Google core algorithm is based on links but when toxic and nasty links get into your site, it is very painful. When there’s a problematic link attack from either your competitors or from automated schemes like the globe spam, you get penalized for it. If you think that Google’s penalty is painful, think about the pain of getting your website off the list of the virus program distributors. In this episode of SEO Leverage podcast, we got to talk with Christoph Cemper who will give us insights on how Google is doing something about such links and what tools can you use to disavow harmful links.
