The dashboard widget showed 16\/20 for backlinks and 15\/25 for algorithm.<\/p>\n<p>Site 2 has a clean backlink profile and by that I mean the links were generated naturally and are on reputable websites. The dashboard widget showed 18\/20 for backlinks and 16\/25 for algorithm. All content is original and my attempts to find duplicates scraped by other websites found nothing, yet the plugin reported 18\/25 for content. <\/p>\n<p>Site 3 was a site used for testing blackhat SEO techniques and had a google penalty 2 years ago. The plugin shows 7\/25 for algorithm.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion: The plugin is used to generate business.
