Google has penalized a Japanese link network for violating its webmaster guidelines. According to Google, the link network was involved in paid link building activities for the sole purpose of gaining high rankings in Google’s search results.

Google has become very strict since the past 3-4 years about the malicious link building strategies. The Penguin update was introduced by Google to bring artificial back linking to an end. Since the update, many sites using paid link networks and other black hat methods have been strongly penalized. Last time, a polish link network was penalized in November 2014. In fact, 2014 was the year when Google took severe actions against mobile-spam and artificial redirects.

All the rules to optimize sites in a natural way are listed in the Google webmaster guidelines for the webmasters. Stay tuned to Medialinkers Kennesaw SEO Services for more news.
