Google have sent a

procedure to get the
penalty removed
They are still
sending them

WHAT WAS
OUR RESPONSE?
We needed to try understand what the link risk was of every
link we had placed or were going to place
Paul Madden Frokostseminar 際際滷s
Google have hidden
what they consider a
bad link well
To rank you have to
build, but you have to
manage the risk far more
MANAGING THE RISK OF LINK BUILDING
1. 2. 3.
Have someone audit your
links with experience 	
 油
Audit what you have	
 油 Determine what is risky
and what to remove
Removing is almost as bad as not
removing!
If you determine what the problem
links are, out of every 100 links you
identify as bad Google probably
only thinks 20 are bad!
Removing all 100 is as bad for
your rankings as getting penalised
in some cases!
