How not to fall under the Google filter?

Question

Google Chrome

Good afternoon!
How to deal with the fact that competitors buy links to your site in order to drive it under Google filters?

Answer 1

In google webmaster tools there is an option to refuse links, you need to select in the backlinks section all the links that they have purchased and refuse them.

Answer 2

No way. Unless you write to google. And where does the information come from that "competitors buy links"? If they are known, you can write them a letter with a proposal to make symmetrical measures. I think this is where it all ends.
And from the category of "logical but not verified." Such methods of black seo are certainly not used on you alone. And for the search engine, this is a problem, how to determine whether you are buying or not. And in my opinion, the most obvious method is not to filter sites with good trust. Since shitty sites, no one will be pessimistic because it's expensive. Therefore, I think the filter works selectively and sites with good positions and history do not fall under such filters. But again, these are my logical assumptions. For sure, no one will risk a trust site for the sake of experiment, so you will not find the data. As an option, you can write a question on Google, how to be in this situation. I am sure that if somewhere you can find a reasonable answer, then this is the answer from the search engines themselves.

Answer 3

ban their links in webmaster
