Google Penalizes for bad backlinks??
- SEO |
This was mentioned in a previous thread of mine, but I thought it would make an interesting thread of it's own and get the debate going.
Lots of people suggest that you must use a varied backlink strategy with varied anchor text etc otherwise Google will penalize the site/page you are backlinking to and cause it to drop in ranking or not be ranked at all.
Personally, I find this nonsense as I have had several sites that have ranked very well (recently) with minimal variation in anchor text.
Also, if Google did penalize for an un-natural backlink stragey - then Google would just become an uncontrollable free-for-all battlefield of people blasting bad links at competitor sites to de-rank them.
What's everyone elses opinion/experience with this?
Cheers,
Steve.
