Hi Friends,

Links can significantly impact your search performance — for better or worse.. Regardless of whether you choose to use black hat or white hat link building techniques, you should be prepared for the potential consequences.. It's important to run a full backlink analysis and pinpoint both the good and bad links that are pointing to your site. Identifying a bad link is challenging because there is no set method that we know of by which Google will decide whether to penalize a site.

Non-niche directories with no particular focus or criteria
Non-genuine blog comments with spammy link text (ie, not your name)
Site-wide links can be a red flag, investigate further
Any sites completely unrelated and irrelevant to your site
Profile links and low quality or spun article links
