How To Check Bad Neighborhood Links
Are you worried of your blog getting any google penalty? Google’s advice is to continue provide fresh new contents in order to get good ranking in SERP ranking. They don’t advice us to build links in order to get good ranking. Links should be created organically, means you get backlinks by someone who thinks they need to share your link in appropriate site. It is easy to get good backlinks if our content is good and it may take years to gain only hundreds of backlink organically. So, we take the link building effort from blog commenting, link exchanges, forum posting, social bookmarking, linkbaits, etc to get backlinks. There are several ways to get backlinks and google doesn’t like bad neighborhood types.
There are many still misunderstande the concept of bad neighborhood links and it’s penalty from google. If you get a backlink from bad neighbourhood site that have thousands of links on single page with tons of Viagra, pharma links, it won’t hurt you with penalty or get you any benefits of backlinks. Unless, Google able to detect that you pays that bad neighborhood site to link for you. Of course, we are talking about dofollow links here, otherwise no point of this post. We can get penalty if our blog or website give link to any bad neighborhood sites. For example, if a website A is a link farm and google sees it as a bad neighborhood site. Linking to website A from our blog on sidebar or on blog post with dofollow link can get our site penalized.
Is there a sudden drop in SERP ranking? Do you link to any bad neighborhood websites or blogs? It is not easy to check if our blog have hundreds of external links (not healthy too) on one page. Recently, I found a free tool that can help us to do that. Hope this helps you identify bad neighborhood links on your blog or website easily.

Hi Atniz. Thanks for this tip. I tried the recommended tool and found that I have two Questionable Links. Both are Blog Directory. It seems that I have to do away with the two for the sake of google

“We can get penalty ONLY if our blog or website give link to any bad neighborhood sites.”
If my site is listed in a link farm or bad neighborhood then there will be no penalty for me, BECAUSE this action can also be performed by my SERP competitor..
So If I am competing with ATNIZ blog for keyword “WORK FROM HOME” and submit ATNIZ links on different link farms or B.Ns then it is NOT going to effect on ATNIZ’ Blog health..
It is “YOU” who is responsible for all your deeds by linking to bad sites so check your web pages instead of backlinks!

If we want to drop someone from SERP ranking and get them backlinks from some bad neighbourhood might just your competitors. It will not help to get the penalty unless the competing site gives a link to bad neighbourhood from their website.

Yes, it is. We may not check the sites or URL that we going to link is a link farm. It is good to check our site’s link once in a while for bad links.
