Optimisation and SEO Spam Mass
Link development & Spam mass
09 Nov 05: Four extremely intelligent Californians, Zoltan
 Gyongyi, Pavel Berkhin, Hector Garcia-Molina, and Jan
 Pedersen, released a whitepaper discussing a possible
   method to identify links from spam domains. Their
method sheds light on some very interesting ideas on how
    Google might judge the quality of inbound links.
Good links Vs Bad links
Since the Jagger update, Google seems to be emphasizing
link relevance and link quality a lot more. While relevance
    is pretty straight forward to understand, quality of an
      inbound link may be a foreign subject to those not
 involved in search engine marketing as part of their daily
 lives. So let's first discuss good links versus bad links. Not
   all links are equal. Links from popular sites carry more
        weight than links from virtually unknown sites.
It is a well-known fact that Google's initial success lay in
their ability to find websites and rank them based on links
 from other websites. As Google's popularity grew, some
  webmasters tried to outsmart the Google algorithm by
    falsely inflating the importance of their website with
     unnatural inbound link development. Links that are
    developed in such a way, with the mere intention of
   fooling Google's algorithm to gain higher rankings are
                   considered to be bad links.
What is Spam Mass?
The research team from California devised a term - spam
mass - to denote the ratio of good links to bad links for any
website. Simplisticly speaking, if 60% of the inbound links
    to a website originate from spam domains - domains
  identified to be built solely for the purpose of artifically
  inflating a website's popularity - then the spam mass of
                    the site would be 60%
Ranking is not that simple, though, and variables such as
PageRank, relevance, age etc creep in to complicate such a
  calculation. However, the idea bears a lot of potential
       from which further ideas can be developed.
Applying Spam Mass to Search Engine Marketing
- Why reciprocal link exchanges can pull down your site
                          rank
When optimising a site for better search engine ranking,
    most webmasters and search engine optimisers will
 actively seek inbound links from third party websites to
their site. A very simple way to get these inbound links, in
  the past, was to exchange links with other site owners.
 The problem arises when most of your inbound links are
from sites whose own PageRank is also influenced by link
                         exchanges.
Google is getting better at recognizing when search engine
    optimisation relies on spammy link development to
   improve rank. The principles Google uses to do so, are
 likely to be based on concepts similar to spam mass. For
  example the Google system can differentiate links from
good domains and spam domains. If the PageRank of your
   site is mostly due to links from spam sites, Google will
  accordingly devalue your PageRank, discount any effect
     from inbound links from the spam domains and, in
 extreme cases, label your domain as a spam domain too!
All of this can lead to a reduction in your site's rank on the
                        search results.
How to avoid Google penalties for spam links
The easy answer to this is always "build your site for
people, not for search engines". That doesn't mean you do
not carry out the necessary search engine optimisation. It
   just means that you should not indulge in unnatural
practices to artificially influence rank. Ideally, let your site
     and rank grow as if it were a natural progression.
