Follow and NoFollow Links - How To Unlock The Power Of Follow Links And Make More With Your Post!

That is why I don't believe in all of those promo bots. I think people should produce content not because they can get on the top or earn a couple of £, but because they want to share something important. Quality is the key.
One day Google bots will be more intelligent and all of that backlink rubbish will be worth nothing.
I am working on SEO for my company and when I scanned competitors using Moz I was shocked. Well established companies are still using "vagra" spam techniques and they see nothing wrong in this.

I personally use the promo bots to gain followers. I have been posting on Steemit since the beginning - but i've taken breaks in between. It is a terrible financial proposition but it helps build a following and re-establish old connections. A backlink from this site is valuable and I dont think its wrong if relevant to the article.

Some of those spam links are competitors trying to poison your competion. Most companies have a huge disavow list - some of those links might be on it.

Like medium or buzzfeed or any other site that allows user contribution - it will always (and should always) be a part of SEO. I don't think google will ever reach the point where it simply looks at quality content - it will evolve -but as long as they are the gatekeepers setting the rules - we'll shape our content strategy to follow suit! Good luck with your SEO endeavors!
