      I have got some idiot bombarding my site with spam links, most likely a negative SEO attempt.

      It started off very small and has ramped up to between five and 10 spam links per day.

      I think it may be having a slightly negative affect although difficult to tell.

      I can do a link cleanup, but I'm not sure that is a long term solution, I'm just going have to do it again in a few weeks time.

      Does anyone have any experience?
