Default Re: Can inbound links really hurt you?

A little follow up.. Proof has been asked for time and again.. Let me ask you, would you want this proof posted in open public threads where anyone with a beef could read it?? I wouldn't, that's why so much testing is done behind closed doors..

Can I kill any site?? No, but I can certainly hurt some of them if I chose to.. Could it be recovered from?? Certainly, that was part of the testing.. Could it hurt someone if the timing (say right around Christmas) was perfect?? You bet.. There wouldn't be enough time to recover from it..

It can be done with "just" links, but only on sites with poor link profiles to begin with.. To kill sites with more age and better link profiles takes more effort and more than just links, but yes, those can be ripped from the SERPs as well.. It happens every day..

All I can say is that this has been tested, with more than one site and more than one person watching.. We saw the results for ourselves and filed it away under "good things to know".. But I most certainly am not about to go out and write a step by step blog post on how to do it.. That would simply be stupid.. Whether you believe me or not doesn't really concern me.. That is for you to decide for yourself.. But, as MC said, in theory it can happen, and we all know how good some people are at making theory reality..
