The post was imply about how they have used anchor text to rank in a competitive market, if they are spamming their way to higher rankings this is something Google should get on top of.

The contact form spam is inexcusable and would encourage everyone to report it, however I reported all the spam emails I receive to Google I wouldn’t have time to do anything else, I literally get bombarded daily.

Thanks for the in put I am sure people will find it helpful.

I actually replied to one of their spam contacts via their GMAIL account and got a response today from another non-GMAIL account. They are using various GMAIL accounts to carry out their spamming. The GMAIL accounts are typically different each time I get spammed but it’s always an identical message.

I reported the last email address to Google and everyone else receiving their form spam should do the same.

Hi I’m not sure what you mean. The whole point of the article was that Google put’s a huge amount of weight on anchor text. Are you referring to reciprocal links? If so I don’t think Google ignores them, just puts less weight on them.

I have never heard of them spamming up until your comment but fully take your word on it. I was simply referring to the directories they have used to build links, if they used bots to apply the directory listings to low quality directories then you would hope somewhere along the way Google will pick up on it and penalise them. I really can’t comment on what you have said because I don’t know if it is true, all I will say is that if your comments are correct Google need to be doing a better job at keeping sites that practice that way out of the index.

They refuse to acknowledge what they are doing and claim to be “white hats.”

National Positions are the worst kind of scum on the internet. Don’t do business with them no matter how good they seem. You may very well end up at the bottom of the heap.

Ye people never get the anchor text potential. The problem is they see it as manipulation even though it is an obvious ranking factor. Matt Cutts always says “If search engines didn’t exist would you do it?” If you look at this way I guess it is. The fact remains, search engines do exist and there are certain elements that help get high rankings. I do not see a problem in using them to market a quality site.
