Finding Spam on Your Site

Here’s a quick way to find and eliminate spam on your website.

Type:  popular spam word” site:yoursite.com in Google and analyse the results.  You’ll be surprised, well I was!  I noticed that someone had managed to spam some of my members’ blog comments in my Invision forum blog software.  They had used spam words such as “vi*g*a”, “c*si*o” and “p*nis enlargement”.  Anyway I deleted them right away.

So why is it important to remove spam from your site?  Well, its as simple as this: 

Search engines want to provide the best possible user experience to their users and serving sites that contain spam undermines that goal.

So go on and remove spam from your site today!

Again, the way to do it:

“spam word” site:yoursite.com

where spam word can be something like vi*g*a or any of the spam words found here.

Good luck!
