The whole issue of Negative SEO is quite complex – many webmasters
\ndon’t believe your site can be affected by these underhand tactics.
\nMaybe Negative SEO has been blown out of proportion in the online
\nforums recently – but Google’s introduction of the Penguin Update
\nhas definitely brought this issue back into the limelight.<\/p>\n

Basically, negative SEO is using deceitful tactics to undermine the
\ncredibility of another site, especially in the search engines. In the
\nadvent of Penguin, this can now be building 1000s or even 100,000s of
\nspammy links from low quality sites and pointing all of them at your
\ncompetition. Penguin crawls these links and a red flag is thrown up
\n– your site’s rankings take a dive. Your competitor’s rankings go up
\na notch or two.<\/p>\n

These ruthless individuals can now even hire services which build
\nthese links up over a long period of time and make it seem like
\nYOU’RE building or even buying these links.<\/p>\n

Plus, negative SEO just doesn’t involve links, it can also include
\ncreating duplicate content, using link re-direction, even hacking sites
\nto do serious SEO damage… in very competitive niches, one should
\nalways be on their guard against such practices.<\/p>\n

Google has always stated that another site can’t do much to harm yours
\n– but it seems this position has changed somewhat in recent months with
\nthe introduction of Penguin. Since this Update is really judging your
\nlink Profile – your external links have now come into play. Your anchor
\ntext, site-wide links, links coming from bad neighborhoods… all come
\ninto play and can seriously lower or even nuke your rankings in Google
\nbecause this is a manual penalty – if Google believes your site violates
\nits guidelines, it will be blocked.<\/p>\n

If Google believes you’re trying to “game” or “manipulate” its rankings,
\nyour site will virtually disappear from Google. Too many inorganic links
\nand your site could be history.<\/p>\n

Now Google has given webmasters the opportunity to “right” this situation.
\nThrough GWT, a webmaster can appeal their case after they have extensively
\ncleaned up their “link profile” by removing any offensive links or linking
\npractices. Depending upon your clean-up effort and the “subjective” judgment
\nof Google’s quality team – you might be able to partially regain your rankings
\nand your Google search traffic.
\n
\n
\nOther sites have recovered from Penguin – so it can be done. However, until
\nthis quality team is satisfied – your site will remain in the doghouse.<\/b>
\n
\n
\nThis whole process can be a total nightmare especially if a webmaster has 1000s
\nof links on sites where the site owners simply refuses to delete your links.
\nEven contacting these sites can be a major headache and a major expense.
\nRemoving or fixing links which have been built up over 10 or 15 years is a
\nmassive job – one that is impossible to do.
\n
\n
\nErasing the Internet is not an option!<\/b>
\n
\n
\nThankfully, Google may be introducing a “disavow link tool” in GWT in the
\ncoming months. Webmasters can use this tool to tell Google to discard any
\nspammy “bad” links pointing to their sites. These links will no longer
\ninfluence your Google rankings. This potential tool could also become a
\nserious weapon against Negative SEO.
