Avoid These 3 Types of Harmful Backlinks

Inflated DR

  • Domain Rating (DR) is a 3rd party metric that can be manipulated.

Manipulated Traffic

  • Organic Traffic numbers is SEO tools like ahref or SEMRush can be manipulated, too.

Link-farms

  • Websites that only exist to link to other pages. Often a low ratio of inbound links to outbound links.

Why does it matter?

Not benefitting

  • At its best, low-quality backlinks don’t improve your SEO rankings and will be ignored by Google.

Wasted Opportunity

  • Placing low-quality backlinks means that you wasted your resources. The opportunity cost are high-quality backlinks that improve your SEO.

Harmful

  • You potentially paid for a service that will backfire and decrease your SEO performance.

Overpaying

  • In the end, you are getting ripped of by your link provider.

Non indexed link

  • Link placement on low quality sites often don’t get indexed and therefore noticed by Google.

How I Work – Differently from Most Linkbuilding Agencies

My goal is a natural, high-quality link profile.
That doesn’t come from delivering the same type of link at a fixed pace.

Instead of sending 5 DR 30+ link insertions per month, I strategically distribute your budget across multiple link types.

  • Tactics I Use: Link insertions, guest posts, expert quotes
  • Dynamic Delivery: Not “10 per month” – it varies based on publisher authority
  • Budget Scaling: Higher authority = higher cost. Your budget is fully used each month
  • Verified Metrics Only: No inflated DR, no manipulated traffic
  • Flexible Commitment: Cancel any time, no long-term contracts

Case Study: Taking over link-building from an agency

Decrease in Cost per Link

(with yet, higher link quality)

In spring 2021, a client got hit by a Google Core Update. Brief recovery – then another drop.

Diagnosis:

Toxic backlinks from irrelevant sources (e.g. travel blogs in the Philippines linking to a U.S. finance company).

Solution:

  • Reduced monthly budget from $3,000 → $2,000
  • Despite lower budget: more links, better quality, improved SEO performance
  • After 16 months: back to $3,000 budget → even lower cost per link

Result:

  • Cost per link decreased by 65%
  • Backlink quality significantly improved
  • No negative impact from future Google updates
  • More leads, more revenue – with lower spend

Most common link building issues

Only one link building tactic

Most agencies or link services only provide one type of backlink: either guest posts or link insertions. A natural link profile consists of multiple link types.

Only one backlink metic

Most link services only focus on one backlink metric like DR or in some better case a combination of DR and traffic. The metrics, however, need to be verified.

Not relevant backlinks

Often delivered backlinks aren’t topical or geographical relevant.

Harmful links to fulfill quota

In order to deliver the quoted number of links or to make up for their margin, bad link providers implement bad backlinks to meet the quota.
