So if you want organic search traffic FROM GOOGLE, you have to meet GOOGLE GUIDELINES, it is as simple as that.  |
no no no no & NO! Google guidelines don't matter. if they like the site they are linking to they allow the link to stay, if the site is not up to THEIR standards, then the site link goes. It has NOTHING to do with google.
Google guidelines are quality guidelines, the site I mention was built BEFORE google existed ! So how could it POSSIBLY have been built to satisfy Google?
Search engines wnat the same as people. good sites, with pleanty of good information delivered in digestible chunks, that is easy to find from anywhere within the site. Google guidelines have NOTHING to do with the quality of the site. Outbound linking is decided PURELY on one question " does linking to this site enhance my user experience?". period!
You summed up something in your statement though 'they will have to watch as spammers will start dumping links" EXACTLY! and watch they do, and edit they do. which is probably why it ranks so well and has done from day 1.
Build sites for people and by and large the search engines will love em as well.
