Why Does Google Penalize For Low Quality Backlinks?

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by dscurlock, Apr 2, 2015.

    If google can detect low quality backlinks, then it stands to reason
    that they could just simply ignore the bad ones, so why not?

    I would even imagine that any popular site would have such low
    quality links also, but you do not see them going down the
    toilet, maybe some do, but I suspect most do not....

    Same goes for adsense, if your site is just so-so and you get
    click bombed, then boom, your account is banned; however, if
    it is a popular site using adsense, what they dont get click bombed?
    (they appear to be safer then the so-so sites using adsense)

    I recently bought a domain under the impression that it got hit
    by google in 2011; I did a backlink search, and only 8 backlinks
    are showing; I suspect most of the backlinks dropped when
    the domain became inactive; think the domain is safe to use now?
    The domain appears to be heavy in all those cheap whois sites, but
    none of those sites even appear in any searches that I have done.

    Try to check domain on this http://www.isbanned.com/. Yes, you can find many sites in the internet like it, but not be sure of the correctness of their answers.
    Given a fact, we always can to use Disallow links via WMT, I would't should be afraid of situation with banned domain. Although it depends on many factors.

    adsense result
    Is not banned from google adsense.

    WMT will not do me much good at the moment as
    I do not have the site setup yet...

    ^^^^^ This is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE!! ^^^^^ Backlinks still are the largest part of the algo. In fact just over a year ago Matt Cutts made a video stating that Google tried rankings with no links and it just didn't work. Here is the video.



    What Google wants are HIGH QUALITY LINKS. The easiest way is to get them is to build your own "PBN." I can't stress YOUR OWN hard enough. Do not use public PBN networks those will get you into trouble.

    Moreover, Google is also punishing over optimized anchor text. So use Majestic and make sure no MONEY KEYWORD or COMPOUND MONEY anchor text is over 5%

    But whatever you do don't listen to this BS about links not being important. You will not rank if you forget about links. If you do rank with out building your own links it is because your content is good and someone is linking too you.

    Backlinks do matter and are the 3rd most important factor. They will be on their way out, estimates are they'll be a real factor for the next 3 years at minimum. Google is getting close to creating an algorithm where links will be a minor factor, if at all. It really will come down to the quality of content and how factual it is. The whole create content for "users" and not for "spiders" is not a myth, it's for real. If you think the advances in the algorithm in the past 5 years have been significant, wait for the next 5 years.

    Because if you're building useless backlinks all you're doing is spamming the internet. I believe you Should be penalized. Look on this forum, people are still talking about low quality/spammy backlink methods everyday.

    This is why it's so important to build a solid foundation of only quality backlinks. Yes they will have some low quality links but not too many.
    One important thing that new people to SEO forget is to actually link out to other sites. Normally they only focus on backlinks to their site. But that's one key factor that Authority sites have that others do not. They're not afraid to link out to other sites. To get a backlink "Somebody" is going to have to "link out". I personally link out to Authority sites on my site.
    When you have a solid foundation/history of quality links a few low quality won't matter. This also goes for Negative SEO as well.

    Having a solid/clean history of impressions and clicks. Google can determine the IP's and such from a click bombing episode to see if they're the same.

    Was the domain name dropped? You should be fine even if it wasn't. Google knows those whois links are BS, no worries.

    Google Penalize those website which you low quality back links. 4 years back many companies provide thousand of links through bookmarks, Blog commenting and directory submission. These kind of links Google consider as low quality. So that why Google launch penguin and panda updates.

    I am curious why your website shows info about Adsense? Is this a tool to check if banned from Adsense or banned from Google Search Engine? :)

    Hi, Google want to ranked high quality website with unique quality and meaning full content in the search engine so that when any one type search term in the search engine then find out only quality and relevant release on it. That is reason Google penalize low quality back links and law quality websites.

    what world are you living in. i doubt you know anything about SEO.
    link building is still link building even if you have a social media profile to help your ranking, you will still need to place a link on your website profile to rank you higher.
    i dare you to create a website with no external backlinks whatsoever and see if Google will love you.

    seriously don't quit your day job to become an SEO Specialist.

    The Google is usually consistently tweaking in addition to revising just how this search engine spiders written content.
    Even as it may distribute clues in relation to the formula improvements, this not often happens clear in relation to each one of the reasons behind alterations. Correcting points may be challenging. Here is some reason why google penalize:
    * Duplicate content: Make sure your content is unique and well-written
    * Broken external links: Check hyperlinks routinely and draw the duff kinds.
    * Ignoring hreflang
    * Site timing available or even lower
    * Scraped articles
    * Too many outbound hyperlinks. and so on.

    You have to look at backend links from a different perspective.

    If 10 beautiful women raved about how amazing you were in bed odds are most men and women would think you must be quite an amazing person. If 10 fat ugly chicks raved about your amazing ability in bed your friends and family would be embarrassed for you. Now if 6 hot babes and 4 fat chicks raved about your bed room swagger we most likely would look past those fat chicks because you sir are banging 6 pretty damn hot girls....you're a rock star!

    Same thing for High quality and Low quality backend links.

    Make a little more sense now?

    Yes right unique contents are much more effective. I havent encountered these problems but I think google will penalize you if you keep having those low quality backlinks. Then you would know why other great sites with low quality backlinks are not penalized. Its better to try solving your backlinks. :D
