How do you build links to your website? Do you generate links from just a few website types or is your link profile highly diversified? Are you one of those people who still do a GSA blast to generate 5,000 backlinks without any regard for the quality of links?
You see, SEO has changed drastically. Before the Google Penguin and Panda updates, it used to be very easy to spam blogs, generate thousands of low-quality blog comment links and easily rank for moderate to high competition keyword terms.
