        Facing the same issue. My website is almost new, and after completing its on-page SEO, I started its off-page SEO recently. Everything is going well; its DA/DR is increasing, and the spam score was zero. But suddenly its DA drops, and the spam score increases. I am actually unable to understand the reasons...

          Use email verification put CAPTCHA into place keep an eye on user-generated content, and limit spam. Spam can hurt your Google rating instead focus on high quality content stay away from cluttering your site with keywords, and disavow any bad backlinks. Being an SEO Agency we always recommend to preserve SEO integrity evaluate and optimize your website on a regular basis.

            You need to get quality links from other websites and disavow all those backlinks having high spam score.

                  If you're looking to improve your website's Google ranking while minimizing spam, here are some tips to consider:

                  High-Quality Content: Create high-quality, relevant, and informative content that genuinely serves your target audience. Google's algorithms prioritize content that provides value to users.

                  Keyword Optimization: Use relevant keywords naturally in your content, title tags, meta descriptions, and headers. Avoid keyword stuffing, which can be seen as spammy.

                  Mobile Optimization: Ensure your website is mobile-friendly, as Google gives preference to mobile-responsive websites in its rankings.

                  Page Speed: Improve your website's loading speed. Slow-loading websites can result in a poor user experience and lower rankings.

                  User Experience (UX): Focus on delivering a great user experience. Easy navigation, clear calls-to-action, and a clean design can improve user satisfaction, which can positively affect your ranking.

                  Quality Backlinks: Build high-quality, natural backlinks from reputable websites. Avoid spammy or low-quality link-building tactics, as they can harm your rankings.

                  Remember that improving your Google ranking is an ongoing process, and it may take time to see significant results. I apply all these techniques on my website to avoid any spam thing. Always focus on providing a valuable and user-friendly experience, and avoid any spammy tactics that could harm your ranking in the long run.

                    @easyjobber Yes, there are effective tips to reduce spam and its impact on Google rankings. To minimize spam, focus on implementing strong digital marketing strategies and optimizing your SEO. Here are some key tips:

                    Use reputable and secure platforms to host your website.
                    Implement robust security measures to prevent spam comments and fake submissions.
                    Regularly monitor and clean up your website's backlinks.
                    Publish high-quality, relevant content that attracts genuine engagement.
                    Utilize proper meta tags and schema markup for accurate indexing.
                    While spam content can negatively affect rankings, the focus should be on creating valuable, authentic content rather than worrying about the number of words specifically. For more details You can visit to Our Site : link text

                      Link building | SEO Agency Cardiff

                      seo

                      Hello, we have been link-building to the home page for some time now. We believe that we have better on-page SEO than some of our direct competitors. We want to rank for “SEO Agency Cardiff,” but despite building backlinks, building Nap, and writing content marketing, it will not get onto the first page of Google. Despite hundreds of hours spent on it, and all SEO reports saying we are better than some of the companies on there, are there suggestions as to what our agency could be missing? We would be grateful for any SEO advice, as we cant get it onto the first page of Google, despite hundreds of hours, trying get on Google for this keyword "SEO agency Cardiff".

                      I've recently been confused by a marketplace that appears to have significant traction (500K) despite having a very low DR (46). Has anyone experienced something similar and been able to attribute this?

                      Plagiarized Site Effecting Google Rankings

                      seo rankings spam plagiarism duplicate content

                      Can someone provides insights on a de-indexing example? I have gone through the depths of Google lack of support and requesting duplicate content flags, so no avail. Here's the scenario: Client had a competing SEO provider try to earn his business. In doing so, he copied word for word our blog that we have been producing content on over the last 5 years. He also integrated Google reviews in the structured data on this new URL. Well, fast forward 1-2 months later, our rankings started to drop. We found this 100% plagiarized site is taking away from our keyword rankings on GMB, and is no and Google search, and our site GMB is now only displaying on a branded name search as well as our search traffic has dropped. I have identified the plagiarized, duplicated content, being tied to our GMB as well, as the source of the problem. Well, I finally obtain ed control of the plagarized domain and shut down the hosted, and forwarded the URL to our URL. Well, Google still has the HTTS version of the site indexed. And it is in my professional opinion, that since the site is still indexed and is associated with the physician GMB that was ranking for our target keyword and no longer does, that this is the barrier to ranking again. Since its the HTTPS version, it is not forwarded to our domain. Its a 504 error but is still ranking in the google index. The hosting and SSL was canceled circa December 10th. I have been waiting for Google to de-index this site, therefore allowing our primary site to climb the rankings and GMB rankings once again. But it has been 6 weeks and Google is still indexing this spam site. I am incredibly frustrated with google support (as a google partner) and disappointed that this spam site is still indexed. Again, my conclusion that when this SPAM site is de-indexed, we will return back to #1. But when? and at this point, ever? Highlighted below is the spam site. Any suggestions? Capture.PNG
