What's Angela/Paul link profile?

[nojan]

Hi,

Very new to this and appreciate your time to read and answer my question.

What's Angela/Paul link profile? and what should I look out for if someone is offering to provide this type of link building to me?

[RyanKent]

Can you share any context for your question? It does not make any sense on its own.

[nojan]

Ok, someone offered to do some link building for me and when I asked how you would get the links, his answer was, "Angela paul type profile link and social bookmarking work".

[RyanKent]

I would urge extreme caution at having anyone else "build" links to your site. Many sites have been penalized for manipulative links. I suspect more sites will be penalized in the future.

I suspect "Angela paul" is either a misspelling or misunderstood phrase. There are many companies offering cheap link building services out of India, the Phillipines and other countries. Most of those services run in violation of search engine standards and you run a strong risk of being penalized.

Thanks Ryan, I appreciate it

If you search for Angela Paul backlinks you'll find info about a backlink building service. It's not usually of the type often recommended on the SEOmoz forums, but a search will tell you a little more about it.

Given that you're new to everything, I'd suggest reading through the Beginner's Guide to SEO at http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo, especially the sections on links, and read blog posts here as well. It'll help give you an idea of what works and what are cheap shortcuts that may bite you.

Thanks Keri, I've reading a bit about and getting confusing messages. Some swear by its effectiveness and some say that it passes on a lot of spammy links.

I guess what I need is to read a lot more and keep asking questions from experts like you.

Cheers

If you're looking on forums for opinions, you'll likely find that the opinions vary depending on the forum and the type of people that frequent each forum. I don't use Warrior Forum myself, but the people that go to that forum generally have a different viewpoint than the people who go to the SEOmoz forum. Around SEOmoz, some of those types of link building tactics might get you the same type of response that a sales rep for Omaha Steaks might get at a vegan supermarket.

To think some people ask me why I spend so much time in the Q&A. I just need to bookmark Keri's response and that about says it all!

I am not sure if Angela Paul LInks today will still do any good for keyword SERP. I've tried them once way back 2010 but I bet the links really dont give any value, well they give value but not that much. Few are even just spam links.

Yes, it offered on Warrior Forum, someone name Tom Brite offer a package and will give you a hint on how to get angel paul links.

But i recommend SeoLinkVine instead.

[JordanGodbey]

SEO Link Vine looks like a blog link network similar to Build My Rank.

They advertise "How to get hundreds of thousands of high quality one-way links, taking your Google ranking from wherever it currently is, straight to page 1 over time."

And talk a lot about automation... free content.. etc. Install a piece of code and you're done.

Doesn't seem like something Google would recommend.

[SkyHigh81]

Yes, thats the downside of SEO Link Vine. They helped my keywords rank on first page but nevertheless, I was also worried about their automation service.

[KeriMorgret]

Their site talks about how they rely on content spinners. My question to you:

In three months, do you want to go to the trouble of tracking down sites linking to you with content that reads "think before you beverage" and "thank my deity" and ask them to remove the links?

There is no free lunch. There is no free content or endless quality free links. It's your choice, but I'd rather not have links than be a part of that network. I care too much about the reputation of my brand online to have stuff like that pointing to me.

[SkyHigh81]

I'm with you...

If it's about branding then it's no use using SEO Link Vine.

However, if its just about links? then maybe SEO Link Vine can be considered, but with the questions you thrown about content that reads "think before you beverage"ra ra ra..., then SEO Link Vine couldn't be of a big help.
