Paid Links - Good or bad - a UK SEO perspective part IV

September 11th, 2007

Not really a part four, more a recap of other activity, and perspectives regarding the hot potato in th search engine world or rather SEO world that is paid links

John Andrews - SEOs the card counters of the web

Brilliant overview of Googles approach to the paid linkage issue. Aaron Wall features particularly prominently in the article given his recent comments regarding paid links

Dan Thies - I for one welcome the New SEO Overlords

Probably more rounded commentary of the current paid links issue, however all the same Dan puts forward some very pressing questions relating to the implementation of the nofollow strategy.

Loren Baker - Google loves transparent links and Hitcounter spam

Slightly different take, however really here to back up why perhaps focussing on quality of the links is probably more important than merely focussing on how they were acquired from Loren Baker

John Biundo - The Paid Links debate - Shades of Grey

John Biundo assesses the Paid links landscape following SES San Jose.

Andrew Girdwood (BigmouthMedia) - Why Paid links and adsense are not the same

BigMouthmedia are big nofollow masters, and Andrew Girdwood their head of search clearly lays his cards on the table regarding his thoughts on paid links and nofollow (oh and that of Bigmouthmedia)

There is no doubt the debate certainly continues to rumble on - as to the paid linkage and the merits or lack of. We will continue to watch the industry for further articles and as we find em add em (or feel free to add some for us )
