      Hey everyone, how is the website below ranking so high for everything with his website? His link profile is spam junk, he uses forums and hides backlinks in smiles and quotes. Plus the guy even seems to be hitting all the competition websites with bad backlinks etc.

      It seems he is jus using automated tools to build tons of backlinks.

      Why isn't Google picking this site up and doing something about it?

      Search google for "advanced warfare hacks" he shows up on top.

      Same for "titanfall hacks"

      Same for "ghosts hacks"

      Check his link profile and sneaky ways, his main site is hackerbot [dot] net

        Based on what you're saying (and the evidence I see) it looks as if he is participating in some problematic behavior. Hiding backlinks in most forums isn't a particularly big issue as most are no-follow links and therefore confer little value, especially when "hidden".

        From the looks of it this page was put together relatively recently and may have been crawled and indexed before he started building his link profile. It is likely that he will be caught over time if he continues with this approach and eventually penalized. You could also make a manual request using Webmaster Tools to have Google crawl his site ASAP if you believe his methods are under-handed.

        It seems like he has a lot of unique content which would attract users for those specific terms, and the signals Google is getting from the site might outweigh the poor link profile. He might also have some powerful links amongst all the rubbish of his profile, or his negative SEO is having ill effects on his competition.

        If I am being honest, I have seen worse link profiles on sites that did equally well - that being said there are more factors than just back linking to take into account when it comes to SERP rankings.
