Last week I stumbled across a article in the news in my country about Negative SEO.
I love how they act like this is a new trend, it has been going on for many years in the Casino and Sports Betting niches probably since 2000 so they are 14 years late on this story.

Now the most interesting part about this article is the guys company who claims he was hit, I looked at their link profile it looks like self inflicted penalty because they use age old tactics like generic footer links and other crap which is just idiotic.
Like generic anchor break down in the profile is - webmarketingexperts(DOT)com.au
20% - seo
10% - SEO company
And so on with limited branded links all from client sites.
So yeah have a read for a laugh
