Google Pulls in the Reins
I am sure I am not the only one who thinks this, but I believe they have made the decision to get proactive when it comes to link distribution networks like the ones found at Digitalpoint as well as at LinkVault. These networks have made it too easy for every little kid with a webserver and a basic knowledge of PHP to generate hundreds and thousands of backlinks to any website. Maybe Google has decided that they cannot handle this problem from their side or maybe it is just easier to just crush it by penalizing sites with the tracking images used. In any event, I think this is a good thing. I have seen a number of sites that are completely unrelated to these link networks improve their rankings steadily over the past two weeks…and I have done nothing to help them with regards to SEO or link building. This of course is not proof of anything, but all of the pieces appear to be coming together to show that this may be the case.
