Do Not Throw Away Your Time And Effort Submitting To Free For All Sites

by Robert Keating


Free for all sites really should be extinct, nevertheless, you can still see them everywhere. In the event that any of you are oblivious I will describe what a free for all site is. This is a website were you can post a 1 line ad with a backlink to your website. In the beginning it was a simple way to build links to your website and also you could get it done quickly. Now, making use of these types of sites in order to construct links can end up having your site banned from the search engines. In this post we will be discussing why this is such a bad idea and why you need to avoid it.

I know a few of you remain tempted to post on these sites. The particular temptation will there be and I do understand. This can be so tempting due to the fact that by submitting only once you can end up getting your links on thousands of websites. The site you post to is not alone, as typically these sites are in a larger network containing a huge number of sites. People never really seem to understand how pointless it is to post on these sites. So not only will you not really be doing a bit of good for your web page you could really be doing more harm.

Once the major search engines learn that your site just made 1,000 links in just a matter of minutes and that they are all from ffa sites, there is always the probability they will de-index your site. This is clearly not a natural way to be getting your backlinks. And because of this Google and also the other major search engines frown on receiving links like that.

Another thing you should understand is that when you post your ad and link it is published on loads of websites. Now each individual who owns one of these websites gets your email address once you post and whether you knew it or not you actually gave them authorization to email you. And once thousands of individuals have your email address they're able to actually email you anytime they desire. Meaning that very quickly your email mailbox could be loaded with junk every day. So if you look at it, the only benefit is going to the people that started up an ffa website in the first place.

There are plenty of different ways to build links the proper way, such as directory submission as well as article marketing that it's a wonder these ffa sites are still around. I understand the value of link building and that it must be done but when you don't want to get in trouble you'll want to stay away from these Internet websites.

Just another thing you ought to be aware of is to also avoid link farms. Link farms are generally just as bad for your website as ffa Internet sites. This is generally taking a group of websites and having all of the websites pointing to all the other websites inside the group as well as to your main website. It was a common technique about a year ago however Google figured it out and also ended up penalizing website communities like this.

In short keep web design stratford things on the up and up and also stay on Google's good side and avoid ffa's and link farms.
