I know that the title is a bit strange but it is true that you can get high quality .edu backlinks to rank in SERPs incredibly high for certain keywords like reputed sites including Gizmodo. I should emphasize that it is not an automated or just press the button solution and needs a combination of high quality article plus social efforts.

I have written in HubPages a long useful article with sample screenshots from a certain Gizmodo page, .edu link and related Google SERP success. Read this, you will not be sorry later :)

Well, this post will be a shock for master Google PageRank sculptors who want to idealize everything in their blogs in the eyes of Google spiders. After carefully reading Matt Cutts (Google’s official PageRank knight) about his PageRank sculpting article, I have understood that even Google has no final clear answer about this all times hot topic. I will briefly try to tell you about latest changes and important excerpts from Matt Cutts’ comments to the questions.

  1. Matt says that the classical PageRank papers and discussions which you can find and read on Internet freely are too old algorithms and don’t show the complication of current real Google calculations.

    These include :Sergey Brin PageRank Paper of Stanford , Google PageRank Matrix

  2. Classical Idealized Understanding of PageRank :Please, notice that it is the old PageRank algorithm. The fact that Google once was working on this principle some years ago.According to following chart, all outgoing links are counted as equal including paid links. So, if a page has a value of 100 like on the top-left with 2 outgoing links, all would get equal value as 50.
  3. Decay Factor : It is invented by Google owners to prevent making people constructing link chains. Imagine you have 10 pages on different 10 blogs, one for each and you put links like a chain and finally putting a link from the last item from the chain to the first. It would end up with an infinite PageRank increase. (See chart below).To prevent this, in every step link loses 10 – 15% of its value in the chain and decays in several steps.So, we can conclude that you should avoid such link chains.
  4. Old NoFollow Algorithm : It was the latest understanding of NoFollow and PageRank before Matt Cutts’ explanation on new algorithm two days ago. Google’s aim was to prevent people buying links to increase Page Rank artificially and keeping search engine results clean from spam and affiliate links. According to this, bloggers were encouraged to use rel=nofollow tag in links where they link to an affiliate website or paid link to not to pass PR value.For example,You have a page with PR value of 100 and you link to 10 other pages. 5 of them are nofollowed. According to this algorithm, you would share 100 points amongst remaining 5 links. So, it is exactly 20 points for each followed. Nofollowed links don’t get any points.  So, it was logical to nofollow all unimportant links. So, even if you had a page with 100 nofollow links, you did not lose any points to remaining ones. Please note that we didn’t include decay factor here because the exact details are unknown to the public.
  5. Brand new Google PageRank Algorithm : Here comes Matts’ shocking explanation.Let’s take the same example. A page with PR value of 100, 10 total links, 5 of them are nofollowed. As usual 5 nofollowed links don’t get any points. But, you lose these nofollowed points and remaining points are divided amongst following links. So, say bye bye to 50 points at first hand. Then remaining links get each 10 points. It means that, if you have a page with lots of links whether they are nofollowed or not, you lose!

    The direct implication of this behaviour that a page with less links are better. We can naturally ask this. Should I close the comments at all because they will eat my rankings? There is no clear answer from Matt yet about it. :) I will inform you about incoming feedbacks from him.

  6. Using NoFollow on Privacy Policy, About Us pages etc : Matt clearly says in comments that we should not use nofollow on any of internal pages including these. Shock answer to many SEO fans.
  7. Using NoFollow on Amazon Affiliate links : I didn’t answer still a clear answer on this eventhough, there are much questions. We will keep on asking :) I actually apply half of these links with nofollow to keep looking them natural.
  8. Using NoFollow on Paid Links : Yeah, it continues to be valid. NoFollow your paid links and even better do not lose time and energy to write sponsored reviews at all. Developing a really SEO powered niche website is better in the long run like Best iPhone Cases
  9. Using NoFollow on Feeds : Matt suggests using nofollow on feeds because it is another environment and doesn’t affect how your feeds will be found. He does for its own blog like this.
  10. And let’s finish my article with a funny linkbaiting video from SeoFastStart about latest shiny PR changes : Here is Google Operation Bendover :) Have a nice profitable make money online and affiliate marketing day !

Actually, I was planning to write about Facebook ads and SocialSpark but happened very urgent thing (which I was suspecting though).  Finally, I managed to be banned by Google Adsense program. Another Update : Currently I use my friend’s Google code to support him. Anyway, Google will pay my all pending earnings which is considerably large. Later, I will write about the mistakes (evil actions) that resulted in ban. Because I used their ads in my all blogs, I had to change them with other CPC and CPM advertisement networks and it took almost one month to update efficiently. At that time, unfortunately I couldn’t write posts on my blogs. I see that Adbrite and Chitika are the best alternatives to Google Adsense, even performing better for some blogs. I can’t suggest Bidvertiser much because it didn’t convert well for me and I have given up with them.

What I would like to tell is that Google Adsense ban didn’t affect me terribly because I didn’t put all the eggs in one basket. Since I have depended heavily on Amazon, RocketProfit, CJ and other money program affiliates my income didn’t drop drastically. Now, I have more motivation and can write more freely on my blogs without fear.

Do not forget that Google isn’t the only way to make money online. I will tell you how you can make money which is a little bit far concept to many bloggers. That’s Russian Dating Affiliate programs and I will tell about more after my next post about Facebook ads and SocialSpark.

John Chow was right always repeating the phrase. DO NOT PUT ALL EGGS IN ONE BASKET because you can someday get the deadly email from the big boss ! Internet evolves every day and is full of opportunities for the people desperately seeking them.
