1.7 Crowd marketing/Ghost marketing - Links, that are usually acquired on online communities/forums, where established users post and respond to a thread that talks about some service/company, leaving a link to a site. Another option, is when the same person has multiple accounts on the same community, raising questions (new threads) from one account, and responding to this thread from another one, adding a link to some external site.

Not done this looks like seo spamming tactics, which is completely alien to Wikipedia's purpose. --bonadea contributions talk 21:37, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
- It is not about SEO spamming tactics. It is ghost marketing, when you pay influencers on a community to promote your company, you are getting backlinks and clients at the same time. Maybe my wording misled you. I think you were thinking about forum spam, it is not something this points to. Forum spam is automated/semi-automated thing, that is black hat seo, and against any rules.
- In my opinion we are listing types of links, and this is something I can add, as current list looks very thin. Internet is developing, and different new possibilities appear Seobro.agency (talk) 10:59, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- The SEO community might not think that's spam, but everyone else thinks it is. MrOllie (talk) 11:42, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- What you are describing is most certainly spam. Paying people to promote your company without being completely open about the fact that they are paid to do so? Paying people to create sockpuppet accounts and deceive others by creating forum threads where they pretend to be different people?? Despicable behaviour – doesn't get much more black-hatted than that. (If it is actually a thing, there might be scholarly sources discussing the prevalence and reporting on efforts to stamp it out. That could be used, provided the sources are good enough.) --bonadea contributions talk

Broken Link Building [1] [searchengineland.com 1][1][1]Makeraryaman (talk) 11:51, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- Hey @Makeraryaman, want to try rewriting this to be a bit simpler, and look for an impartial source? Dead link reclamation as a white method is a fine strategy, but needs to condensed and simpler, and try to find the canonical term that describes the strategy (along with a citation). --FeldBum (talk) 21:52, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
