I received the same infographic this morning. Because Google started penalizing ‘guest posts’ of this type, I chose no to publish it. Essentially, you are sharing content that others replicate as is.
I don’t see infographics as guests posts that’s an interesting take you have. Because plenty of infographics are shared everyday without anyone sending an email.
Further dumbing down a world chock full of idiots.
Raymond – Anything that requires a backlink to be used, is essentially a guest post. As opposed to paid posts, where the content is paid for but unique, guest posts of this type are considered harmful to the ranking of the hosting web site. Matt Cutts said so, on January 20th.
See Matt’s post at http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/guest-blogging/
Theo what I meant was plenty of blogs post infographics, Mike usually does not but when I do, I always give credit and no one ever asked for it, I did read what Matt said on guest blogging but then what would you do on an infographic you came across on your own ? I would still always give them a link even though they did not send me the infographic. With Hybrid Domainer I get a lot of emails but they are usually off topic so I cannot post them, but a domain one I would if its relevant.
Matt also did get blasted about his take on guest blogging too, 3 Reasons Guest Blogging Isn’t as Dead as Matt Cutts Says It Is http://www.wordstream.com/blog/ws/2014/01/20/guest-blogging#.
The fun part: I received the same email at 2:37pm and again at 10:37pm today. So clearly, it’s a mass mailing of this request for “exclusivity.”
The problem isn’t with legitimate re-blogging; it’s the fact that you accept the exchange of an item – the infographic – for a backlink. That’s exactly what Matt Cutts referred to in his example.
I am not disputing that fact, my example would be this would eventually end up on Visual.ly, which I check everyday, more than once each day, once I saw that infographic, I would have posted it and included a link.
Google has no way to know how I came across the infographic was my point, you are right they could be douchebags and see it in one light but they have no actual idea how I came across the infographic.
Afternic is not a domain auction venue.
Actually, Google has many tools in place that determine this, based on the similarity of content linking back to the same source. It’s good to keep that in mind. Thanks for the Libyan URL 😀
Hi Raymond.
This IG is ultimately flawed, firstly, it’s elitist, displaying only premium domains, as if this is the only reality of domain auctions.
Secondly, the IG states “You can use the same ones as you would at auction.” Well we chase our tails here don’t we, buying off the market and reselling WHOLESALE to domainers! Therefore, such business philosophy does not always and many times work out.
However, there are exceptions, such as; BitcoinLive.com $521 (2013-4-28) _ $1,885 (2013-12-14)
But you get, SUK.com bought on DNForum for over $10,000 and listed on Sedo auction a week or so later with not a sniff.
See, the likes of Sedo sees it share of end user buyers at the market place, but does the end user/client buy from auction?
I’m a little whet behind the ears in the stats results from this?
Raymond, do you or any of your readers have any ideas on the data? Or for that matter, the data on enders/clients actually buying from any domain auctions, rather than market places.
Thank you, Howie.
