   Can’t believe this !! A person who has 2000 backlinks did not want backlinks which are absolutely free.

2. By stew on Nov 25, 2009

   Maybe he is a fake or concorrent?!

3. By Nakliyat on Nov 25, 2009

   Very funny:)

4. By Techadictos.com on Nov 25, 2009

   Lol, he is definitely crazy :D

   PD. Your blog is amazing, iam a suscribir email, but i dont speak much english.

   Greatings!

   That’s gotta be the best comment of all times. Too funny! Yes, Mr. Murdoch, too many backlinks are a bad thing. haha

6. By marcus@how to make money on Nov 25, 2009

   Either this person knows a lot about back linking then the rest of us…or he knows nothing about the importance of back linking. I am not sure which. Could you possibly email him back and ask him why he does not want the 2000 free backlinks?

7. By Fatin Pauzi on Nov 25, 2009

   Hye, Ades.
   If he/she didn’t like the backlinks, just change it to mine. Haha. This is the first time I heard about this. Very funny or he/she has his/her reason to do that?

8. By ikat on Nov 25, 2009

   This is funny. LOL. This man might be afraid to google. Doesn’t he know that the more link the better?

9. By Used Tires on Nov 25, 2009

   That certainly is a first… is it possible that it is a fake email of someone trying to get someone else’s name banned?

   Till then,

    One has to chuckle at this naive mail. If the links was from a spammy source I would understand, but Ades’ Blog has a great reputation overall. Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth!

11. By The Guru on Nov 25, 2009

    That’s weird. While all the people loves backlink but this guy has different idea. Maybe just change his name to my name as top commentator :D

12. By GDI Blog on Nov 25, 2009

    maybe he/she is afraid of sandbox :)

13. By Positron on Nov 25, 2009

    LOL He thinks that backlinks are badlinks? :)

14. By Legitimate work at home jobs on Nov 25, 2009

    Hmmmmm, Its really make me crazy, why he want to remove backlink from your blog?

15. By fences on Nov 26, 2009

    Yah, bing just released guidelines saying not to get a ton of links really fast like that. Which is stupid in my opinion because if they penalize a site for that, that means that competitors can do that to each other to hurt the others site performance. Which should never be a part of any serp’s algorithm.

16. By 2D 3D Animation India on Nov 26, 2009

    who is this man??? i heard it first time in my life that someone is complaining about getting back links :)

17. By Bali Accommodation on Nov 26, 2009

    like stew said, maybe he is fake or he afraid to get Google Sandbox. But it’s still funny for me

18. By Magazin on Nov 26, 2009

    Lol, he is definitely crazy :D

19. By tunepal on Nov 26, 2009

    erk..weird guy..

20. By SeoKid on Nov 26, 2009

    Maybe is this the reason: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/11/hard-facts-about-comment-spam.html ? (Abusing comment fields of blog sites is a risky way of getting links to your site)

21. By iPod on Nov 27, 2009

    I don’t think he/she is being silly at all. Although Google demerits the authority from sitewide links (2000 links from the same domain will be treated as a single link by Google), the other search engines are not so clever. Getting 2000 links in one day from the same domain could cause problems for a new site, and perhaps he has recently lost some rankings and is trying to fix the problem?

22. By La Digue on Nov 27, 2009

    Hahahahahaha!!! Really hilarious post. Really, some people do hate backlinks! It’s one of the best articloes I’ve seen so far today!

23. By Mauritius Resto on Nov 27, 2009

    Somebody who hates backlinks must surely be from some other some alien planet in the Universe!

24. By Techadictos on Nov 28, 2009

    @SeoKid that means I have to settle the matter? google what is doing? just recommended me?

25. By abrablog on Nov 28, 2009

    haha..that kind of people still exist? haiya..

26. By mini laptop on Nov 28, 2009

    Abdes, it is true. Some people don’t like because they fear this can hurt their rankings. While top commenting widget can help, but we are not sure if they can give us rankings or get us ban for quick links.

    So many are skeptical and do this. It is good that you have responded to that person and removed the links.

27. By Valencia on Nov 28, 2009

    Hi!
    its me who wrote that mail to Ades!
    I know all about importance of backlinks, i have some knowlegde of SEO,
    page that had all those links was droped from top page in google, because in one week link count from 50 went to over 2000 so, when i Tried rank for that keyword i had 50 links from lot of pages with my keywords in anchortext, but then there is 2000 links with not my keyword so google didnt likeed that.
    So this is my experience with link from blog top commentators plugin,
    its not bad, i use it for other websites, but im not going to use with pages that i want rank for specific keywords, tho i was in top 1 in yahoo ;)
    so you all still think that im from Other planet!?!
    But now im back in rankings ;)

28. By Naz on Nov 28, 2009

    Wow. Thanks for your explanation Valencia. I need to learn more about SEO. Thanks to you too Ades for making this post. Awesome! =)

29. By Techadictos on Nov 28, 2009

    i know a lot of web dont have backlink if he keyword and they are in the top and have hight traffic.

30. By Minnesota Attorney on Nov 29, 2009

    I’m surprised about this misconception that backlinks could somehow hurt your website. If that were true, you could hurt your competitor’s websites by creating “bad backlinks” to them.

31. By clickonpost on Nov 29, 2009

    I know him, he know what he do..

32. By Techadictos on Nov 30, 2009

    So, i just need to “create” a backling of my competition to harm him? LOL

33. By earnword on Nov 30, 2009

    might be have a reason to do that. HOho..

34. By Legitimate work at home jobs on Nov 30, 2009

    I think he feared by seeing lost of backlink from your blog. I also see lots of backlink from your blog.

35. By mini laptop on Nov 30, 2009

    @Valencia,
    Its great that you replied to this post. I am also a webmaster and SEO. You are skeptical as your link count shot from 50 to 2000 in just a week or so. To be frank Google is aware of this. Google knows that these links are from top commenter widget and from the same place in the same website. So they will devalue them and credit you accordingly.
    You pointed out that Google does’t valued it. I have a different thought on this. G will not matter this and rank accordingly. You also said that you r ranking was gained once Ades removed the links. This is also not that much valid.
    While rankings can change from time to time. This fact can not change rankings this much!!!
    These are my thoughts. Guys, any thoughts further on this?

36. By valencia on Nov 30, 2009

    @mini laptop,
    Hi, thnx for reply.
    I work with more pages that are similar, and i usually track where i put links and how its effecting my ranking, and when my rankings changed, all i did was this blog commenting, there was some other cases when i did things that google didn’t liked, and after removing bad links, next time G indexed those links page was back. But one page for one keyword is out already for few months, and i don’t know what i did wrong :D and i didn’t wanted wait and see that this will affect my rankings for a longterm, and i just wrote mail to ades.
    Thnx for sharing your experience!

37. By mini laptop on Nov 30, 2009

    @valencia: Yes, it is really annoying. Sometime we will not know what G thinks. It is good that Ades is active in his blog and removed his links. Some blog owner check their admin panel once in a month. And in that case we are screwed :)

38. By valencia on Nov 30, 2009

    @mini laptop,
    it looks that you have a some god knowledge of seo, maybe you want share your top 5 things you do for seo?
    it would be interesting for me what other people do not just read what should be done!

39. By mini laptop on Nov 30, 2009

    @valencia: Thanks for your compliment. These are the top things that I do for websites. They are based on the flow in which I start my SEO work.

    1) I will prepare contents and upload the website.
    2) I will write some interesting articles and post it in article website. Mainly I post it in ezinearticles.
    3) Do some social bookmarking.

    After the above three steps the website will get cached for sure. Now here is the toughest part. Link building.

    > I will do some dofollow high PR commenting on some reputed forums.(Also do some low PR relevant blog commenting simultaneously)
    > Now directory submission and profile link building.
    > Meanwhile update the content and submit few more articles.

    By this time the website should get good serps. If not continue the above process untill you get results. There is no stopping to this!

    But sometimes we never know what is happening. We just need to experiment and see :(

    Above technique works well for websites and for blog it is little different. I request you to go through this post -> http://www.adesblog.com/2009/11/30/edward-khoo-on-bloggers-block/#comment-125648

    Thanks again and all the best for your project!
    David

40. By valencia on Nov 30, 2009

    @mini laptop
    Thnx for sharing this, yes its a grate plan, my is a little bit different. And how you do social bookmarking? what the best sites, that get indexed fast and is worth to submit? again just your experience and thoughts?

    ;)

    Eduard

41. By mini laptop on Nov 30, 2009

    Hi Eduard,

    Regarding your query for social bookmarking -> I have one great suggestion on this. Prepare a document about your website and upload with your link in scribd.com

    I bet you will get indexed in less than 20 minutes with the above idea. Sometimes I got indexed in less than 4 minutes.

    Some other great social bookmarking websites are folkd.com, digg.com, mixx.com.

    Hope that helps you. I fear Ades, might think that we are bumping this post now :) Is it Ades :) ????!

42. By jam@PS3 Modern Warfare 2 on Dec 1, 2009

    I think he has great knowledge about backlinks or free 2000 backlinks is not a big thing for him.

43. By GDI Blog on Dec 1, 2009

    i thing its all about sandbox. and maybe he/she dont know the value of backlinks :)

44. By valencia on Dec 1, 2009

    @GDI Blog
    take a look at comments, i explained there.

45. By Laptop Briefcases on Dec 2, 2009

    Lol that is a funny e-mail. He obviously has no clue about how backlinks help. Of course there is also the possibility that some competitor faked this e-mail. Or maybe he’s just super paranoid after reading someone say that Google doesn’t like sitewide links.

46. By Minnesota Attorney on Dec 2, 2009

    Again, if backlinks could be “bad,” then a company could use a “bad backlinks” campaign to hurt a competitor’s website rankings in Google. I’ve never seen any evidence that Google would allow that.

47. By Turning Winds on Dec 2, 2009

    What he/she is think of? Actually you can see on the e-mail itself how dumb he/she is. :)

48. By Lee Ka Hoong on Dec 3, 2009

    I can’t believe that there is people like this in blogopshere, in my area all the blogger fellow urge for backlinks. Perhaps this guy doesn’t like to improve the SEO for his blog though.

    Regards,
    Lee

49. By Legitimate work at home jobs on Dec 3, 2009

    May be his blog is is different theme, so he do not want to get backlink from your blog.

50. By living room furniture on Dec 3, 2009

    Is he thinking backlinks are not good? I don’t get him

51. By Book Rentals on Dec 5, 2009

    That is hilarious, who doesn’t want backlinks, guess it was too many links for him or maybe they mistyped the domain.

52. By cash back credit cards on Dec 5, 2009

    I can not believe this email…are you serious I know people that are paying money to get backlinks and this guy does not want them for free? Interesting…very very interesting. Maybe he just does not want them from your site…did you take it as an insult or what?

53. By Travel Abroad on Dec 5, 2009

    he is interested in backlinks :D

54. By MyDegree on Dec 5, 2009

    I don’t understand why that person don’t like backlinks. Maybe he need to learn more what is good thing about backlinks.

55. By Faydaliweb on Dec 5, 2009

    Backlinks are important but most important point is taking correct backlinks from correct sites.

56. By NBA on Dec 6, 2009

    That’s gotta be the best comment of all times. Too funny! i thing its all about sandbox. and maybe he/she dont know the value of backlinks :D

57. By Ades on Dec 12, 2009

    @valencia, some of the comments were too harsh, i apologize for that.

58. By ferforje on Dec 14, 2009

    i heard getting too many backlink from a website is not usefull for SEO.Because of that people started to buy articles from blogs.
    ?f the site is new may be he had scared about Sandbox.

59. By DoFollow Blog List on Dec 16, 2009

    I’m just glad to know you were willing to take Valencia off when they asked. It’s his/her blog to do with as they want and it doesn’t really matter what anyone else thinks so long as the two worked it out.

    Dwippy

60. By SEO Ranking on Dec 18, 2009

    Thanks Valencia, David and Ades, this is very interesting, I have a few sites that rank well for my name but not my keyword because I used to sign with my name, so 2000 links with the wrong keyword could harm your ranking.

61. By Tampa Real Estate on Dec 21, 2009

    I first time read this type of message, don’t like free backlinks. I can’t understand what’s problem for that.

62. By Sell Property Fast on Feb 2, 2010

    I have first time seen such kind of people who really not loves back links, actually google is really so smart as it can track anyone’s backlink source, so at one point this should be.
