im currently making a page on my website, and i think i read somewhere a while back that if i enter such terms as spam, link farm etc on my page it could hurt my search rankings. if i wanted to enter this on my webpage: "If bad quality websites link to you, for example link farms & spam sites, your website will inevitably not rank as well as it could." Would that hurt my rankings atall? thanks in advance
I would say that you are safe as long as it fits with the content. So if you're writing a page about SEO or the sort that kind of sentence certainly wouldn't seem out of place.
