Nowadays all search engines are making so much noise against Paid hyperlinks, Reciprocal Linking and so on, crying that all hyperlinks should be done organically and webmasters should not try to boost their rankings artificially. that really made me wonder how many “organic” urls you can get without bothering to do any “artificial” boosts.
It is a fact that 95% of all World Wide Web users don’t have a loner clue of HTML and whether they don’t use any CMS to blog or manage their composition they won’t be able to put the original <a href="http://www.SEOnewsblog.com">SEO News</a> html cipher and most of them will simply write www.SEOnewsblog.com or just SEOnewsblog.com . We don’t even have to mention the fact that whether that link has plus TITLE element, soon after its most probably (99.99%) made by a friend webmaster or in some sort of “artificial” campaign. that leads to the question whether Search Engines are smart decent to realize and count the plain text hyperlinks with greater value than html hyperlinks since they seem quite more organic.
I’digged up some input from Yahoo site explorer and Google’s Webmasters Tools and I sow that there is no text mentioned link that is counted, but I’m not really certain whether that is not a way to hide the true value of those hyperlinks. That made me do one very simple experiment and check out what happens.
I made a sort new website (only few pages) and put a plain text link (no html) on one of my large websites so that it will be indexed quickly. I plus didn’t tell anybody about that experiment so that nobody will link to me and get that website indexed.
After few days I’ve noticed that the website was visited by Google and Yahoo and that made me pretty certain that those spiders knew that I existed somehow and most probably that was by mentioning my website in plain text. that led me to the notion that those urls are indeed with some value to Search Engines, but I’m still not certain precisely how much.
Now the thing that I’m experimenting on is to put numerous text urls on different pages, blogs and comments to see whether that is going to boost my website’s ranking in some relatively competitive area.
The problem that I got is that I’m not certain how search engines will treat my hyperlinks as there are no keywords attached and whether they show some value they must be able to “sense” the topic of that specific page that is linking to me. Indeed search engines are capable of doing that and knowing what’s what since they are “smart enough” to reduction non-relevant hyperlinks, and therefore whether you know what’s non relevant soon after it is fairly simple to get the view what’s relevant on that topic.
Now I’m looking for volunteers to help me spread the word by placing some text urls to my website www.venetsian.com in SEO related pages. I’m targeting SEO related keywords like SEO services, SEO expert, website SEO, SEO developer and etc, so whether you want to help out just place my website url. PLEASE DO NOT USE HTML! Just regular text is fine!
If you wish to participate, please send me e mail to venetsian at venetsian.com and I’ll give you some hyperlinks in return from other websites that I own.
Cheers and thank you.
Venetsian.
