I confess that I am no brain surgeon, so do not be surprised that it took me so long to know that I've played for a sucker by the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) experts online. For years I have responded to their requests for link sharing with this or that particular company by installing conscientiously the link called on my links .html page and to send them a link to be pasted to the page-condition-for-same receptor site. I never bothered to verify if it is actually done as described in the original email to the applicant. More fool I!
Because you know what, gentle reader, it was very certainly not as advertised. This which finally resulted in this Epiphany on my part were some recent requests ostensibly by Web sites in my sector of activity with page rankings the equal or superior to my own. Fortunately, I have installed their URL on my page and sent the sites SEO requesting a link of my own. Then I am happily seated at the rear and hoped to see my page rank to climb.
I was surprised or disappointed when nothing happened because I am in a very competitive industry and page rank is important, it is in no way determinative. Still, I was curious to see what looked like and picked up my newly installed so-called links. Guess what?
You guessed it! They did not exist. Or, at least I could not find them. Therefore, please always believe the best of people, e-mail the two SEO sites that had requested the links and asked them to please point out where it could find my links. Several days passed before that I have essentially the same repeated message of the two sites: they were sorry, it took so long to get back to me and if I give them my link again once they would install on their SEO Web site.
Of course! Then it struck me. They never had the intention to move my link on the page of resources of the Web site of the reception! Whether true or not, there is a belief on the web that Google counts-off for both shared and outgoing links. By failing to provide me with a backlink, they had improved page rank customers against mine - at least that was their belief! Questioned as to the location of my promised backlinks, they rather graciously agreed to put my link on their page of resources on the Web SEO site. While I can't claim any special preview of the spirit of "The Great God Google" me is very difficult to believe that a link from a SEO site has positive weight and authority of a link to a site in my own industry. My research tends to indicate the result quite contrary! I e-mail people back and detailed SEO of my suspicions. They did not sentence answer.
I do not say that any specialist of referencing are guilty of this kind of deception. But I will suggest you, my readers, who may now be a good time to take a look all these sites that you have been fertilization. I hope that what happened to me was just an aberration.
