Fiverr® DoFollow Backlinks

Backlink nuances:

All links are different. Almost all of them are good.
Not good: links from wrong neighbourhood. If a link to your site is surrounded by 10 "cheap viagra" links, or if the linking page is all about cheap Viagra, then Google may conclude that your page is also about Viagra.
Bad (actually, too bad): links with wrong anchor text. If your website sells, let's say Lenovo laptops, but all inbound links are "teen porno", then it is unlikely that Google will show your site prominently in Lenovo laptop related searches.

Let's forget about bad incoming links for now.
Talking about good links – all of them are good and all of them are beneficial. Every link counts.
Nofollow links won't bring you PR, but they

• May bring you human traffic
• May help Google to discover your site and keep it in the index. If nobody links to you, then Google will drop your pages from its index soon even if you submit your site manually. So if your site is brand new, even nofollow links are valuable.
• Add trust and relevance, if their anchor text is relevant. If you take a look on "Links to your site" in Google Webmaster Tools, you can see that Google shows nofollow links there and does not ignore them.
• There are search engines other than Google, and they may treat nofollow differently.

So yes, all good links are good and every link counts.
But backlinks in the above Fiverr gig table are INCREDIBLY good, and count countless times more. The links provide you TRIPLE BENEFITS:

• Bring a substantial amount of PR
• Right anchor text increases relevance considerably
• And a benefit that can be seen only with high-PR inward links: search results improve DRAMATICALLY for search phrases that exactly match a piece of your anchor text.
  Example: The anchor text is gaming Lenovo laptops in Vancouver East. The best result will be for a search for this exact phrase. Good results will be for gaming Lenovo laptops in Vancouver or Lenovo laptops in Vancouver East or Lenovo laptops in Vancouver. Much lower results will be for gaming Lenovo laptops in downtown Vancouver or even for gaming Lenovo laptops in East Vancouver, because these phrases don’t exactly match any piece of the anchor text.

There are 4 major classes of backlinks at Fiverr:

1. Microblogging-based. I will not elaborate on what this means, otherwise it may reveal sellers' secrets and know-how. If a gig goes through successfully, then the result is unbelievably amazing. If your primary backlink (i.e. what you originally get) survives even for only couple weeks, it may spawn dozens or even hundreds of links to your site. Although those spawned links are low-PR, there are many of them and from a highly reputable site.
   These sellers may be mutually exclusive. If this is the case, then once you engaged a microblogging seller for a certain domain, then other microblogging sellers are unable to do anything with this domain.
   You can recognise these gigs by a requirement for URL to point to the root of (sub)domain, not to an inner page; and an anchor text is restricted to be quite short.
   Don't forget that essentially these links are just comment links.
2. Blogroll links. These are probably the most predictable links. An owner of a website creates such links and s/he controls what type of links s/he allows, so that link neighbourhood is good; it is possible to remove a link or to change it, if you don't like the result. These kinds of sites tend to develop quite high OBL with time, but with a $5 price the value of such links is still terrific. Sometimes a site of this kind is a blog with a lot of machine-generated articles, and there may be other issues that Google does not like. Such sites may suddenly lose PR and fall form PR6 to PR0 overnight. But usually you can easily see from a first glance if its PR is reliable enough.
   If the theme of the linking site is the same as the theme of linked site (games, real estate, SEO, etc.), then such links are almost perfect.
3. Article links. Generally, these are the best links. You provide an article, something like 500 words or so, and you are allowed to create a couple backlinks in the article. The good side is that you can create an ideal neighbourhood for your links. For example, if your page is about SEO, then you can write an article about SEO and use all the SEO-related keywords you can imagine: 301 redirect, Above the Fold, Anchor Text, High Authority, Canonical URL, Deep Link Ratio, Directory, Everflux, .htaccess, Matt Cutts, SEM, SEO, SERP, Title, etc, etc, etc. It is even better if the linking site and your site are in the same niche. On the other hand, an article stays on high-PR front page only for some limited time, and then new articles push old ones to next pages that are most likely low-PR.
4. Comment links. If a site owner allows you to create such links, then it is very close to article links. But usually a seller has no control over the site to be commented. If PR of a site is quite high, then it may make sense to create such a link even if you know it will not survive for any substantial amount of time. Ideally comments are closed after some period of time. Then if your link is still there, it will be there forever. Otherwise a website moderator may remove a link. If moderators don't moderate, then OBL will grow infinitely or eventually old comments will be pushed to the next comment page which probably has no PR. You never know what other commenters will post: maybe your post will end up between lesbian movies and penis enlargement pills, and there is no way to undo or change your link. So it may be a good idea to check the linking page before ordering a gig, if a seller is kind enough to allow this.
   This is the most common class of backlinks. For .EDU, it is actually the only available class.
   Sometimes a seller just creates a link on a well-known dofollow site like TOPO! Explorer. This is not really useful, as you can easily find a well-ranked page on the website yourself (for example http://www.topo.com/trips/1326), and all such sites are overspammed, i.e. overOBLed.

So one may wonder: What type of links to use? The only right answer is to use all available suitable types. And don't forget directories – there are plenty of directory submission offers on Fiverr. Never put all your balls in one basket – this is true in many areas including Fiverr and SEO.

So one may wonder: What type of links not to use? It's tough to tell what exactly not to use. Angela's links (a.k.a. Angela's and Paul's backlinks or just Angela links) are not really useful. Profile links are pretty much useless either. SEnuke X as well. All these techniques are focused on quantity instead of quality. You have to get really A LOT of such links to make any difference. Just 1,000 of PR0 links is not a lot at all, one PR4 link would do a better job. And profile links are often stay PR NA or not indexed at all.
"I will manually create 1,000 dofollow backlinks" sounds unreal, but this is very tricky. For example, blogroll links. If they are published on all pages of a blog, then in addition to a high-PR link on a home page you get many lower-PR links from other pages. For example, some of PR6 backlinks created by blogroll_studio, muhibbi, seoresults, wopdago_10 provide also a hundred or hundreds of lower-PR backlinks from inner pages of their sites. If they advertised "I provide hundreds of manually created permanent dofollow backlinks with your anchor text", nobody would believe them. But in reality they do provide. And gappublishing's backlinks (or at least some of them) make thousands of inner-page backlinks.

Why care now:

There is a rumour that PageRank is deprecating. Google may be moving away from a publicly visible page rank. Some authors ask not when but rather if the rank will be updated again. As soon as PageRank is deprecated, many current SEO tactics and strategies become obsolete, and SEO and SEM become more difficult and uncertain, and thus significantly more expensive until some new metrics are developed.

Tools and Links:

Glossary:

Anchor Text (a.k.a. link label, a.k.a. link text) is the visible, clickable text in a hyperlink. The words contained in the anchor text tell search engines what the linked page is about. Google may show your page in search results even if searched words are not present on the page but anchor text of some backlink includes them. For example, google for click here: 1st result will be Adobe Reader download page that has neither the exact word "click" nor the word "here".
In the following example, the anchor text is Dell coupons: Dell coupons

Backlinks (a.k.a. inbound links, incoming links, inlinks, inward links) are incoming links to a web page from other web sites.
For example, the following link is a backlink for Fiverr.com, as it goes from this page to Fiverr.com: just a link to Fiverr.com
Links between different pages of the same website are usually not called backlinks, although they work exactly the same way as cross-site links.

Dofollow is antonym of nofollow.
A dofollow link transfers Google PR from a linking page to a linked page, i.e. increases PR of linked page.
There is no "dofollow" attribute or value in HTML, and strictly speaking there is no such term and there is even no such word. It is just much easier and less ambiguous to say "dofollow" than "non-nofollow".
So a dofollow link is a link that is not nofollow.
This is how a dofollow link may look in HTML code:   <a href="http://example.com">click here</a>

Domain PR vs linking page PR
Often you can see offers to backlink from a high-PR domain. Usually this means that the root of the domain has high PR. But it does not tell the PR of the page where your backlink will reside. Actually, only PR of the linking page matters: it does not matter what PRs are of other pages including the home page. For example http://www.iana.org/ has PR 8. It would be incredibly great to get a backlink from this page. But http://www.iana.org/domains/example/ (this is where example.com redirects) has no PR. So a link from this page would be pretty much useless, although the domain is highly reputable and its root has PR8. Actually, it would not be completely useless; it would be just 60,000,000 or so times less useful than a PR8 inlink. So if you can get 100 million PR NA inward links, or maybe just 10 million PR0 ones, then you don't have to worry about PR8 links.

Long tail
For example, your site has 1,000 search queries for some MainKeyword, and also 1,000 different not-so-main keywords provide 1 query each. Those 1,000 not-so-main keywords are the long tail. To understand why it is called a tail, just recall the shape of Gaussian function.
A SEOmaster may target a few main keywords if s/he hopes to outcompete competitors, or s/he can target many long tail keywords that have less outcome but usually have less competition.

Nofollow
If a link is nofollow, this link does not transfer Google PR from the linking page to the linked page. Other major search engines treat nofollow links similarly to Google.
"Nofollow" is only an instruction for search engines, and each search engine may decide how to treat it. The purpose of nofollow is to prevent comment spam.
This is how a nofollow link looks in HTML code:   <a href="http://example.com" rel="nofollow">click here</a>

OBL means outbound link.
When somebody says "This page has high OBL", this usually means that the page has high OBL count, or high OBL density, or something like that; i.e., there are too many outbound links on the page. It is believed that the amount of PR that all links transfer to linked pages stays the same for a linking page, regardless of number of outgoing links. So the fewer outbound links, the higher value of each link.

PageRank
Page rank is Google's way of measuring significance of a page. It is based on number of dofollow backlinks and on significance of linking pages. The more high-PR pages link to you, the higher your page rank. PageRank can be an integer from 0 to 10. It can be also "none" if the page is not ranked by Google.
Publicly displayed PageRank is not exactly what Google uses in its searches. Publicly displayed PageRank is just a reflection of actual rank and is not necessarily equal to actual rank at any moment. Google uses many metrics, not only page rank. While actual page rank is updated continuously, publicly displayed PageRank is updated only a few times a year (it was 4 times in 2011; a week-long first 2012 update started on Feb 6, 2012). There is a rumour that Google will stop updating publicly displayed PageRank or will discontinue it, i.e. will make it unavailable for the public.
"Page is not ranked by Google" does not necessarily mean that it is not indexed: many PR NA pages are indexed by Google, so links from such pages may be not totally useless.
Regarding the relationship between different levels of PageRank, the most common number believed by SEO community is 6; i.e., that each next level is 6 times more powerful than the previous one. So instead of getting six PR7 backlinks, you can get just one PR8 link or just 280 thousand PR0 links.
It is believed that to get a certain PageRank level, a page has to have about 20 inbound links of the same level (assuming no outbound links). So to get PR6, you need to get 20 PR6 backlinks, or 120 PR5s, or 4 PR7s. These numbers are awfully approximate, because OBL does matter.
The PageRank process is patented, and the patent is assigned to Stanford University. The word "PageRank" is a trademark of Google.

PR means PageRank. For example PageRank 9 may be expressed as PR9, or less often as PR 9 or PR-9. If a page is not ranked by Google, i.e. has no PR, then this is usually expressed as PR NA or just NA. Sometimes PR is written in lower case.

Relevance
Link relevance is the relevance between a page being linked and the anchor text of the incoming link.
By "page relevance" SEO people usually mean the relevance between content of a page and Google's opinion about the page. For example, googling for click here brings Adobe Reader's download page as the first result. This means that Google thinks that the Adobe Reader download page is about clicking here. This example shows how anchor text can influence search results.
Relevant incoming links improve page relevance.
