Link impact on ranking.

Big weekend for the seo world. I started noticing ranking drops last week around Thursday. I noticed the company I work for now has a lot of links to m.biz. It has been said in the past that these do not negatively impact seo, but I am thinking that is incorrect now...thoughts??

  • Greg Baka: We disavow any junk domains (like m.biz) that suddenly appear with dozens or hundreds of links. They are easy to find in GWT by running the "Most Recent Links" report. Better to be safe than sorry...
  • Blade S: John Mueller from Google, said: "Usually we can recognize this kind of duplication, but if you want to be absolutely sure that they’re not counted... then adding them to a disavow file is generally relatively easy to do."

    I would disavow them if I were you. I don't trust that Penguin so much...
