That is your annual reminder to cease emailing Google your undetectable hyperlinks, as we coated in 2023. Additionally, a few years in the past, I posted a PSA from Gary Illyes of Google saying Google will use these hyperlink spam emails in opposition to you, so cease emailing them to @google.com electronic mail addresses. Like I stated, this isn’t the primary time Google has stated this. Gary Illyes from Google in 2017 the place somebody emailed him about hyperlink shopping for based mostly on DA. Heck, even in 2016, somebody emailed Matt Cutts with paid hyperlink requests. This additionally occurred in 2012 to a different Googler who was on that group. I’m certain it occurs method too usually. It’s simply not good to ask Googlers who work on Google Search to interrupt their very own webmaster tips.
Discussion board dialogue at X.
