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

[smb]

Now I do realise that having spammy links on my websites is not good for my own search engine rankings either.

 

'Only difference is that

 

A ) I haven't got the time for this

 

and

 

B ) I don't really care about how the various search engines decide to rank any of my sites. I only do this as a hobby and I gave up ever even trying to break-even with my expenses a long time ago!

And why should Google consider that a link on ArtFreaks.com to another website for artists should be bad?

 

Well, only Google can answer that but I am guessing that it's because they don't really like forums-based sites and, maybe, they also think that  ArtFreaks.com is crap?!

 

What website owners want these days are relevant "quality links" from "quality websites."

 

I am sorry if the major search engines don't consider ArtFreaks.com as a quality website but if other crap sites have been posting their crap links here - and now they want them removed - well that is their problem, not mine!

Well... That was back in 2005, when I started this topic!!!

...And how things have moved on now!!

In 2018, search engines actually work - and now we just take them for granted!!
