The Final Blow TO Negative SEO?

Always i am testing negative and positive seo. So the news about negative seo is totally wrong. I was working on the site from two months only 10 keywords drop but after the new penguin update all keywords drop one 2 keywords showing on the first page. It's still working
 
Here is another confirmation that negative SEO is dead (but manual action is still possible so be careful)

"One example Gary revealed was his looking at a negative SEO case submitted to him, and he said the majority of the links were on “empty profile pages, forum profile pages.” When he looked at those links, the new Penguin algorithm was already “discounting” those links, devaluing those links.

“The good thing is that it is discounting the links, basically ignoring the links instead of the demoting,” Gary Illyes added."

What's interesting is that Google Penguin now looks mostly at your link source, not the target site:

And that’s what Penguin is doing. It’s looking at signals on the source page. Basically, what kind of page it is, what could be the purpose of that link ,and then make a decision based on that whether to discount those things or not.
Gary Illyes made a point to clarify that it isn’t just the link, but rather the “source site” the link is coming from. Google said Penguin is based on “the source site, not on the target site.” You want your links to come from quality sources, as opposed to a low-quality source

So it seems that one of the more interesting features that Penguin Live has brought to Google is the notion of devaluing a link's juice rather than demoting the website it is point to as a whole. The article explains this a bit more, but what it essentially means is if I toss 10,000 spammy web2.0's links with stolen content and all the same few anchors at you it won't harm your site or your page, but rather Google will see the links as shit and simply assign them with the value of zilch. Meaning they essentially are ignored in theory. This is a far cry from how Google once operated where those links would have thrown a red flag and caused action against the whole page or website.

I completely disagree with that assessment and it is so flawed in theory because that would mean that I can simply build as many links as possible to my website, regardless of quality or quantity, regardless of anchor text and everything else, and my site would HAVE to improve in its ranking. Why? Because if links can ONLY ADD VALUE then there would be absolutely no harm in creating every link possible in every way possible - and that would be a huge mistake for Google. Therefore, do not believe for a second that negative SEO is dead because the day that links cannot have a negative impact is the day that anyone can rank any website for any keyword!
