The we had to start from scratch. Giveaways PSDHTML had a number of links from giveaway promotions where users could leave comments in return for a chance to win paid services. Paid reviews of services have a long history of being seen as unnatural by the Google Webspam Team. However it is not necessarily artificial if a company wants to run a giveaway. Since these giveaways didnt have the primary intention of gaining links to influence Google we decided to keep them. Again it wasnt that simple. In the case of at least one giveaway the page had a genuine intention and also contained specific links with artificial elements.
For example here are two links to PSDHTML.com that appeared on the Europe Cell Phone Number List same page The worlds first and finest PSD to HTML conversion company PSDHTML is giving away and worth of services The leading PSD to HTML slicing service has made outstanding changes to the way they do business and provide services.

Therefore the giveaway was not artificial but the keyword link was. In order to deal with this situation we kept all of the giveaway links and the domains they were featured on.
We drilled down to any pages that also had artificial keyword links and disavowed them individually. When Google denied our first request none of the sample links were giveaways. We therefore inferred that wed gotten this one right. Keyword footer links PSDHTML had some sites where theyd done conversion work and gained a keyword link at the footer of the site. This brought up the question as to what degree design firms can legitimately place footer links on client sites. John Mueller talks about this here. The intention idea proved useful here. In.
