To find infected sites you could use Google’s Safebrowsing tool. Start with a random website and then click to a network under ‘This site was hosted on x network(s)including…’.

Some great ideas here, thanks for sharing. The “attack and no longer available” methods are new to me and I’ll be sure to try them.

Thanks for the linkbuilding information. Heard much about ‘do follow’ and ‘no follow’, but, would you please tell me that whether ‘no follow’ links have got any advantage or not in terms of SEO?

I was wondering if the results given by bad-neighborhood.com/text-link-tool.htm include the bad ip neighbour hood, any suggestions would be appreciative, thanks.

Another possible way to find some “bad” links to good sites is to use the bad neighborhood tool at http://www.bad-neighborhood.com/text-link-tool.htm on spammy link and directory pages, it might be useful in a case like this, though I haven’t really used it in that capacity. Seems like if you could find these it would be a very easy sell for a link.

@Roland: All link building is hard work. Thanks for the safebrowsing suggestion.

@Adam: You’re missing the point. Mine their backlinks and look for the gems don’t just try for every link they have. Some of theses attack sites started out “clean”, that is, they built up their popularity before turning to the dark side. Some sites’ also get labeled “dangerous” accidentally too in which case their backlinks are good, they’re just having some “issues” (which you can capitalize on). Spammy links are easy to find/get. I’m talking about digging deeper than that.

Aren’t you worried about spammy inbound links with Viagra etc negatively effecting your pages? I was under the impression that relevancy, and authority was more important than general spammy links. Then again when I look at some guys pages with over 11 inbound hits I know it’s not all pertinent.

Interesting tactic 🙂 To find infected sites you could use Google’s Safebrowsing tool. Start with a random website and then click to a network under ‘This site was hosted on x network(s) including…’. It is not difficult to find networks with lots of infected websites this way. But it will still be hard work to find the relevant sites with interesting backlinks, I am afraid.
