What is negative SEO?
 
I have heard 2 terms Negative SEO and Reverse SEO? But i am confused in between these 2 terms, as the name suggest “Negative SEO”, it is clear that it is not a Good Practice, so why it is referred so many times, is there any influence of it?

Hi,

Negative SEO attacks can come in a few forms. Generally, negative SEO refers to when one website buys links and points them at a competitor’s website in an effort to torpedo their rankings.
Other instances of negative SEO have included such tactics as hacking a website to inflict some sort of malicious damage on a website, review bombing (pointing a large number of 5-star reviews at a business so it appears they paid for them), or simply by reporting another website’s “black hat” tactics to Google.

Thanks,
Rohit

Negative SEO is using SEO not to boost your site but to drop another site. This usually done by using very bad link that almost guaranteed to give you penalty and point it to competitor's site so their rank will drop.

Yeah, Negative SEO refers to "black hat" tactics witch attack anothers website. The easiest and most common negative SEO is actually fake bad business reviews. If you own a restaurant, and you go online to Yoast and give bad reviews online that are not true, that can be negative SEO.
Also bad backlinks, and some orphan pages can be negative SEO. The most referenced negative SEO was done in America by fan of the Democrat party in the early 2000's. Hundreds of SEO guys teamed up to create links to a picture of George Bush's face and tied the Anchor text to the word "failure." For the longest time you could type "failure" in Google and get the presidents face. Google finally manually removed that SERP. Example of Negative SEO

Have to be a bit of a determined competitor to that -pointing bad links at another web site! Can't believe that's done

Vectorinspector 03-30-2014 04:18 PM

Yeah it's strange. I'd rather spend the time making my site look better and more popular. That never loses value.
