High time to reconsider your linking strategy

[marketraise]

Link building has many procedures.You either do directory submissions or forum/article postings to get the link for your signature,you try social book marking or link exchanges.With the last update for PR and backlinks that Google made in February it has made it clear that any link pages containing the term "link" or any alpha numeric characters such as 1.html in their url will not be crawled or cached.So for analysts,web-masters who are looking to have their backlinks increased through reciprocal links better don't upload your page/pages as links.html solely for the reason Google will not crawl it.

Rather something like partner or resource will be better.

Wonder when they're going to block partners.html, business-partners.html I'm pretty sure that's next.

What I like to do is have my links on a normal page. Split them up across various pages and not jsut have all my links on one page...

Not sure if it works but it makes sense to me.
Didn't know that abou 1.html...

thanks

Do you have any proof of this?

So according to your views what one should do?

How can we believe that, I didn't see this type of update or news from Google, where it said that it will not crawl all type of pages which have link or numeric character 1 in their permalink. No doubt Google can ban you if he finds that you are purchasing or exchanging links with other domains.
