Another sneaky way to get some backlinks.
Today i have received an interesting email. This guy was telling me that he linked back to me from his website and he would appreciate a link back to one of his newer sites he is trying to kickstart. Fair enough i thought… I clicked on the link he provided. I ended up on this PR5 website. It looked like a genuine website with high Alexa rank, plenty of backlinks and lots of content. After a little search i did indeed find a link back to my website in this PR5 section.
Suddenly something has caught my eye. The actual submission containing some information about one of my websites and the backlink itself has been submitted just over 5 months ago. It all became clear to me. Have you heard about this sneaky way of acquiring backlinks?
Its quite simple. You find a website you want a backlink from. You then do a bit of research and find a bunch of existing backlinks pointing back to that website. You then send an email to that webmaster and pretend that the website with the backlink belongs to you and that it was you who put it there. You then kindly ask him to link back to one of your new projects you need help with. Now you just wait for reply and hope that the webmaster you have contacted is a generous dumbass.
=================================
New internet marketing information emphasizes strongly upon the importance of proper domain hosting and reputable web hosting services if internet phones are to be incorporated into the site. It is not necessary that the best web hosting should be employed. Even when deciding upon the web site design, professionals with web design degree should be preferred.

Never happened to me but I would not think of that in a 1000 years. It will work probably until someone will report him.
