt-exist/

Cheers,

Thank you for your comment Aahna,

It was Matt Cutts who cleared up those myths for you, I was only quoting him!

Regards,

Barrie

Hey Barrie,

You cleared 2 of my myths that I had before reading this post.

1. Links from selling the site and if Google caught selling site then you’re also likely to get penalized, as Google will think you’re the buyer and trying to manipulate the search engine.

2. I recently heard from somewhere that if you’re using the same anchor text to target the same content, then it’s likely to annoy the Google. But certainly that’s not the case. 🙂

Hey Barrie, youve picked a lot of interesting quotes from matt – especaly the ones about disavowing links. the disavow tool is still a secret to me personaly. ive uploaded multiple “detox” lists for different projects but they just do not get processed – even after 3 months they are still not processed. i use the right formats and syntax. do you have any experience with the tool and any experience on how long it takes so that the uploaded lists get processed? google just says “serveral weeks”.
