(Richard Girard) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 04:28:37 AM PST US Subject: AeroElectric-List: Does negative SEO really work? From: "newastrums" Does negative SEO really work? We know that a site can be penalized or can be suppressed by Google algorithms if they have engaged in manipulative link building. The result can be a manual unnatural links penalty or an unnanouced demotion at the hands of the Penguin algorithm. So, if links that I made can hurt me, then intuitively it makes sense that links that someone else made could have the same negative effect. Google is quite adamant that true, effective negative SEO is very rare. In an effort to understand more about Google's stance on negative SEO I decided to research every instance I could find where a Google representative discussed negative SEO. You can read transcriptions of a good number of John Mueller's and Matt Cutt's statements on negative SEO in this article. I'll be quoting from these transcriptions several times in this Moz post as well.

From: Richard Girard I thought SEO was Single Engine Operations, but apparently I am confused. However, we seem to be getting spammed by these people. I wonder how Google feels about that?
