Does Webmaster Tools list traffic from ads as inbound links?
- by Mohamad
In Webmaster Tools, under the inbound links section, do ads get counted as inbound links?
I am doing a review of inbound links on a website and found that most of them are sourced from meaningless blogs and spam websites. Before I accuse anyone of not doing their job properly, I would like to know something: Is it possible that those inbound links were generated when an ad for the website appeared on the spam website? An SEO firm was paid handsomly to generate inbound links and I am afraid all they did was submit material to spam blogs and websites.
