excellent post Gremlin.
The idea of how you build a link network(farm/dump)system is crucial to success is SEO.
A couple methods in this regard I have wanted to try when I get some time.
--- The 1st is a quick, dirty, temporary method just to make a few bucks
Parasite(proxy) hosting. Okay the idea is to use xrummer or an outsourced version to dump a huge volume of links at say a digg or linked in page that points to my money page.
This still works, given the serps results for stuff like online pharmacy, etc...
SPAM LINKS>>>PARASITE PAGE>>>>>MONEY PAGE
This works sporadically for the most competitively words on the interwebs. The reason it only works sporadically is because of hand editing on the serps pages for the most competitive stuff.
But on words that are not at the top level ( ie.no serp hand editing) this method should kill.
I am building an experiment to prove this.
--The 2nd method is one that Blue Hat Seo proposes which is more like a pyramid than a wheel.
"the idea of upward linking.
The deeper you build your SEO Empire’s base the wider it becomes via more and more autogeneration.
Kind of like the roots on a tree trying to reach as much nutrients as possible. So understand that while your hosted blackhat sites make money they inherently have a lower conversion rate and income potential than your higher up sites such as your database sites.
Therefore if you use the hosted blackhat sites to push links to your basement and database sites where you can achieve higher rankings and more profitable affiliate programs your income potential becomes much higher in the end.
The same thing holds true all the way up the building.
Your database sites are going to provide huge amounts of link volume, and with help of your hosted blackhat sites, link quality to the sites higher up.
The higher up you go on the building the higher quality of neighbors you’re working with which means more ranking potential with competitive terms and more earning potential with your choice of monetenization.
So on your next link building campaign try thinking in terms of upward linking"
