You know it is one of my fav plugins (apart from YARRP). Why? It has not been updated for years, and is yet compatible with all the wp versions I have used it so far. It is one plugin that never gave me one damn trouble..yet

P.S. Sorry for the delay in reply

Been meaning to ask you -
How do you implement your "do follow" policy for positive multiple contributors?

Is it done by hand, or some easier / automated way?

Thanks

Thanks for these six Q&A's - this is some good information that debunks a lot of the myths that are spread around the net by those that either don't know any better or don't do it themselves to actually learn what works and what doesn't. I appreciate the fact that you are firm in your responses with what you have actually experienced while not being afraid to say "I think that is true" if it's something that you've not actually experienced or researched.

Thanks for an excellent post.

No need to apologize. I banned their bot because it is one big bandwidth eater, which won't have been a problem if it gave me any considerable benefit in return. Another reason for blocking them is that I don't want them to keep archives of my sites lol. In case u don't know, ia_archiver is a common bot for alexa, amazon and wayback machine. I think I mentioned it in the seo meta tags article

Anyway, I bookmarked your link. It is another interesting proof that you don't need to build anchor text links for every single keyword you want to rank for. As you know, ppl in this industry keep asking for proofs and screenshots all the time (thank goodness I don't sell info products )

@Alex,

Thanks. I am not surprised you get those same questions, lol! Betcha you also get questions on duplicate content too. I must confess that answering same questions again and again tends to get boring, so that is why I post them all on my blog. Next time someone asks those questions again, I know where to send them (and u know too)!

maybe alexa can use the pre-site data -
by tracking all their outbound links and correlating where it is all going?

Bring lazy is nothing wrong (I am lazy too), but if a person is both lazy and stupid then no one can rescue him. IM is all about working smarter and not harder, so for that purpose we do need some automation tools anyway. Not all automation tools are useful though, and some are downright harmful, the "friend adder" softwares for twitter or myspace are examples.

Rants are fine as long as you stay on topic and..the rant is useful. Even I rant once in a while.

About the backlink builder, I meant you can outsource the backlink packets of Angela and Paul to me if u want. Contact me with your details: http://nuttiehelpdesk.com/

Wonder how could Alexa collect my site data when I have banned their robot from my site. Hmm
