increase blog traffic

When I was commenting on other blogs (as usual), I read an interesting tip on Blog SEO. Although this is something really simple, your blog will be penalized when you ignore this.

(I’m sorry for forgetting the blog that provide me this great realization. If you are the guy who blog about this, please let me know alright?)

This simple technique is “Avoid having more than 100 links on each page.”

Some years back, Internet Marketers realized the power of Backlinks and how can backlinks help them in ranking. Some of the decided to use White Hat SEO techniques and some of them went for Black Hat SEO techniques. Some of them take 2 Hats and combine them into gray hat (LOL! Just kidding).

Link farm is one of the Black Hat SEO techniques. There are many kinds of link farm strategies. Some internet marketers built many websites with only a few pages. These pages contain no content besides links to other websites. If you have 50 Link Farm sites, you can have 50 backlinks to your website. What if you have hundreds of such websites and you use all of them to create backlinks for 50 websites you want to rank on the first page?

This was a fast ranking strategy by Black Hat SEOer until Google notice it. Google penalize webpages which has more than 100 links. If you have 100 links that link to other places, you are very likely to get penalized. Of course, the system that is created by Google is more complicated than that. They are able to catch link farms which have less than 100 links too.

I used to be the one who creates Link farm too. I was young and I know nothing about Black Hat at that time. My blog was penalized for months and all those links are neither helpful to others nor myself. So, the bottom line is:

Avoid having more than 100 links on one page!
