Backlinks still working in 2014/2015!!! Here is the Proof!

Hi People. Long time ago that I post something here because I am busy at my own projects to save my earnings and future. Of course i was always looking for any news about the best ranking methods.

I followed a lot of Forums and read a lot of Blogs! But now I am totally confused because someone showed me a proof that backlinks are the only way to get your website on top.

A German SEO Contest show us the Proof

Last days a Seo contest ended and the winner has revealed all his strategies!

Many blogs have now reported and analyzed his website. And if you guys really want to know the secret of the rankings you should take a look at the blogpost below. Unfortunately, these blogpost are in German Language, so you have to use any translater Tool to understand.

I would like to tell a few things about this, but my English is not sufficient.

All I can say is that the winner has created a private network from expired domains and hide those Whois data etc., he used some old black hat techniques and he always steal english articles and translate them to german.. added some needed keywords, LSI Keywords and important Stopwords in the articles and submit them to tons of websites which used with expired domains...

If you read the blog post below, then you will know that

Content is no longer king

Social signals are not important (yet/now)

Bouncing Rate / User Signals not really important anymore

*** The most important things are backlinks.. and yes... they still leads your website to success... ! So I want to say that private Networks still rocks!!! But beware of your footprints. The best technique at all is to hide your footprints!

P.S.: The next Google Panda Update is coming soon.. but its another Thread...

Here are the Urls to the Blogpost

(please use any translater to understand what these bloggers trying to say... and also very interessting: all comments below the blogpost!)

Nice to see you are still in the business :)

Some very old stuff, but sure it is still working and will work :)

Nice informative post and really will help others but no sure what their effect.

Thanks for sharing the valuable information.

Linkbuilding is very much still alive. I just ran a few tests with spammy link building tactics alone and that is still very effective still! There is a lot of fear in the SEO Community which is exactly what Google wanted. Old tactics are still very much alive and well.

This is exactly what it is, glad to see smart people trying and testing on their own.
