The calculation is simple: the blogger will not nail the link to the blog of a living person. And with some it works.
You will ask: “If they do not enter keywords in the link, then why do they need it?” Everything is simple. In pseudo-blogs, TIC and PageRank are “pumped”, and then links from them are sold or used for “promotion”.
