              Clifford-

              Industry.com looks to me like a directory site where you are encouraged to pay for advertising.

              On many pages, it appears that a link like "Label Printer" is just displaying Google Adsense, and trying to get people to click on ads.  (See screenshot.)

              My $0.02 is that the industry.com site appears to me to be a directory, and the kind that Google is trying to penalize people for using for links.  I would avoid this, as it probably won't do a lot to help, and could wind up hurting the site with spammy looking links.

              That said, Industry.com has a 39 domain authority, and 162 linking root domains coming into the site.

                I have a website showing very well with Google right now and this site has a SLEW of back links going to industry.com. I guess it's just a matter of time before Google figures this out and slaps the site with a manual spam application.

                I have had several of my sites slapped and 2 have had the application removed, one is now showing in the #1 and #2 position for the most important terms, the other has not recovered and I am thinking about taking it down and starting fresh with a new domain.

                A third has been slapped and I can not for the life of me to get the manual spam application removed.
