It may be more black-hat than some attempts, but the most frustrating thing about this article is that it implies that paid links are a rare thing for e-commerce sites. Pick any shopping-related term, and the odds are overwhelming that the top-ranking site has a large SEO budget.
- kyle6884 16y agoAgreed, if the average-user only knew how prevalent this is. We're an e-commerce site and constantly feel in the minority for not buying links exactly like JCP did. Almost all of our top competitors do the exact same thing and have gotten away with it for as long as I can remember. The only reason we don't is being too afraid of the supposed "wrath" that doesn't ever seem to come to them (that is unless you can get a NYT article written about it).
