Well as we are all looking for links you might thing about jumping on the “Pay Per Post” band wagon. As we know all links are good links (some better than others) and what they write about you is not relavant because Search Engines dont have a way to tell if its a bad review or good review(yet).

So to do some research on this i went over to PayPerPost.com (not going to give them a link) and opened an account ($50 min) and created a ad to be posted. That was 3 days ago and it still has not been aproved as of the writing of this post. I also opened an account as a bloger to see what they pay out and how hard it is to get paid and to get the work. The bloger account is not active yet either.

So here is what i found:

Ad opportunities can have and set requirements like a minimum Pagerank that your blog has to meet. Also they may have an alexa requirement. Ads can set the level of these and they do. Currently there are on 155 Ad opportunities available and not many of them are available to a PR 3 blog. The minimum that you are going to pay for a post with a link is $5 plus the PayPerPost fee. For $50 that means you are going to get 6 post with about $4.50 left over in your account. I wounder what happens to that left over money?компютриSo what so bad about this? I don’t think it is the end of blog credability but I think its just a passing fad. Look you can go to Google Blog Search and search for relevent blogs to your subject and write a comment on 10 blogs an hour and get those links for free. Why pay for them.So the Short Bus SEO rule is don’t pay for what you can get for free.

Jim Boykin Just put up a new post on Internal link structure and gave some very good tips as to how it works. To include the use of the nofollow tag to pages that are not as important to your site such as the “Copyright” page or the “About” page. Even though Page Rank is not as important as it use to be this is a must read for those of us that don’t understand Page Ranks use.

If you want to know how link bait works Go and check out this post on Jim Boykin’s Blog.
This is a classic way to generate links he just got one from me.

Now this brings up a good point in that when your new to SEO and your reading the blogs they don’t always come right out and say “Step 1. Click here. Step 2 Type this in” You have to look at what is being done as well as what is being said.
