Hi

Negative SEO is the reverse of search engine optimization.

Thanks

I think negative SEO is building spam links on competitor's website in order to decrease their ranking deliberately. But I don't totally agree with this technique.

Optimizing your website through black hat techniques called negative SEO

Negative SEO can take a couple of different forms but in general, it refers to someone purchasing links, unnatural links, that are then aimed at a website belonging to a competitor in an attempt to negatively affect their ranking in search engine results. Another negative SEO tactic is to bomb them with 5-star reviews so that it appears that the reviews are paid reviews. When it appears to the search engines that reviews are purchased rather than natural the site can be penalized. Basically, negative SEO is the opposite of using white hat, purposeful SEO strategies to help increase a site or page’s ranking in SERPs. It is done from outside a targeted site to decrease its PageRank. It is a malicious attempt used by competitors. The point is to decrease a competitor’s ranking so that your ranking can move up in the search engine result pages.
