Bonjour

Je viens de recevoir après avoir demandé un réexamen de mon site (maison-eco-malin . c o m) une réponse de Google, que mon site n’est toujours pas conforme ! Identifiant du message : [WMT-81011] J’ai envoyé un fichier pour désavouer un grand nombre de liens non désirés Mais rien ne change ! Je me retrouve avec des liens de sites bizarres sans rapport avec mon site. Comme des liens de sites sexuelle voir porno, de testes de sites, ect… Savez-vous comment arrêter cela ? Comment empêcher de faire de mauvais liens vers mon site ? Comment expliquer à Google que j’y suis pour rien ?

Bonne journée Cordialement E.Levigneron

Matt, no amount of hand-waving will convince people when there is ample evidence of negative SEO, including meticulous case studies published online. As well, the very fact that Google has given in and introduced the disavow tool, it is incontrovertible proof that negative SEO is effective.

We've looked into most of the blog posts about negative SEO, and in most cases we've found major flaws or bad assumptions.

Matt, the disavow tool is most certainly incontrovertible proof that negative SEO works. Why? Because whether a "spammy" link has been created by a website's own misplaced SEO efforts or through that of a third party which wishes them ill, the effects are the same: a negative effect in ranking.

We know from google that "spammy links" can and do indeed negatively effect rankings - this is why google has provided website owners the ability to 'clean up their act' in the first place

But it does not matter who created the link, the effect is the same, hence, negative SEO works.
