This month we’re looking at the rise and fall of .edu links, the importance of text analysis and orphaned pages, and a lot more.

7 “White Hat” Link Types that Can Get you Penalized in 2018
Foreward by Matt Diggity:
Very shortly, I’m going to be turning things over to Rick Lomas.
Rick is an expert in manual penalty removal.
I’ve been working with him for quite some time, helping folks recover from manual actions, whether they be “unnatural links”, “thin content”, etc.
Starting last year with a Christmas Day spree of manual actions going after scholarship link building, we’ve seen an uncanny amount of manual penalties being triggered by supposedly white hat techniques.
This is kicked up significantly in 2018 as we’ve had 3 waves of manual penalty sprees already, compared to typically one-per-year.
Rick has kept track of all the “white hat” link types that Google themselves has pointed out problems with.
You’re about to learn all of them.

What We Learned from 11 PBN Experiments
In March 2017, there were changes in Google’s algorithm that greatly affected PBNs as a ranking strategy.
When I was running Diggity Links (now Rank Club), we would test every single domain before adding it to our network.
If a domain’s link caused a positive ranking increase when linking to a test domain, it was added to the network. Otherwise it went in the trash.
Then, all of a sudden, PBN test success rates dropped down to disturbing levels.
Yes, they would actually hurt whatever they linked to.
It was quite shocking but an interesting problem to solve, nonetheless.
What had Google changed? And how could we turn this around in our favor?
My R&D director Rob Rok (also now at Rank Club) and I sat down and designed 11 test experiments involving over 300 PBNs.
This is what we found.
You’re about to learn the exact filters and factors we found that increased the pass rate and power of our PBNs.
