Google releases a report about spammy links

1. Official Google statement: how to deal with bad inbound links Many webmasters think that low quality links or links from spammy websites can have a negative effect on the ranking of their websites on Google. The problem with links from spammy websites is that it is very difficult to do something against them. For example, a competitor could add your website to a link farm network or the competitor could spam with your URL. Google has released an official statement about spammy links This month, Google published an official statement about low quality links in their webmaster blog. Here are the main statements: Linking is a significant factor in Google's ranking algorithm but it is just one of many factors. Other factors are the content of your web pages, the site structure and the appearance of a keyword in the different web page elements. If you have a high quality website and get links from spammy websites, try to contact the website owners and ask them to remove their links. Google will not help you with that. It the webmasters of the spammy website are not cooperative, don't worry and focus on the links that are under your control. Google recommends to optimize the many factors than influence indexing and ranking. The top 10 optimizer in our website optimization tool has been designed for exactly that task. It analyzes dozens of factors that influence the position of your website in the search results and it shows you what exactly you have to change so that Google will list your website on the first result page. Google says that low-quality links rarely stand the test of time and that they may not be considered by Google's ranking algorithm. If you want to make sure Google knows about the spammy links and is valuing them appropriately, you can report them to Google with their spam report or paid links report forms.     This article is why my link building is based around Blogspot blogs. Wordpress blogs, etc..and other Authority sites.   Having said this I dont believe a word of this. Every link is a great link. If there was such a thing as a spammy link we would be using them against our competitors. I think this is a way to convince business to comply without having to figure spammy links into the algorithm
