I only started getting into website and SEO since October.
I have few backlinks of my own but I noticed that I am getting some from somewhere that names doesn't even ring a bell.
Pros;
within few months my site is in the first page for a competitive keyword.
Cons;
?my site is only new...google might de-index me.
I am only doing white hat but I am starting to read about blackhat now. I don't want to dump them with backlinks because I might help them get higher ranking just like what they did to me.
Any advice? What will anyone do in my position?
When you say site. Do you mean your hub or your blog? What site is linking? Be aware of getting a lot of links to your site. I read last-night there is software used to add 100's of links to competitors to bring there rank down the serps tubes. Causing Google to penalize your site for unnatural links.
Actually it is my website.
I looked in my webmaster tools and suddenly i got 50+ new links.
I emailed google already that it's not me doing it.
Anyway, I'm still on first page so I guess what they are doing is actually helping me.
I have read about sending 100's of links and what is that software but I don't think I need it for now.

I was wondering if backlinking my sub domain will help me rank better in the search engines. I was thinking the more backlinks I have the more link juice would flow to my article? Or will backlinking my subdomain only help me rank for my name ie Nexusx2?

Hi Guys!I was wondering what tactics some of you use to gain natural backlinks to your hubs. I've read about using Yahoo Answers and am trying to find article directories that offer more than just spammy or unnatural links. I know writers like to keep things close to the vest if they work well, but...

This is how I understand backlinks. Linking to a webpage that links back to you is more valuable to SEO than not having it link back to you. The more removed this website is from your own the better. For example, linking from one of my hubs to a non-hubpages webpage is more...

Alright, this is a very basic question (yes, I know it is, but.....) I thought I understood this but the other night, someone told me that indexing has no affect on page ranking. He went as far as to say that he has purchased page ranking from Google, etc. I have not heard of...

Article for discussion. I know that this recent development has already been mentioned by some hubbers in forums. But I am now wondering if this might be the main reason why we are seeing the current traffic plunges for many hubbers? See link...

There is a lot of bad SEO (search engine optimization) advice out there, and the use of automated services that procure backlinks to your Hubs is one particularly egregious example. Using services to get backlinks can result in your Google AdSense and/or HubPages account permanently banned. Yes, we...
