Link building myth – getting bad backlinks can hurt you
There’s a lot of talk in marketing forums, webmaster forums and of course, sales pages, that mention how getting bad backlinks can cause your site to get banned de-indexed, sand-boxed etc…
This is so dead wrong and defies common sense…
Look at it this way, if getting backlinks from “bad places” could cause your site harm then wouldn’t your competitors be able to figure this out and quickly make your site go “bye-bye”?
So, if you build a purely white-hat site with quality backlinks from trusted domains and have 100% unique content on your site, that STILL leaves you vulnerable to penalties form the search engines if you or someone else gets backlinks from bad neighborhoods or from spammy sites?
