Did You Also Get This ‘Toxic Backlink’ Threatening E-mail?

11 March 2022 By Alan Straton

I have been getting a couple of these over the last few years and generally confine them to the bin but have decided to rather recycle this one as a friendly piece of advice to anyone who may feel the need to comply with this threats.

My sage advice is; “Just DON’T do it!”

The web site comment I received today read as follows:

Hello Sir!

I working for Bizcope SEO company in Bangladesh. My client needing backlinks urgently. So sir, I requesting that you give me a do follow, permanent backlink on your blog. When you are done, please sending me email to confirming. Here is my client website:

https://g********s.com/collections/cbd-edibles-gummies

Plz also creating a 5 star GMB and Trust Pilot reviewings too.

If I do not seeing a backlink in one week, I am create million toxic blog comment spam and redirect backlink to mygqeberha.com and you can saying goodbye to your Google rankings for 1 year or more.

I trust you making correct decision Sir. I giving you 7 days. If I getting link from you, I will also add a back-link to mygqeberha.com on https://h**********d.co.uk/product-category/cbd-gummies/

Best wishes from sunny Bangladesh

Obviously THIS SEO Company is not really up to date with Google who said back in 2018; “We Don’t Need To Notify You Of Bad Links Because We Just Ignore Them. Since the Penguin 4.0 update Google devalues bad links versus demoting the pages they link to.”

Go On – Share the Gqeberha Love!
