Yes, that’s true. I got caught by Google for selling paid links.

You are probably already aware that Google is taking the obvious measures against paid links.

I have a couple of niche web sites; some of them hardly got any traffic, but they all had nice Google PageRanks. There was a time I was selling paid links with Backlinks.com which made me a small stream of income every month.

However, one day I woke up and saw a popular site of mine dropped from PR 3 to PR 0.

In case you don’t know, let me introduce you to Cialdini’s law of reciprocation: people generally feel obligated to reciprocate when they receive gifts from others.

The law states that whatever you do will be returned back to you. If you can give away value and help people, you will get far more than you gave.

The 99% of people who fail to make money online because they don’t follow this law. They simply try to hard sell to everybody.

And if you can give something to people first, the obligation for people to give back will massively boost your selling and marketing efforts.
