Easiest $100 I ever made, I officially love SEO!

Hmmm sounds like doing that would be like gangsters charging "protection" money.

Wasn't there a WSO out about creating loads of poor reviews for businesses, contacting them about those reviews and charging a clean up fee?

I hope we don't see a WSO like that again.

Thanks

Are you confusing a WSO with Yelp's official business model (at least, until they got caught)?

I'm always getting offers for "bad link cleanup" to my ranking sites. Thanks for giving me the inside-scoop, hah.

Now that is a good method!

Thanks

I was joking about the WSO thing, I hope it wasn't taken seriously. Being that it actually happened to me just now, the first thing I thought was that it fits the content of a sleazy product stereotype.

  You disavow a list of links that you submit, not all of your links.

That's cray, massive waste of cash, I wonder how much this guy has spent having shitty links removed, when Google will just ignore them for free.

Bob, I knew you were kidding, mate lol.

And didn't realize that was Yelp's business model =\ can't say I'm surprised, though.

I was a little in shock and wondering if this was some kind of con, but it was legit, he thanked me and paid me immediately.

I don't even understand what the damage would have been from this link. The SEO client is an online gambling site. So some bot on my forum who has no ability to even post anything has his clients website in his profile and that's bothering him bad enough to spend $100?

Can someone tell me why this even makes sense.

Thanks

enough spam links and you can negative SEO on a competitor... if it was for online gambling, I'm sure they have the money to spend since most of those SEO campaigns run between $10,000-50,000/mo. Maybe things are going so well that they didn't want to risk a disavow.
