Last week we reported that most webmasters are claiming negative SEO is easier now than ever. If you look at the conversation there, you will see it is somewhat of a hot topic.
That being said, since then, one webmaster decided not to just say it works but also said how he implemented the technique. Sadly, it was not too difficult, according to this webmaster.
The steps?
Yea, not rocket science and any SEO who would go about this would likely and logically take these steps.
Does and can it work on most sites? I do not know. I doubt it can work on really well established sites. But on the average mom and pop e-commerce site, sure – why not.
As we said before, negative SEO is not new, in fact, Google has said it is rare but possible since 2007. Sites as large as Expedia may have suffered from it and Google had to reword their documentation on the topic.
