But it also means there's nothing to lose and everything to gain by buying links for your own domain. Which would probably make the practice much more widespread.
- adventured 13y agoInitially it would. If Google is any good at scoring links webmasters would quickly figure out the non-benefit and would stop. And Google could feel free to be overly harsh in making links neutral in value. Better to miss to the middle, than to miss to the negative and punish good sites being bombed with spam links by competitors. Aka first do no harm.

Well, nothing to lose except money: to discourage this, you just have to have links-of-unknown-quality produce no benefit, and links-with-positive-quality provide positive value; this is better than links of unknown value providing positive value and links with negative quality providing negative value.
