		<description>Most link building by most SEO firms is not &quot;natural&quot; and is in fact blackhat according to Google. If you have to pay for it, ask for it, comment for it or insert a link in your article to gain it, then you are manipulating Google search results and Google terms that as blackhat. You just need to view the many video&#039;s by Matt Cutts to realize that if you are doing any of the above, then you are creating links manually and you violating Google&#039;s TOS.

It simply baffles me how many SEO experts will quickly denounce Cloaking as &quot;unethical&quot; or against Google&#039;s TOS or even label it as spam which manipulates search results but then on a daily basis create artificial, manual or software generated backlinks for clients.

If you are distributing countless articles with links or posting on blogs/forums to obtain backlinks or using automated backlinking software, isn&#039;t that also spamming to manipulate search engine results?

What is the difference? It all violates Google&#039;s TOS.

So does &quot;blackhat&quot; or being &quot;unethical&quot; really exist anymore? Isn&#039;t this really about traffic, conversions and surviving within an ever tightening monopoly created by Google for which we now are left with few other options, unless to line the pockets of Google shareholders.</description>

		<description>The backlinks action are links that start on another site and point to yours, you can discuss with the of the other site details like the anchor text, for example.Is not the same as manage your own sites,backlinks is part of the page rank algorithm is that if a page is good, people will start linking to it. And the more backlinks a page has, the better,the link need to be live.</description>
