Selling links that pass PageRank
Selling links that pass PageRank
I’ve talked quite a lot before about buying or selling links that pass PageRank. Today I wanted to walk through a concrete example of paid posts and show why the major search engines don’t want to be affected by links within paid posts. The problem is best illustrated by a serious example: suppose you just visited your doctor and got a scary surprise: you or a member of your family have a tumor. The doctor is throwing around words like steroids, surgery, chemo, and radiosurgery. Much of what the doctor says washes over you, but you remember the word “radiosurgery” and resolve to find out more when you get home.
Interesting, we all get worked up over paid links, yet we have no, for the most part, no problem with ads by drug companies telling us what prescriptions we need before we even know if we have the disease… Aaaah, irony. What would life be without it.
