Cloaking backlinks

Hey everyone,

I've been looking all over the web for an answer but to no avail. Since Penguin 4.0 rolled out my competitors took over the top positions. I've studied their backlink profile and they're not even hiding anything. Pure web spam profile, which brings out the question - Is the big G still penalising spammy profiles?

I've reported them to the web spam team but all that is happening is my competitors rank up higher, which brings me to another question - is css backlink cloaking effective in 2017?

I don't know about issues CSS to make backlink be the best

Its depends on there Radar or manual review how they take spam . many factors are involve in it.

You reported your competitors for a spammy backlink profile? Maybe you are on the wrong forum.

css backlinks is very outdated. google is so smarter than that- i suggest you try some other ways.
