Hello IMTer's,
Was wondering if you could give me advice, let's say you are a web design company and have made over 6,000 websites and more than 5,000 of those sites you made have a back link in the footer for the same keywords such as the following:
Affordable Web Design, Hosting and SEO by XXXXXXXXX
Affordable Web Design, Hosting and SEO are linking back to our company web site. Will this cause a massive penalty?
The links are just the company taking credit for designing these sites but I was thinking surely this is not a good idea anymore right?
Thanks Guys
PS. Never Really Thought About It Till I Decided To Make Changes To The Company Website But We Have Been Leaving Links On Customers Websites For Years.
We are currently on page 5 for Web Design Warrington and I am sure it used to be on page 1, could it be a 50% ban from Google? should I have those back links changed out?
