| You could be attacked by a spam network, making you lose over 50% traffic in 3 months. There's lots of spam sites like twilightontheolympicpeninsula, codegrepper, everythingtutorial, bestappsfinder etc (everything dot com). The network that's attacking me has over 10.000 sites (you can discover their whole network using a backlink checker like ahrefs) What can you do about these type of attacks? Nothing. The only way to mitigate this is the disavow tool, but it may take 4 weeks or longer for those domains to disappear. In the meantime, more and more of those spam sites are getting linked. It is not a rare occasion either, I found the entire niche (and others) are getting these types of attacks. Changing the Google rankings of the entire niche. So many of those spam domains are being added that no amount of content writing makes your rankings go up. Reporting to hosting, police etc is useless. Why Google allows spam networks to decide the Google ranking is beyond me. So what you should know about SEO is that it's unreliable. Spam networks decide the Google ranking now. |
