Could I be the victim of negative SEO?
-
While I was searching for bad links to one of my website, I realized that there were lots of backlinks from trackbacks on various blogs.
Most of these trackback links are definitely spammy as they are not relevant with the blog topics and they use exact anchor text.
The thing is that I am 300% sure that it has nothing to do with any SEO campaign services I've bought in the past. They link back to pages I've never optimized at all.
So could I be the victim of a negative SEO campaign? What do you think?

Actually there is something you can do about it. This may help:

It looks like someone used a commenting bot on your site.... Not much you can do about it
so if it was not you or your seo company than probably a competitor

For instance, have a look at http://www.sellburberryhandbag.com/blog/?p=67
You'll see that all comments and trackbacks are spammy. One of them is pointing to my website.
What is this crap?!?

Domain vs. page SEO
Hi I'm new to SEO and trying to optimize one of my pages. However this page that I'm trying to optimize is not the homepage. Does it mean that since I have collected links from other pages to my homepage that the specific page I'm trying to SEO doesn't get any "link juice"? And how could this situation be corrected? Is the only way to get direct links to the page I'm trying to optimize?
