Business Opportunities

There are a number of techniques that webmasters have used over the years to try an outsmart Google. Today, many of these will get you banned, or at best penalized, so that your sites don't rank well, and consequently don't get the traffic you need.

Make Money Online 1. Spam technique 1 - Sneaky redirects

Along with a domain's age, the history of a domain is relevant too. If a domain was previously used for spamming, it may be on spam domain blacklists. Email from that domain may be blocked from its recipients. Domains that had sites with black hat (unethical) SEO techniques may be banned from search engines.

Internet Business Opportunity Have you ever clicked on a search result in Google, but the URL you end up at is not the one listed in Google's results? = SNEAKY REDIRECT.
Similarly, if you click on a link on a website and it takes you to a URL that is not the one referenced by the link = SNEAKY REDIRECT.

Whatever the reason, the decrease in came to a halt in September 2006; by the end of November, spam accounted for nearly 80% of all email traffic. By this time, language spam offering legal counsel and auditing services on the Russian Internet was appearing more frequently and accounted for 4% of all spam during the final quarter of 2006. Sad though it may seem, even Russian lawyers appear to have ignored the new amendment banning this type of advertising.

Free Money Not all redirects are sneaky. Some are there for good reason and don't try to deceive your visitors. Examples of this might include using your .htaccess file to redirect to affiliate links. This technique is widely used to hide affiliate links from visitors, or make URLs shorter and easier to remember. I doubt Google would include this as a sneaky redirect. Another safe type of redirect is a 301 redirect typically used to move a site from one domain to another.

Work At Home Business If your redirect is not there to deceive your visitor, then it is probably OK.

Published by IEEE Security & Privacy The most rapidly growing spam category, stock spam, is a modern twist of the classic "pump and dump" securities scam in which unscrupulous characters manipulate a security's price by using various advertising techniques to create artificial demand for it, thus inflating price. By targeting thinly traded securities on unregulated markets, stock spammers can almost guarantee a flash mob attracted by the spam will increase the per share price. spam solutions deploy to stop them.

Auction Coin Money Paper This technique is a form of cloaking. On clicking a link in Google's search results, the page you are taken to has the URL of the page you expect, but a frame is used to show the contents of a completely different page.

Franchise Business Opportunity The result is that Google's spider indexes and ranks the original page, but the page shown to visitors is a different one.

Best Free Online Affiliate This is considered spam.

Blogging Money Thebillivard 3. Spam technique 3 - Hidden Text / Hidden Links

Best Home Based Business Invisible text is easily done. Create the text or links in the same colour as the background colour. To the visitor, that text is invisible. To the search engine spiders that see only the raw HTML, they are there.

Affiliate Marketing Program Often these can be spotted when you visit a web page by using the keyboard combination CTRL + A. This selects all text on the page, and hidden text can then be seen as they are highlighted by the browser.

Money Site Thebillivard Com Another form of hiding links is to hyperlink to a page using punctuation. e.g. linking a "." to a webpage. Its not invisible, but it is an attempt to hide a link from the visitor.

Online Business Opportunity Another form of link hiding that I have seen is to have a phrase hyperlinked to several different documents. To the visitor, the hyperlink looks like a normal link, but move your mouse cursor along the link and you will see the address in the status bar at the bottom of your browser change to reveal different URLs for different parts of the phrase.

Cnn Money A technique often used by webmasters is to buy old domains with existing PR and backlinks and using that PR to get ranked well for an unrelated topic.

Affiliate Program Directory 5. Spam technique 5 - Secondary Search Results / PPC

Making Money Program These are pages set up purely to collect PPC revenue without providing much relevant content of their own. A range of tools for scraping search engine results are available, but they will get you into trouble. For those still arguing that these tools do work, you are in the minority.

Work From Home Business In a "leaked report" thought to originate from Google, the report also mentions sites that have directories setup to include DMOZ listings. However, it only specifies that these should be penalised if they contain PPC advertising e.g. Adsense. Those setup without Adsense are obviously providing the visitors with a service and should be ignored (links to relevant sites in your directory is value added for your visitor).

Internet Marketing Affiliate Think about the motives for setting up a directory like this. Is it for revenue, or for visitors? If the former, Google want it marked as spam. If it is the latter, you are OK for now.

6. Spam technique 6 - Thin Affiliate Doorway pages

Internet Home Business Google considers affiliate pages that don't provide useful content to the visitor as spam. e.g. a page setup purely for ushering visitors to an affiliate program is considered spam, if that page does not provide the visitor with useful information or a useful service.

Credit Card Affiliate Program Pages that add value, and are useful to the visitors even if the affiliate links were removed are OK.

Unclaimed Money What this means is that you need to provide interesting, unique content on your pages. Create a page that will really interest your visitor, and then affiliate links are OK.

Mlm Business Opportunity Again, ask yourself this question.

Work At Home Based Business "Would this site remain a coherent whole if the pages leading to the affiliate were taken away?"
