Reply To: Is it possible for a competitor’s site to manually harm my site’s SEO position?

he can place spammy backlinks but honestly I dont know for sure, he prolly has to place links that also up your rankings and when google comes with a manual review they give you a penalty. Ive been hacked and i had spam backlinks but it didnt mean much for my ranking. In other words they gotta be pretty clever, maybe if they buy alot of fiverr services and point it to your website
