Re: Can inbound links really hurt you?
If you had links on sites which Google saw as link sellers they could assume that you were buying links from them and penalise you for that. But then the argument about companies employing tactics to destroy competitors sites could be a very valid one.
I have seen no proof of bad links causing a site problems myself but then again i have seen sites drop and dismissed in bound links from having anything to do with it. Maybe I was over looking that factor!?
In all honesty having asked the question and read the answers it logically makes sense to me that links are either positive or neutral.
Dave, i would love to see some evidence or reasoning to prove that in bound links can hurt...
