·         Forums - The most common link building techniques using forums are to create a profile page and a signature link. Signature links allow links to be created at the bottom of posts or comments you leave in a forum. Signature links are at best very low quality and although they may send you some traffic are unlikely to have any long lasting impact on the pages you link to. This is because these links are not merit based, as is the case with all link spam methods, and it's accepted the search engines are getting better at ignoring these links and assigning them no value.


·         Link farms - These are employed by many link building companies. A link farm can often have a vast number of websites and web pages within it, all under the control of the link building company. By building a link farm link building companies are able to offer a set number of links for a set fee as they have plenty of web real estate on which to build the links. The problem with link farms is they can be discovered by the search engines and when they are, the links within them will cease to have any positive impact on the sites they link to. There are a number of variations on this theme including a technique where link building companies buy pages within legitimate websites in an attempt to appear credible.

·         Directories - These are useful and can create links carrying some value in the sense of attracting traffic to your website. But, in another sense, they are a form of spam; and, as with other spam techniques, links from directories are generally not merit based and as such rarely carry any weight in terms of helping to increase your ranking. There are, however, some notable exceptions such as the DMOZ directory and Yahoo.

·         Hubs - These are pages created on services such as Squidoo. In theory Squidoo hub pages or lenses as they are called by this particular service are a great idea and allow people to create pages about something they care about. Sadly the spammers have also realised it's an easy way to create pages for link building so it's a fair assumption using hubs such as this won't have any lasting or hugely positive impact on your website.

·         Blogs - Often referred to as SPLOGS (spam blogs) blogs are a favourite haunt of link spammers. They seek out blogs in the hope of leaving a comment and associated link to their client's website. Again these are not merit based unless the blog is actively managed by its owner and popular blog software such as Wordpress automatically nofollow links in comments anyway. This makes the links of little value other than the small amount of web traffic they can generate unless your comment is accepted on a high traffic popular blog.

·         Social bookmarks - In their early days social bookmarking sites may have been a source of valuable links but the link spammers have put an end to that. Most of the credible bookmarking sites (Digg, Sphinn etc) recognised their platforms were being abused by link spammers and as a result they nofollow links to deter them.

Top 10 small business ideas

2.      Creative Mindset: Great blog post always requires a great mood and Creative Mindset: creative mindset. Writing a routine blog post to increase your blog content without a creative-mood is definitely no!

4.     Reference: Keep ready the Online and Offline resources if any, for ready reference and linking (mention).

5.       Format: Your blog post heading which Format: remains in the “H1 tag” should be provocative enough to be clicked by the web surfers. Without a great heading your post can’t go viral in social media and blogosphere. Post heading is the visible part of SEO, which needs the attention of search engine users to be clicked.

6.      Reader Attention: Pen-down your article systematically with great flights of thought and uncensored mind. Be careful, your blog post should not be lengthy enough to trigger the attention span of the reader. Blog post with approximately 500 characters are considered good. On the contrary, if your post is less than 250 characters then your ranking will be suffered in the search engine for thin content.

7.      On-page SEO: Optimize your H1, H2, bold, italic and underline tags with a balanced ratio of keywords and content to squeeze out the maximum SEO juice to rank higher in the SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages). As, Meta keywords don’t play a big role in search engine algorithm these days, don’t invest much time for it. Focus on internal linking of your articles for better SEO and reader engagement. If required, never hesitate to link external sites for reference.

8.     Visual Delight: Support your article with few images (at least 1) to make it visually appealing and easy to understand for blog readers. Optimize your image for better SE ranking.

Check for spelling mistakes and grammar twice, before pressing the publish button. Otherwise, your blog readers will be reluctant to re-visit your blog in future.

Email Processing Scams–They promise you up to $25 per email that you process. All you have to do is to pay some fees to get these jobs. Now does it sound normal? Why should someone pay you that much money just for processing an email? Many people are falling in this trap and losing their money.
Some of these scammers are actually telling about email marketing, where you build a double opt-in list and send that list occasional affiliate link and hope some of them will buy. When they buy using your link you get paid. But, this is not something anyone can do. It takes lot of time and experience to be successful in email marketing.


Medical Billing Scams-Another scam whet you need to pay some fees to get a job that actually does not exist. Medical clinics do not outsource their billing jobs to some unknown home workers.

Envelope Stuffing Scam-This is a type of scam that not only scam you, but, it actually tells you to scam others. You’ll have to pay some upfront fees to join them. This is how these guys make thousands of dollars. This is illegal, and you may face legal prosecution. Avoid these like plague.

Craft Assembling Jobs Scam-In this job you need to assemble toys and other crafts at home. You’ll have to buy the starters kit to start with. But, the problem with these jobs is that, these products hardly have any market. So, the companies you work with, will, in most cases, refuse your work and you won’t get paid. Ultimately you’ll lose your start up fees.

Pyramid Schemes Scam-These schemes requires an upfront fee to join. As a member all you have to do is to refer more members who would join for that fee. They don’t offer any service or product like the Multi-Level-Marketing schemes. These Pyramid schemes are illegal in most countries.

Get Rich Quick by Easy Home Jobs Scam-Now, there can’t be anything called ‘easy money’. You’ll have to work really hard to make money, in whatever profession you’re in. Don’t get fooled by these ads. Don’t go with the hype. Rather, bank on your expertise and hard work and build a real business that can feed your family for years to come.
