If you ever have a really bad link sometimes calling up the host provider can help. In my case with one website that had particulary bad links and thier whois info blocked, the host provided a courtesy and emailed the webmaster and they actually removed the link.

So if anyone has Penguin issues with their this may be able to help a little.

Cheers

  • I think the switchbox technique could use some further discussion regarding link building. It is pretty clever to send all your juice to a domain that 301's so you can turn it off if something goes wrong.
  • I agreed with the folk, bad backlinks effect badly to your search engine rankings. That's why it's always suggested to build quality backlinks. Don't think about the quantity now. After Google's recent updates it's clear that 5 quality backlinks will do mcuh better than 20 low quality backlinks (or so called bad backlinks).
