There seems to be a major shake-up<br \/>\nin the works, mainly regarding your site&#8217;s backlinks<br \/>\nand if they appear natural or not.<\/p>\n<p>Google, now more than ever, seems to be judging the<br \/>\nquality of your links. Do your links follow set norms<br \/>\nor standards? Do they appear natural? Or do they<br \/>\nappear manipulated?<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of webmasters have received Google&#8217;s answer<br \/>\nin the form of a message in Google&#8217;s Webmasters Tools<br \/>\n&#8211; your site&#8217;s links appear unnatural.<\/p>\n<p>These webmasters have been told by Google to:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Specifically, look for possibly artificial or unnatural<br \/>\nlinks pointing to your site that could be intended to<br \/>\nmanipulate PageRank. Examples of unnatural linking could<br \/>\ninclude buying links to pass PageRank or participating<br \/>\nin link schemes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Google has de-indexed some popular blog networks,<br \/>\nwhere webmasters could purchase links to manipulate their<br \/>\nrankings in Google. This is a warning sign for other<br \/>\nwebmasters to make sure your links are natural and not<br \/>\nmanipulated in any way.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you have been practicing SEO, you probably<br \/>\nhave been actively building backlinks to your site and<br \/>\nweb pages for ages. Now is a good time to re-examine your<br \/>\nlink building practices and see if they do meet Google&#8217;s<br \/>\nstandards.<\/p>\n<p>This is a very serious business, if your links appear unnatural,<br \/>\nyou will lose your rankings in Google. It can even make your<br \/>\nsite unprofitable.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, as usual, I have written another article on this<br \/>\ntopic and I list 5 or 6 things you can do to make your<br \/>\nlinks appear more natural in the eyes of Google.<\/p>\n<p>You can find the article here:<br \/>\n<span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><br \/>\n<span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizwaremagic.com\/googles_unnatural_links_warning.htm\">Google &amp; Your Links<\/a><br \/>\n<span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><br \/>\n<span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>But I would like to leave you with another helpful tip.<br \/>\nOne easy way to monitor your current links and keywords<br \/>\nin Google is simply to create Google Alerts for your<br \/>\nsite&#8217;s major keywords and your site&#8217;s URL.
