There should be no empty href(#) in website !!
Doesn't sound right from my perspective. The # at the end of the website doesn't matter but overall the link should not disappear.
When buying blackhat services make sure they are google panda and penguin safe and make sure the sellers has a positive reputation and good feedback from other buyers.
Also I don't really suggest Odesk as the quality you can find there is overall appreciated.
I suggest gig based websites with clear direct services from sellers that will deliver everything in a clar report.
Yes, your concern is true, and is an obvious black-hat technique. They have done all possible damage to your site in the name of SEO. Stay away from them and do not approach them again for a repair done, so that they could screw your site to the extent, you will never rank again in SERPs in your life time.
Google is updating its algorithm every day and even now, such black hat techniques being done is pitiful.
Identify a professional SEO provider
For very best SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION results I recommend utilizing Google Search Bot: http://is.gd/gsbsoftware Using this computer software I've got placed my web page to first page of Google on a quite high competing key word.
if you have text links are they are forwarding to another website which is not your page, then they are actually using your website to help other websites. Tell them that you don't want outbound links at all. It's not good for your website ranking as far as Google is concerned.
It definitely sounds shady.
But does he explained to you, what he is planning to do or he just did it?
Hey everyone!
ok i have a question.
i recently hired a SEO company on the website Odesk.com. Its like free lance work.
I hired them to optimize my website and to help with back links.
Well I was checking my website today and i notice that in my paragraph of services, there are links that take people to other websites. They used certain words , i guess its called a text link.
for example the word: contractor.
contractor links to a http:///????? page that is not with in my site.
It is relevant to my business but it doesnt link to another page in my site.
Heres the funny thing!!!
It only happends at certain times.
when you refresh the page the link dissapears!!!
and if i keep refreshing it will reappear!!
and if i refresh again it dissapears!!
The text doesnt dissapear only the link associated with it. You cant scroll over it and click on the text.
When it reappears it is in yellow font color and you can click on it.
When it doesnt appear its just the word and you cant click on it.
ohh yeah and also when the link does reappear my home page, www. mysite.com/ has a # at the end. www. mysite.com/#
My real hompage does not have the # at the end.
Pls let me know waht you think!!
Thanks
