Google still allows massive link building in my country.

This is really messed up! I've been investigating this issue for almost a year now. I had discussion about this in SEOMoz before and people told me that my site was not optimized for SEO.

However, I've finally come to conclusion that massive back link building is still the best way to rank in Google Turkey. Many high PR content websites do not seem to get their unique content ranked here because some shitty website can be ranked on the top by using back links with targeted anchors for the keyword they want. I've spent a lot of money for content but no it does not get listed unless I provide back links for each article.

This does not happen in the US anymore. Google catches you for massive back link building and penalize you. SEOMoz authors suggest using social media more but it seems to have no effect whatsoever in Google Turkey. I really want to open a ticket for this in Google but don't know how to do it. Think about searching "urology" keyword in the US, would you see an informative website about urology or a site that contains a small article and wants to sell a bullshit product to you?

If anyone knows how I can contact Google regarding to this, please let me know.

Thanks.

In our country "massive" link building stopped being effective about 3-6 months ago. Of course, at some searches spammy sites still show up among the TOP results... which is something I can't explain up until today. Nevertheless, bulk link building doesn't seem to have any impact on new sites. It's equal to zero and in some cases it even has negative effects.

Well I am glad to hear that Dorothea.
