“Get featured in Forbes,” they say.
“It will help your SEO,” they say.
But what if it won’t? (It doesn’t)
What if you just paid a lot of money for nothing? (You just did.)
Getting featured in Forbes is a waste.
- It’s against their guidelines to buy placements.
The “contributors” that publish the content have to sign an agreement that they won’t pay to play. You’re getting played.
- See the green arrow in the screenshot? Yay! A link from Forbes.
See the red arrow? The little word under neath it that says “nofollow?”
Nofollow literally tells search engines “Ignore this link.”
