I was just analyzing the backlink strategy of fatjoe. and spotted a post titled "How to Lose Weight For a Wedding – Mind, Body and Soul-347" related to health, giving a backlink to an SEO agency.
What kind of strategy is this, and how did they add that link so naturally? Out of curiosity, I opened the link and was stunned to see a list with 1,586 Anchor texts (backlinks), including fatjoe which was linking to his homepage!
Now, I’m here to ask specifically to Jayson Sacil: Does this still work in 2025, or will Google penalize all sites trying to manipulate backlink profiles and authority?
For other SEO Experts: If you are using this technique or know anyone still using this practice and getting positive results, please share your experience and mention others to share their experiences below!
