Free Classified Backlinks & Google
-
Is there a risk that Google will de-index your site or lower your ranking if you have too many backlinks from free classifed sites? I would just use 1 free ad per classified website. Thanks.

I'm not sure if it would de-index your site BUT it will definately not help. You need a balanced link profile from good authority sites with both followed and no follow links (obviously more followed). If you just have a link profile with just followed links and they are all from directory sites (which tend to have low authority - not all but most) you will risk google penalising you.
I would recommend creating a balance strategy to link buidling. Posting in Blogs with a high readership and good reputation, joining a popular and well used forum and actively get involved, a hand full of directories with non spammy links, social sites, news or information sites (email them and ask for a link).... These are just a few ideas... Also you want to make sure your links are balanced and use a variety of different anchor text and not overly optimised keyword text.
Google's algorithm is updated 100's of times a year so you never know when they will start penalising a certain type of link or text or tags etc...
EDIT: Found something that shows a great idea for a strategy and I strongly success you read it!

Will Google penalize for backlinks on non-indexed pages?
Have a client who has a bunch of links from spammy sites that aren't even indexed by Google. Will Google penalize (i.e. Penguin) for backlinks from spammy sites that aren't indexed? I'm guessing "Yes, Google still crawls non-indexed sites and may penalize the sites linked to from the banned site." Anyone have any data or experience with this? Anyone have a non-indexed or banned site? Does Google still crawl it?

Backlinks: What are they really and how can I create them.
I am relatively new to the SEO world, and I want to build backlinks linking to our main site. My preferred way to create backlinks is by adding them in my blog comments or forum responses. I am an active participant in a large number of blogs/forums related to our field and I would like to add relevant backlinks in the comments/answers I post. I originally thought that a backlink was just a link, but none of the links that I have added to blogs like that have been recognized as backlinks. https://www.dynaread.com/ Why is this so? I know now that good backlink would be something like: Dynaread is a science based dyslexia remediation program for older struggling readers. However I have no idea how to add this types of links to blog comments or forum pages where there is no link tool. Do I have to do something with HTML? Please explain briefly what a backlink really is and most importantly how I can create them. Thank you in advance for your help! Joy P.S if you have suggestions about some resources where I can learn more about the subject please let me know. I love to learn more.

How to remove backlinks?
Hey guys, With all this anti over optimization movement going around with Google, I decided to do a link building profile audit. I see some pages with PR 0 and some pages that expired. My websites are not penalized at this moment, however I do want to avoid this at all costs. What can I do? Could a backlink from an expired domain penalize my site?
