There are various websites which offers you the authority to comment in its videos or songs or articles or any other thing. Am sure of the fact that you have come across several sites which give this right to the visitors but some of the comments are real gibberish and full of abuses. These things are mainly done by the webmasters who has got a website based on the same subject. His main aim is to misuse the comments box of that website to portray a bad image of his competitor. He also does paste links of his website in those comment boxes which makes him think that it will boost his website’s ranking in the search engine indexes.

In order to tackle this dreadful practice of web designers to tarnish the image of a good quality website and improve his website’s performance, search engine’s has thought of means to handle it. Different search engines across the world including Google are incorporating the feature in their algorithm that will back track these links to the website. In that way it will get to know about which websites are using this dubious method to smear the names of other website(s) and will also make them pay for their doing.
