Mad why your website has been stricken by the latest update from Google? As we all know the main purpose of this is to eradicate web spam on SERPs. But do you know that chunks of web spams come from links with low quality networks?

Google regards links as editorial based on votes. Basically those who are producing quality content would rank better in the search engine because visitors find them useful. The main task of Google is to analyze the quality, quantity and significance of the websites that link to yours. This is the main reason why Google can raise red flag when it founds out the kind of sites are linked to yours and the anchor text which is utilized by the linking website.

What are unnatural links? One of the top most reasons why some websites has been struck by Google Penguin is the presence of unnatural links. These are the most common controversies:

1. Links from Dangerous site. Are you aware of the inbound links from websites that have been flagged for spammy issues, pop-up or malware? This is one of the reasons why websites are going down the ranks in the search engines. Why don’t you check ...
... the inbound links that are attached to you that might be from web spammers?

2. Article marketing Sites. Web content which has the same anchor text is another contributing factor why you could be a victim of rank deterioration in the search engines.

3. Posts on Untrusted Sites. Guest’s posts are significant way to have links to your site. These links pointing to websites from sites with low quality articles focuses on anchor text rather than the web content.

4. Paid Links utilizing same anchor text. Buying links from other websites with matching anchor text is strictly beyond Google’s algorithm. Google will then traced it and would regard it as a paid link which is just used to control Page Rank rather than to provide quality content to the visitors.

5. Comment Spam. This is another threat for your websites to be affected. Those with signatures in the comments with matching anchor text and those with spammy user name as exact match text.

Overall, Google didn’t make any changes which are far behind the basics. Google has just transformed its algorithms to catch those spammy sites that conform to black SEO tactics to score higher in the search engine.
