Mall Link Good or Bad????

I don't know if you guys know anyone that has used the Mall Link service by Majon International. Basically, you pay a monthly fee and they link your site to over 11,000 internet malls. They claim it will give you more traffic AND increase your site's SERP.

My questions:

#1 Does anyone know anyone that has used this service, and does it work?

#2 Will the instant appearance of these 11,000+ links get my site penalized by Google?

Thanks,
EJ

Depends on the strength of your site now really. If you have a site with relatively few backlinks, this will almost definitely flag up as spam. It also depends on what kind of pages these links are coming from and what anchor text is being used. If the same anchor text is being used for every link then, again, this could well be flagged as spammy.

Google is god in the search engine market.

God has to be intelligent.

Anybody would doubt that having 10 backlinks for five months, and jumping to 11 000 in a few weeks may not look like natural linking.

A small investigation may reveal that you are trying to manipulate the results. I would investigate if my convictions were as strong as those of Google.

God may be generous and gentle but he may be fierce too.

Gambling to me.

No It should not generate a penalty. But very unlikely to help. My guess zero effect.

Its better not to participate in any paid ads like that cause google banned those participate. Google has a tool for that and anyone could actually report it to google if you have seen one!

I read an article about but I can't remember where and what was the whole article says! But its pointing to paid links and you my get band by google!

inward links CAN NOT hurt you. Otherwise we would all just buy crap like this to stuff up our compaetators. These links are so very unlikely to help you. Most probably come from apges not indexed by google. Even if the links are indexed google can spot such obvoius patters as people who buy this crap all get 11,000 same links same day. these links are most likely valueless but will not hurt you.

With all due respect.... Honestly.

One of my personal favorite quotes. I bought onto that concept when first SEOing in 02. Reasonable, logical and no longer applicable.

If, while desperate to acquire links, one grabs a plethora of irrelevant links you can change the effective topic of your site away from your goal. Thereby lowering your SERP positions for your target niche.

IMHO, G also will place a penalty from "perceived" SEO activities such a receiving a multitude of CO-OP or other defined farming locations.

Focus closely when actively pursuing links.

Would you be concerned if I bought a 100,000 pharmaceutical sitewides anchored with "Adult" in the midst of gambling links ?

I just want to point out that I'm not considering the Mall Link service to enhance my link juice. The company that sells the service, Majon International, claims it will do that, but that is not why I would consider the service.

I am considering the service to receive targeted traffic. These malls are category specific, basically they are directories. I've seen a few and they have PR 4+. I'm just don't want to hurt my organic rankings. This mall thing may not bring me the traffic I desire, but it is only a month by month deal, so I can quit at any time. It would be horrible if it didn't increase my sales AND got me penalized by Google.

Thanks,

Try it for your main competator and see if it hurts them........ It will not hurt.

As I do not really have the time for a back-and-forth I concede.

You are correct:

IBL's can not impact Trust Factor.
IBL's can not alter a Site theme / topic.

Obviously your competitors believe this too.
