Black Friday Backlink Sale

There are tons of these Black Friday deals in the SEO industry floating around now. Here is one that Google's John Mueller responded to in a funny way. The deal was 20% off backlinks on Black Friday. John Mueller said "20% off of a site's blackhat backlinks is a good start, but if you have a manual action, I'd recommend going to 100%."

Here are the tweets:

Just to be clear, John is not saying get these links for free but remove 100% of your black hat links pointing to your web site, espesially if you have a manual action. Do not buy links, even if they are on sale. :)
