There’s no shortage of conventional wisdom on how good SEOs can navigate the potentially dangerous game of web spam detection, in which the search engines and link spammers are constantly trying to outsmart and stay one step ahead of the other.

The trouble is, most of it’s wrong.

In this webcast, link-building expert Eric Ward and AdGooroo CEO Richard Stokes will provide an unprecedented look inside the "black box" of the search engines to 1) reveal the formulas being used to determine quality links from spam and 2) debunk the myths surrounding page rank, keyword density, title length, anchor text, word length, high value advertising terms and more.

Attend this webcast and learn:

  • Which factors matter most in determining quality links from web spam that can hurt your rankings
  • How to identify "borderline" as well as blatant web spammers (and keep your backlinks away from their sites)
  • How SEOs can take advantage of this knowledge to fuel winning link building strategies and optimize natural search traffic
