The hassles of hiring a person to backlink

The hassles of hiring a person to backlink

Awhile back, I got a very interesting message from a site owner asking that one of his links be removed from my forum. Apparently, someone he hired for SEO had signed up and created a backlink on the profile page of not just my forum but thousands of others. I know this is a very common technique of backlinking, but apparently he got in trouble backlinking in that way and was having to remove or disavow all those links. I can just imagine how much time it took to personally contact all those forums (considering how he had to become a member of the forum to message me and other forum owners). When hiring backlinking services, be sure you know who you are using as they might be out there mass backlinking from unrelated sites that are not helping you in any way. And, if Google drops the hammer on you, then you'll be scrambling to undo as many backlinks as you can.
