Appears that if its actually a penalty a new strategy would be to bring down sites ranked higher than you in se terms? I cant see this being possible as it would be a whole new war out there.
And the same goes for ‘bad backlinks networks’
How is google supposed to sure that the site with the linkback is actually responsible for the ‘bad’ link.
To be totally sure it is not some competitor trying to destroy someone else, the most they should do is ignore the bad link.
