3 evil ways to make link building

In SEO business, link building is considered one of the best ways to achieve the two main goals of any
website: better ranking and more organic traffic. Therefore, link building is considered the most effective
tactic to increase the parameters of the website such as authority, influence, trust and reputation.

However, many webmasters allow themselves in the name of fast ranking and burning with the desire to
quickly take the client's money to use illegal techniques for ranking a site. These black hat link-building
practices are counterproductive, considered bad practices, and punished by Google.

I would never recommend using any of these strategies. This post is intended to help you think outside
the box and just for a bit of fun.

1. Lie

1.) Contact bloggers and claim you own the copyright to an image of theirs. Tell them they can keep the
image up as long as they link to you as credit. To make it look more real, you can ask a lawyer to prepare
a letter that is legally valid and states that you hold the rights to the photos and if the site owner does
not agree to put a link to the original, a lawsuit will follow.

2.) This one isn’t link-building, but rather a removal in your favor. Find good solid links pointing to your
competitor and reach out to the site owner. Warn them that their linking technique is against the Google
penguin update and they should remove the link; or claim to be your competitor and request the link to
be removed. Here the version with the lawyer's letter works flawlessly.

3.) Claim you have an employee with cancer or other severe illness. Contact cancer support blogs and
request permission for your employee to write on their blog. This seems brutally nasty, but believe me,
many people out of empathy and good heart get caught up in such cases of supposedly sick people.

2. Cheat
1.) Build a microsite related to a credible company’s promotional efforts. For example, Red Bull’s Stratos
campaign. Contact bloggers while posing as Red Bull employee and request a link to the site. Redirect the
site when you’re done. The redirection technique on sites years ago worked very well, but lately Google
has been catching them and either not paying them the attention they are looking for or punishing them.
But an old site with quality content in the same niche if redirected properly gives a serious advantage
still.

2.) Build cheap low quality links to a site owner. Contact them and offer to remove the back links in
exchange for an external link. This technique can be used by a novice webmaster or site owner who does
not have much knowledge in the world of SEO. Google allows the low-quality and dubious-looking links
in his search console to disavow.

3.) Contact bloggers who run free WordPress or Blogspot blogs with a personalized domain. Offer them
free hosting. You’ll have FTP access, so you can place links wherever you want. Here I want to pay special
attention about FTP access, never and for nothing reason don’t give access to your site to people you do
not know. It's the same as giving the keys to your car or house to a stranger. Anyone can be tempted to
abuse your trust. Only you and no one else should have access to your sites.

3. Steal

1.) Help a businesses owner hire link building services and manage it for them. Get a portion of those
links pointing to your own site at their expense. Helping someone does not give you the right to abuse
their trust and ignorance. It is best to ask him first and if he allows you then put a link to your site. But
only with the permission of the site owner.

2.) Redirect a page of your website to a new and popular infographic. Promote the infographic including
the redirect link as credit. Remove the redirect when you’re done.

3.) Download a popular WordPress tool, theme, plugin and add or change the linking element in the tool.
Keep the same name or rename it to something similar. You’ll get accidental downloads for people
looking for the legit tool and all installs will link to you. This is until they report fraud to WordPress
community. The moment WordPress receives a fraud alert and checks what is the case, your site will
disappear from their network.
Don’t hate me!

I know some of these ideas are pretty ruthless, but please don’t hate me. As I stated above, I would
never practice or recommend these ideas. They’re just ideas. If anyone wants to share some evil
methods, I’d love to hear them!

Do good, help people in need and share your knowledge. This way you will find new friends and people
will respect you.
