Toilet Paper Coupons

01-18-2013

I ran across a pretty funny example. I think this site likely paid some big money for high pagerank links from an SEO firm. They have a pagerank 6 site as a result of blog commenting on high PR do follow blogs, yet they don't rank for Toilet Paper Coupons.

And this is why in a year or two you are going to be glad you ran a quality directory, because this crap doesn't work!

And here is a spreadsheet showing you the so called "white hat high PR links" that people are trying to sell

While I agree with you about being careful, looking at the toilet paper example, the problem is a complete and utter lack of anchor text diversification. Not so much where the links are coming from.
You can see at ahrefs here why the are ranking around 150 for toilet paper coupons. Well over 90% of the IBLs are all one phrase.

The links have dropped and so has the page rank. 4 is still respectable. Shows to me that Google Page Rank can be fooled and is a faulty indicator. There are many directories with high P/R that sell products such as non-prescription Viagra, and have spammy links in the wrong categories.

Google does not appear to discriminate between the good and bad, hopefully in the long term they will. White hat is a long term strategy.
