Can Competitor Hurt My Website Ranking?

[denniemark]

Actually, I want to know that can competitor hurt my website ranking. I am seeing, somebody is doing negative activities for my website. Before three days ago I have checked my google webmaster account. I have seen that, there are more than thousand 404 pages in the account, and then I have checked that, from where am I getting these links (404 links)? There were lots of classifieds sites, where somebody posted my website link wrongly (put broken link). I had got this site emoment.net, which has 5018 links to my website and total links 17028, i have in google webmaster account. I am still safe; I have not got any negative effect till now. But i am confused, Will I take it seriously or ignore?

404 pages can certainly hurt your SEO efforts. So you can create custom 404 error page and redirect all your 404 error page there. This will certainly help you to reduce the count of 404 pages.

According to me your competitor can't do the negative work on your website. Because nobody have spare time.

Yes it is true that your competitors work again you, they always try to decrease your online reputation so beware about your competitors’ negative activities against you, then make a proper plan to fight back.
