How can the non-spamming guys stand a chance against the spammers?

  • If a certain company has already done spamming but is considering cleaning up and doing the right thing, they must undergo the long process of removing the spammy inbound links on their page and submit to Google a reconsideration request.
  • Google team always finds a way to fight spamming activities. They ensure that the line between the things you do outside their guidelines to rank well become thinner and smaller.
  • Build links that survive the test of time. Matt Cutts suggests spending your valuable time in figuring out getting hard links better than focusing your time on searching for fast links.
  • Before outsourcing to an SEO company, make some researches on their background, check their references, and let them explain in detail what they can do and what they should do for you.

To get a better SEO ranking, you should:

  • Create a page containing valuable, unique and original content in order to avoid spams and have a good chance at search results and page ranking.

  • Abide by Google online marketing guidelines and rules to avoid the tedious and long process of cleaning up your website.
