Public Evidence Excerpt

It's crazy that this exists. This website purchased a huge amount of spam links. Spam backlinks pointed at a competitor website. 45,000 comment links, that was $15. 7,000 double tiered forum profile links, exact match anchor text. They were doing exact match anchor text here too. Cost $5. 4,000 sidebar links $20. Exact match anchor text. Total spent $40. Here's when the 45,000 comment links come in. Then the 7,000 forum links, they actually go up. But then when it is complete, the sidebar links come in straight down. This is called negative SEO, and they tank a competitor's website. Can you believe that? Things like this in internet marketing are so insane? And for every SEO that says this doesn't work anymore, I can find another who knows somebody that this happened to or this has happened to themselves.
