| | It's my understanding that buying and selling links is acceptable to Google, providing they don't pass PageRank. However if the intention is to influence search results then you'll be violating Google's guidelines. If (when) you get caught, don't be surprised to find your site missing from search results. To prevent …  |
| | So, Google Fetch returned an HTTP 404 error? You can rule out issues with robots.txt. The file tells bots which resources it should not request. You simply would not receive an HTTP response (or error) because a well-behaved bot will not make requests for blocked resources. The robots meta tag … |

| | Search for [SMS gateway](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=SMS+gateway). You'll discover there are many services offering SMS messaging, which you can connect to through their APIs.

 | Requests for `https://malsup.github.com/jquery.form.js` are being 301 redirected to `http://malsup.github.io/jquery.form.js`, hence the mixed content issue.

| | Keystoke, in an earlier [post](http://www.daniweb.com/members/955745/keystoke/posts#post1822077) you've stated you are a **link seller**. If you have fallen foul of Google's policy on [link schemes](http://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66356?hl=en) you are going to find it extraordinarily difficult to get page rank with them again. |
| | For the purpose of SEO promotion? If you're looking to gain Page Rank for the link, I don't believe self published links carry much weight.
