More Strategies to Safe-Guard Your Site From Negative SEO
The term Negative SEO is not a new one in the field of SEO, but from the initial period spammers are practicing the same. If a site is unable to reach at the top, than it will be easy to bring down others i.e. competitor sites, to be at the top of the ranking. Google is still updating its algorithm to stop such corrupt practices, but when there will be more rules, there will be more ways to exploit them.
There were several strategies made by Google and the spammers. When Google started to demoralize the sites which have low quality links, spammers started to purchase links at high bid and when Google stressed upon user reviews, spammers started to utilize the way of making millions of fake reviews. But still Google has the opinion that no spammer or competitor can harm one’s ranking as Google algorithm has been updated.
At the earlier stage of SEO, Google was not so sure that it can do it, but now Google thinks that it is possible to make such effort to stop completely the spammers.
• Know about Negative SEO: - In the field of SERP real estate, there are limited strategies, like if you win, and then there is someone who has lost. The idea behind negative SEO is very simple. You have to do enough harm to your competitor sites, they will certainly be down and you will be at the top. Nowadays except proper SEO, negative SEO has become more popular. Though Google is trying its best to control the situation the picture is widening day by day. There are several tricks of negative SEO and you must know them to protect your site from such hidden threats.
1. Duplicate Content: - it was quite earlier that spammers started content scraping from other especially competitors’ sites which are at the top and by republishing them anywhere else bring the duplicity issue. In such cases the original publishers are generally punished in some cases. Earlier there was Google panda, after that Google has launched Penguin. This update was made in February 2011 to grab the duplicate content issue.
2. Reputation Spam: - This is another issue to damage a popular brand or service. Spammers usually engage themselves to launch negative reviews and comments.

4. Link Spam: - This was the most common trick to bring drawback for a site. After launching of Penguin the situation has been quietly controlled. The trick is that there should be uncountable low quality links or spammy links and a reputed site may experience a lower rank. Google has updated its algorithm to alert the sites that have such spammy links. You have to aware while link building and the bad kinks should be checked well very frequently.

It is a very debatable issue. Google is updating its algorithm at the highest possible measures. It is quite impossible to think about negative SEO, but the site owners should have to alert about such hidden threats.
Some of the clients have reported that they have experienced negative SEO regarding non
SEO server attacks and click through rate spam. Generally, these types of cases are rare, but one should know about all the possibilities.

2. Reputation Spam: - Many jealous competitors should take the steps of negative reviews to make you down. To keep the matter you may use the tool namely Social Mention. Otherwise you may contact the reviewer to remove such negative sense from the respective sites. In case of Yelp the task will be quite hard as Yelp is quite strict of removing such reviews.
3.
