Link Building Scam

How can you tell the age of your inbound links?

[Rollo]

I was wondering if anyone knew a systematic way to determine the age of one's inbound links?

I've got 4 teams of link builders working for me on various projects and one of them just tried to bill me for links that I already had. Obviously, one can compare billed links to data bases of past built links, but this is much more difficult for all the "natural" links.

In this case, the link monkey didn't realize that I own a group of websites that are crosslinking to the target site and he tried to claim that he had gotten these links and billed me for them.

It occured to me that I have probably been a victim of this in the past, but I'd like to avoid it in the future it possible... but how?

Systematically? Not sure. On a one up basis, you can view the site in archive.org to see when they put up the link.

I guess systematically is too much to ask for, but that's an interesting way to spot check. Thanks.

I use advanced link builder, for multiple sites.
It works quite well.
I don't use the seek links it as it is a waste of time. I just look for a topical site and ask for a specific link on a specific page. I just dont bother with high volume linking now, it's just spam.

Most linkbuilders will try to seek credit for
old links.
Try that software. It offer a graph of time against links
It works for me a treat. If you buy links it shows what page they have appeared on and gives you the PR, outbound of the actual page so you can quantift=y it.
