I wonder does google have different value for links that are on pages with good ranking compared to that one that are on pages with no ranking.

“A normal blog post has links added at the point of publishing – they don’t have keyword rich links added 6 months down the line.”

What would you suggest Patrick, about the link that TechCrunch gave to MediaWhiz and inLinks??

Well it can be easily detected by Google comparing the post data of today and six months earlier to check if any changes has actually occurred? But the point here is what about the new pages that are coming everyday like the TC…they are editorial links, but they still pass PageRank. You might compare them with anchor text links, but any kind of link from sites like TechCruch and Engadget is a jewel. Isn’t it?

Thoughts?

Oh, I don’t know, a link with targeted anchor text suddenly appearing on post from 2 years ago looks pretty natural…Not.

Maybe Google’s algorithm should flag up sites that add new external links anything more than a few weeks after the original publish date. These pages could then be hand reviewed by Google’s human editors.

It would be easy for Google to lower the value of any link, but this might not be the best option for them. Which links are 100% trustful so they won’t lower their value ?

You hit the nail on the head here Patrick. I can see a lot of bloggers shooting themselves in the foot with this one. If adding links to an old post 4-6 months down the line isn’t a massive footprint, I don’t know what is.

Hey Patrick – Not sure what you mean by “Of course it was just scraper sites purely made for selling text links.”. Does this mean that it wasn’t Engadget and Gizmodo?

and if this is the same inLinks that has been available on TLA for some time, its a plugin that is named something like tla-randomnumber.php, since most wordpress installations have that open to the public, its not hard for google to find it
