Is it possible for a competitor’s site to manually harm my site’s SEO position?
Posted by on November 19, 2024 at 11:49 amIs it possible for a competitor site to manually harm my site's SEO position? My site was very good in SEO, but even though my content and services were better and more suitable than my competitors, my position suddenly started to drop. How can a competitor site manually harm me? Can you give an example?

Of course it is possible, that’s called negative seo. It exists but a few people actually do that because it is lame. But I would suggest that you could have been hit by a Goog’e update. There are a lot of them nowadays and sometimes it can harm your website without a clue about why. At least without a decent analysis.

Not enough experience there but I’m thinking: what if a customer purchase for your domain a lot of toxic backlinks ?
Have you check ahref did your DA change?
It’s also possible that they just improved there SEO , and did no harm.

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
