Spammy Links are no longer tolerated Gone are the years when website owners could easily get away posting a spammy link pointing back to their domain as a forum post or an article in an article directory, but with Google’s latest algorithm, such tactics are no longer tolerated and Google would neutralize the value of the link if they detect a pattern of spammy links. Additional links from same domain is no longer valuable Links from different domains has more value compared to additional links from the same domain. This is because links that comes from different domains assures more credibility for the website whereas additional links from the same domain indicates more authority. Even though same domain links still have some value, it does not have the same appeal as it used to have during earlier years.
