Backlink Spam = Blacklisted Domain?

Featured Replies

Hello, If someone creates alot of backlinks to my website which are bad quality/spam link will Google penalize my domain name for this?

 

If this is true is seem quite unfair because anyone can post links to your website and then other websites could spider this informations and spam it on there bad quality link directories etc.

Actually you get backlinks from reputable websites that google is the most popular backlink.

First, by google robot regularly visit this website to index the pages.

Second, when the website is updated the new articles, so the work index page from google will happen quickly.

I think the question was more about the other direction. Can my competitor achieve to blacklist my site by linking to me from spam?

It's called negative SEO and it's entirely possible, particularly on weaker domains.

 

Established domains are another story, you won't topple ford.com with a few porn links.

Short answer: yes.

 

Slightly longer answer: you can permanently disavow links which you identify as harmful in Google Webmaster Tools.

 

As RD says, disavow if and when you find anything suspect.

 

That said, disavow isn't instant and can take many, many months to 'recover' a domain and that's if it ever does!
