Protect Your Website from the Danger of Negative SEO


When you build a great website for your business, you should develop an effective SEO strategy to boost your keyword rankings and web traffic. However, some of your competitors are likely to harm your site in order to achieve better search visibility than you. When this happens, you will have a battle on your hands.

Here are some tips that can help you protect your website from the risk of negative SEO.

Watch your Back links
Linking hundreds or thousands of poor quality sites to your website is one way to harm your site. When Google looks at this parameter it considers that your website is participating in spam link building techniques and penalizes your site. So it is crucial to audit back link profile and remove the bad links. You should immediately contact the website owners to remove the poor links to your site.

On the other hand if you ignore auditing the link profile, your site is most likely to be hit by penalties. It is also important to obtain good number of high quality links from various sources. Over time this dilutes the bad links and protects your site from negative SEO

Be Proactive
Though you are new to the business world, you should consider buying your domain name immediately. Google gives good score to older websites. If your website is only a week or two old, and has been attacked by negative SEO, it would harm your site in the long run. So the minute you think of online business buy your domain.

That way, even if it takes months to build your site, you will have a site with some value. At the same time sign up for your social media accounts as soon as possible. Besides that, if you have some content, make sure to place it up on the site before you get late. With a proactive approach you can quickly and easily fight back against those who are looking to harm your site.


Make Great Content
A website with high rankings certainly has great content. With perfect content, you need not worry too much about negative SEO. To generate perfect content focus on unique and informative content while considering your target audience. At the same time, ensure your content is search engine friendly to see your pages are doing well on organic search results.

Along with placing great content, blogging regularly can help you score high in SEO and gain more followers. In addition, blogging helps gain visibility for long tail keywords. Furthermore, with frequent posts, you will appear as a recognized site. And you will not have to worry about negative SEO.

To Summarize


While keeping an eye on negative SEO attacks from your competitors you should also focus on your own site. If you build a good number of links from valuable sources, you should not have to worry about one or two negative links. On the other hand, to identify hundreds of negative or spam links, you will have to perform regular audit of your link profile and remove poor links from your profile.
