The “invisible web” is all the web pages that search engines have not indexed. It is estimated that the invisible web is 544 times larger than the visible or indexed web.
The fact that most of the web is not indexed should be very important to internet marketers and SEO’s.
There are probably many web pages that are linking to web sites you maintain that Google has not indexed. These links could be the difference between higher rankings.

Late last week I received an email from One Way Back Links that said they have an extra 2 million text links that they need to sell by the end of the month. That sounds like a lot of links.
I wanted to get the skinny on One Way Back Links, so I called the number in the email. I spoke with a guy named Dave who gave me the run down.
What’s the deal?
Just over a year ago One Way Back Links started creating a lot of directories filled with free articles. They now have over 1000 web sites with over 100,000 pages. They sell three different types of links on these pages:

A Google hand-edit is when a Google engineer manually goes through your web site/back links and gives you the ranking that they think you deserve.
If Google finds that your web site violates their webmaster guidelines, you’re web site will probably be penalized.
The importance of avoiding a Google hand-edit
For many web sites the only way to compete for some keywords is by ignoring Google’s webmaster guidelines and buying links. This is because the competition is doing it and it works really well.
Many businesses are in business because of their Google rankings. A penalty due to a Google hand-edit could put them out of business. Web sites that avoid being edited do well for themselves.

Google is cracking down on link selling by going after the biggest text link broker, Text Link Ads.
Do a search for ‘text link ads’ in Google and the Text Link Ads web site shows up 43rd. There is no other explanation for a web site with a PR7 not showing up for a search on it’s own name than Google is penalizing it.

My company Kinoli handles the Internet Marketing for Petfresh, makers of the healthiest dog food on the planet. We recently redesigned the web sites for their two brands, Homestyle Select and Deli Fresh.
After launching the new Homestyle Select web site, we sent an email to a list of veterinarians encouraging them to check out the web site and fill out an online form. In return they would receive a free sample of Homestyle Select. The only way to access the free sample form was through the link provided in the email.
A few weeks after we sent the emails to our list of veterinarians our client noticed that they received a few hundred submissions for free samples in the time span of a couple hours.

I recently purchased an after-market domain from Buy Domains for a project I’m working on.
I believe that I paid much less than I should have because of the age of the domain, which goes back as far as August 2000 according to the Way Back Machine. There are still links coming into the domain that first appeared in 2002.
Having an old history to a domain name and inbound links can drastically increase the value of a domain.

Question: Should SEO professionals get 15% commission on the links they buy for their clients?
Most ad agencies and media buyers make a 15% commission on the media they purchase for their clients. This includes the placement of television commercials, radio spots, print ads, web site banner ads, billboards and more.
Ad agencies and graphic design firms also make a 15% commission on the printing of brochures, magazines, stationary and so on. This commission comes out of what the client pays to the media and printing companies.
