I pay $89 per month for sitewide links coming from a site/forum/reading area that are dead on match for relevancy. The count is up to about 33,000 IBL's from this site now.
They must have been hit by the paid advertising penalty since they were reduced fro PR6 index page and a few PR5's - then tons of PR4 & 3's. This went on for about a year and finaly the got slapped down to PR3, a ton of PR2's and another ton of PR0 links. They happily plug away with their paid links scheme - still inviting on from the index page - leading to a full expalantion of prices for various links packages.
I only pay for advertising but enjoyed a lot of link juice from the old method. Now that has ried up and my SERPs are steadily, precipitously fall behind.
Can using their paid "advertising" (produces no visitors) be harming me now in light of Google changes?
I see that you can't read the source code to clearly anymore and there'sots of stuff added tha wasn't there anymore.
The say they have switched to this site for their
PR or link handling (not sure) it's this site that writes the links now
Dynamic Drive DHTML(dynamic html) & JavaScript code library
The ad site is:
FightingArts.com Forums: Viewing list of forums (a former PR4 page 1 year ago)
Can anyone clue me in as to whether I could use my $1080 per year in a better way? Please delete Mods, if I have given to much information or something that is "out of line". I couldn't thik of anywhere else that would let me post a link and let
SEO experts have a peek. I use the "Action Ads" on the right side fo the pages, if that helps!
Thanks!
