Hi,

I would like to share a really good tool that help you to know about bad neighbourhood links of your site.

Well that's nice, but it can't tell you a hundred and fifty other things that makes them bad, like mailing out spam.

That's true pfb, but... so what? What does someone mailing out spam have to do with SEO?

The engines got feed up with the spam laws in 2002 - 2003 , they started to impose strict penalities on spammers or sites they thought might spam. -

Why?

Spammers eat their bandwidth - Gmail, AOL, Hotmail, yahoo mail, etc.

Here's notes I wrote for staff meetings (I reported directly to the CEO):

12/2003 - affiliate advises he is not concerned with load times or search engine placement - will purchase placement.

12/03 - First site built to client exact design specifications - - site replaced per CEO/corporate

1/2004 - reported client (affiliate) to corporate for spamming - denies spamming

2/2004 reported client for again spamming - denies spamming again - meeting held with CEO

2/2004 client spamming again - denies spamming - client used photo linked to corporate site in spam - had to admit it ...lol

3/2004 client spammed again - AOL, excite, road runner temporarily ban north America site site due to spamming, corporate site also suffers lower placement - letter written to search engines about rouge employee. (IPs almost banned)

3/2004 spamming continues - reported to corporate - warned about service being discontinued

4/2004 - client advises he is moving site to different ISP, watch on him - per CEO.

That affiliate was told bye bye



Recently I left that company - they immediately linked to a questionable site (incoming and outgoing) They lost all standings in MSN and Yahoo - Google is dropping them like a rock now - My policy of no links what-so-ever was ignored..... (I would write sites linking to the lead collection site and demand they be removed.... The site had 2000 relivant keyword phrases in the top 10 , sooner then they think it will be just another online business card - get the point -

Lotz of false returns -

Wow, thanks for sharing us this link its really nice.

[chatxplanet]

Nice software, cept it gives quite a few false returns. I scanned my own websites (I scanned 5) and out of one (which I absolutely know has no bad links because they are all internal pages lol) that site was flagged for being linked to 7 high-risk sites. So, in my opinion, its a good tool to find or catch potential neighborhood bullies but the usage is severly restricted because it ranks the risk based on the wording in the alt and anchor text and not by scanning the website of the link itself.

bookmark it,.. nice thanks... this could really help...
well as long as you don't link them, theres nothing to worry about...
