If this tool can detect paid links, then Google can too

Just found this interseting post on another forum.....

It found none on any of my sites..........phew:rasp:

Not convinced about the accuracy of that one... I tried it with three URLs to see the results.

Entered 'chat-alot.com' and it told me that the latest users profile links were paid - incorrect.

Entered 'proving-grounds.net' and it told me that there were no paid links on the site - incorrect.

Entered 'toppz.com' and it told me that there were no paid links on the site - incorrect.

Maybe it's down to the way the links are placed..?

My sites are ok also.

I agree with Jazzi, i don't think it's accurate

I didnt think it was accurate,it also got mine totally wrong.
I cant see a way it could detect if the payment for the link is not done "on site" anyway.
If you traded via email and paisd via paypal, then manually added the link there is no way it could be found a s a paid link.
Howwver if you have an aitomated advertisement payment and listing area, well the that should be detectable in some way.

well i have paid links on my site and it detected none

I can't see how this could work, automated links pages I suppose could be detected.

There's a get out clause on the tool anyway:

Haha, obviously this is a joke. I can see many websites rank highly although they depend highly on paid links (they bought blog posts, reviews, and blogroll links).

I don't think it's a joke :biggrin:
