Does anyone find that they were penalised by Penguin because of Profile links such as Paul and Angela's backlinks, because i had a website where i built profile backlinks and i used amr and i do not know if it was only AMR that caused the penalty or also the profile backlinks. i was linking directly to the website ?

    Just send an email to Google and ask them, they're pretty useful.

    Last update kicked out backlinks like hell, especially the "usual suspects"...

    First define penalty.

    Second a typical profile link is junk even If Google never made an algo. update, so really I doubt this last update had any impact on those profile links you bought.

      penalty means lost rankings by about 50 positions.

      I disagree Profile links used to work very well for me.

  • If Google devalues links and those are the majority of the links pointing to you, then you are going to loose rankings. Massive profile linking is not a good way to build a long lasting serp rank.
