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.



-------------------------
This technique exists especially after the recent Google updates as competitors know very effective techniques to decrease your ranking.
 
We don't have a control over those though and I too do not agree with this technique. 
 
To make sure that we are not victims of this technique, we need to create a large number of natural back links which we can get by doing white hat SEO. 
 
Make your brand well known in many areas especially to the niche you are trying to rank. Once you have this, people will naturally share your link without you knowing it. Like what we do in YouTube and in Facebook or Twitter.

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.

Generally, negative SEO refers to when one website buys links and points them at a competitor’s website in an effort to turn their rankings upside down. One way is hacking the competitor's website to cause some sort of malicious damage, or simply by reporting another website’s “black hat” tactics to Google.
