Business Directory Blog

Not long back Google made it clear that SERP results will decrease for websites that are selling links. In no time some of the A-List blogs were kicked out of the SERP results thus sending a shivering wave around the blogging world. These blogs were quickly restored to their original positions once they had removed the paid backlinks but by now the message was clear – no paid backlinks.

Since then webmasters have come up with different alternatives to sport backlinks on their website that do not look paid to big G even when they are. One such escape route was cash donations for backlinks. Websites openly ask for donations to different charities and in return they leave a link to your website on their websites. Who knows if under the table these charities share a section of the donation with these websites or not but for now this method works. Google cannot ban a website for collecting donation for charities!

I tried the CPAlead program on a site which had around 200k indexed pages.
The site started to make some extra bucks per day, but in a couple of weeks, the number of indexed pages dropped dramatically and the same did the search engine traffic.
So you should use CPAlead only on private areas of your site, otherwise you risk losing valuable traffic, even the pages are still crawlable by Googlebot, you get some kind of penalty.
There are some months since I removed the CPAlead code from the site, but the traffic is not back yet at the previous rates.
