Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have a website showing very well with Google right now and this site has a SLEW of back links going to industry.com. I guess it's just a matter of time before Google figures this out and slaps the site with a manual spam application.

I have had several of my sites slapped and 2 have had the application removed, one is now showing in the #1 and #2 position for the most important terms, the other has not recovered and I am thinking about taking it down and starting fresh with a new domain.

A third has been slapped and I can not for the life of me to get the manual spam application removed.

Is Industry.com a repository for spammy back links or is this a good place for back links? One of my customers has about 59 or so back links there and I'm concerned they are spam

I have done this myself and I see no problem with it at all.

It has been my experience, no.

But a few things I like to keep in mind:

if you have any SEO "juice" associated with your website, try to keep your page descriptions and key words as close to the previous iteration website as you can. This way when search engines troll your site you should keep your status for those keywords.
