Search engines are CRAP! Link Sections - are you using them?

[smb]

Well, they are, aren't they?

 

I've been trying for days to find a website where you can check the site statistics for any website that you like. I KNOW such a site exists but, no matter which search engine I use and what keywords I enter, all I get is the same old free web-stats and other web tools sites coming up.

That is NOT what I want!!! :x :evil: :twisted: :x

I have a lead, and I have sent an e-mail. WHEN I eventually find that site that I am looking for, I'll put a link to them in my "Internet Links" section.

 

Meanwhile, you might like to take a look at this:

Bearing in mind that this topic was started 10 years ago, I would still say that my initial post was reasonable for the time.

 

Now, in 2015, I'll be the first to accept that search engine results have improved beyond all recognition in the last few years - to the point now where it is hard to imagine an internet without them.

 

The funny thing is that for years, so-called SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) companies were charging website owners a fortune for posting spammy links on forums sites like ArtFreaks.com - all in an attempt to increase the so-called "link popularity" of their customers websites.

 

One of the reasons why Google and other major search engines are so good these days, is because the algorthyms their computer programs use to give you relevant search results, now take into account what they call irrelevant back links. Basically, the shit that people have been posting on my sites for years!! So if Google sees a spammy link on one of my websites, it will give the site that it links to a lower ranking in their search results.

 

So now, the SEO companies that spent years spamming my sites are in a right mad scramble to get ME to remove the crap links that THEY posted in the first place!! :wacko:

 

Example:

Thanks in advance for your understanding.

 

 

And my reply:

 

 

I love this!

 

You people have been spamming my sites with your crap links for years - and now you want me to spend my time removing them for you??!!!
