Linking is a great strategy that creates win win situation for both the one who creates links and for the one link points to.

But you need to be careful while creating certain types of links as Google does not like them.

The Search Engine Journal contributor Brian Harnish has shared 10 bad link types which can get you penalized by Google.

Harnish says, “While Google maintains they are good at ignoring bad links, enough bad links can harm your site’s ranking.

This guide will explain 10 different types of bad links that can get you penalized, and what you can do about them.

All you had to do was write a press release and syndicate it to hundreds of press release distribution sites.

You’d quickly get hundreds of links”.
