How can I check my website is not in spam?
-
I have a blogging website where I post about famous food, home remedies, and more. When I started my website's keywords were ranking on Google But Now a single keyword is not in the ranking list. That's why I have concerns about how I can fix it.

Verify your website with search engines like Google and Bing, look for broken links, and maintain high-quality content to avoid being flagged as spam. Make use of tools such as Google Search Console to monitor the health of your website. Make sure that your website does not contain spammy keywords, excessive ads, or irrelevant backlinks. Maintain a mobile-friendly website and update it regularly to ensure an optimal user experience.

To ensure your website emails don’t land in spam, follow these steps: set up proper email authentication with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to verify your domain. Regularly check your domain’s reputation using tools like Google Postmaster or Talos Intelligence. Avoid spammy content, maintain a clean email list, and test your emails with tools like Mail Tester. Also, ensure your domain isn’t on any blacklists via MxToolbox. If you’re in pest control like APS Pest Service, these steps can help improve deliverability and keep communications effective and professional.

If your keywords have dropped, it might be time for a little website TLC.
Start by refreshing old content to keep it relevant and appealing—Google loves that. Check for any algorithm updates you might’ve missed (they happen more often than we’d like), and make sure your site is fast and mobile-friendly.
Also, take a look at your internal linking; connecting your blog posts helps Google crawl your site better. If you’ve lost backlinks, that could be hurting your authority, so try to build new quality links.
Lastly, revisit your keyword strategy—what worked before might need some tweaking now. With a few updates, you should start seeing improvements.

If your website’s keywords were previously ranking on Google but have now disappeared, it’s possible that your site may have been flagged as spam or experienced other SEO issues. Here are some steps to check and address this:Check for Google Penalties: Use Google Search Console to check if your site has received any manual action penalties. Google may flag your site if it detects spammy practices, duplicate content, or unnatural backlinks.
Analyze Your Backlink Profile: Examine your website’s backlinks using tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush. If you have low-quality or spammy backlinks, it could harm your ranking. Disavow any suspicious or irrelevant links.
Content Review: Review your website content for quality and relevance. Ensure that your articles, like those about famous foods and home remedies, provide value and are not over-optimized with keywords. Google prefers content that is helpful, original, and user-centric.
Check Site Speed and Performance: Slow-loading pages or mobile unfriendliness can also affect rankings. Run tests on Google PageSpeed Insights and make improvements to speed up your site.
Fix On-Page SEO: Ensure your meta tags, headers, and internal linking structure are optimized for SEO. Sometimes outdated or improperly structured on-page SEO can lead to ranking drops.
Submit a Reconsideration Request: If you find your site has been penalized, you can fix the issues and submit a reconsideration request to Google.
Lastly, consider diversifying your backlinks. For example, using high-authority, trustworthy sites as a reference when discussing luxury services or travel can help strengthen your SEO profile naturally.
By following these steps, you can begin to resolve the issue and work toward restoring your website’s keyword rankings on Google.

When I first launched my site, Bermuda Unicorn, I faced the same concern about whether my website might be considered spam. To address this issue, I implemented several strategies that helped me maintain a healthy reputation:
Google Search Console: I began by setting up Google Search Console to monitor my site’s performance and check for any manual actions or messages indicating spammy behavior.
Blacklist Checks: I used tools like MXToolbox to verify if my domain was listed on any spam blacklists. This was a crucial step to ensure my site remained reputable.
Backlink Profile Analysis: I regularly analyzed my backlink profile using Moz’s Link Explorer and Ahrefs. This helped me identify and disavow any low-quality or suspicious links pointing to my site.
Monitoring Analytics: I kept a close eye on my Google Analytics data, tracking traffic patterns and bounce rates to spot any significant changes that could indicate a problem.
Seeking Community Feedback: Engaging with communities like Moz allowed me to get valuable feedback on my website. It helped me understand how others perceived my site.
Content Quality Review: I routinely reviewed my content to ensure it met high-quality standards, avoiding duplicate content and keeping it relevant to the NFT space.

It’s frustrating when keywords that once ranked well suddenly drop off. A few things could be causing this shift. First, have you analyzed any recent algorithm updates? Google’s changes can impact rankings, even for well-optimized sites. Also, consider the competitiveness of your niche; other sites might be outperforming yours if they’ve updated their content or improved their SEO.
I recommend doing a full site audit, focusing on both content and technical SEO. Make sure your posts are still relevant, engaging, and properly optimized for current search intent. Updating or expanding content to match recent trends can also help.
I run a blog where I share posts about famous food, menu prices, and more. Keeping my content fresh has helped me bounce back from ranking drops.

So, to do this, we recommend hiring an seo consultant for a few hours to create a bespoke SEO report.
You need to check the quality of the links on your website, and ensure that none of the text is not duplicated, plus they need to do many other SEO checks.
-
To check if your website is flagged as spam, you can:
Use Google Search Console: Look for any security issues or manual actions.
Check Blacklists: Use tools like MXToolbox or Sucuri to see if your site is on any blacklists.
Review Site Content: Ensure your content adheres to best practices and doesn’t include spammy tactics.
Monitor Your Site’s Reputation: Tools like Moz’s Spam Score can help assess if your site is flagged as spammy. -
i also have the same issue. when i made my site live it ranked on primary keywords over the last two months all those keywords have just disappeared. and i do not have a clue.

Is there a tool to check the SEO performance of articles from different websites?
Is there a tool to check the SEO performance of articles(like 100+ articles) from different websites in one place? I am looking for a tool where I can put several URLs of the articles we have published in bulk for many of our clients, and it can show me how those articles are performing. This way, we can check the performance of these articles at any time; there is no need to add URLs every time.

Relevant but not-relevant keywords impact to SEO
Hello, I would like to know if the selection of individual keywords(that are not primary, secondary or tertiary) are important for SEO regardless of the relevancy to the page topic. I am wondering how much of a contribution a non-P1/P2/P3 can make in terms of SEO? For example it is a product page and I have built my content with P1,P2&P3 based only on the product and its properties itself. Do you think that a content gap for the page could be the production process of that product? So even if it is a product and its properties page, I can add 2 sentences about the production, so that I can drive more traffic by including these 2 informative sentences.? EXAMPLE:
Keyword Research | | Siir
So lets' say my topic is "hair types" (P1) and my subtopics are "Straight," "wavy," and "curly"(P2s) which I used as subtitles. But throughout the page, I am planning to add some relevant but not-directly-relevant keywords here and there since they have high metrics and volumes. For example a potential sentence I can add: "innovative hair products these days can offer amazing results for the desired hair types". It is not specifically about "hair types" but I am using the keyword "innovative hair products" (good metrics keyword) which may help for the traffic... Another potential not-so-direct sentence can be: "For all hair types, the hair damages are common: heat damage, chemical damage and mechanical damage". Would adding this extra sentence where I am not specifically talking about "hair types" (my topic) but "hair damages" and damage examples (off-topic high metric keywords) help me to drive traffic to my website? And how much of an impact would it be?0 -
Google search console 380,000 spam backlinks
Hi guys, I recently suffered a major negative seo attack against my site, with more than 380K spam backlinks using more than 5k domains. Because of this, I'm having serious problems tracking my site's statistics in GSC due to the limit of only 1000 query lines. Please, I need help on how I can get access to all these 5,000 domains in the search console so I can create a disavow list. Any tips on how to clean this up?

Ok to have multiple domains w/ seperate websites rank for similar keywords?
Is it Ok to have multiple domains (separate website different content) rank for similar keywords? Is it 'OK' to have multiple domains in the following instance? Does Google actively discourage multiple (but completely different sites) domains from the same company appearing in the search results for the same and or similar keywords if the content is slightly different? This is where the 'main site' has the details, and you can purchase product, and the second site is a blog site only. We are creating a separate content blogsite; which would be on a second domain that will be related to one portion of content on main site. They would be linking back and forth, or maybe the blog site would just link over to the main site so they can purchase said product. This would be a similar scenario to give you an idea of how it would be structured: MAIN SITE: describes a few products, and you can purchase from this site SECOND SITE, different domain: a blog site that contains personal experiences
SEO Tactics | | fourwhitesocks
with one of the products. BOTH sites will be linked back and forth....or as mentioned maybe the blog site could just link over to the 'main site' Logo would be a modified version of the main logo and look and feel of the sight would be similar but not exactly the same. MORE INFO: the main site has existed for way over 10 years, starting to gain some traction in an extremely competitive market, but does not rank super high, is gaining traction due to improvements in speed, content, onpage SEO, etc... So in addition to my main question of is this 'ok' to have this second domain, also will it hurt the rankings or negatively affect the 'main' site, will we have duplicate content issues? ** If this is not the right place to ask this then where should I be asking?
Thank you!0 -
Should we remove a keyword from the base URL?
We have a client that we are rebuilding their website and they are thinking about dropping one word from the current base URL. That particular word is one of the keywords we are trying to rank for. Do you think that because one of our keywords is in the current domain name that it would be a mistake to change it to just the brand name without the extra keyword added on?

Unsolved Can I get Moz keywords via API?
Hi, my boss is asking if you "have any API for keyword research -- e.g., as soon as a user creates a card title in [our application], we can auto-recommend keywords from Moz within [the application]. I shared a link with him to your Links API page, but he says he doesn't think that API does the above. Can you help? Thank you, Renae

Unsolved Are my local pages watering down my website?
We operate in multiple cities, and for a number of years, have (mostly successfully) targeted each city with its own landing page. But lately Im seeing these pages drop in rankings, If I ignored SEO tactics, and designed the site based on what I think would be most useful/helpful to people viewing the website, I would not have any location landing pages. I would have one strong page (eg, probably the home page), that says "and we operate in the following locations..." and then list them off. The thing is, I dont really think these location specific landing pages have ever offered any real value to someone searching, other than just making it clear that we operate in their area (which doesn't need a landing page to make that clear). They're basically variations of each other, key word adjusted for the location - done for the purpose of ranking locally. I mean, that sounds like spam. But all the research says that I need landing pages for each location. My question: What would happen if I built one new page, and listed all the locations clearly on that page, and then 301 redirect the existing location landing pages to the new, single page. Would I fall of the cliff?

Silo Structure Question
Hi guys I'm trying to implement silos on a new website. I'm confused. SEO experts say you should first research all your keyphrases (done that) and then only create 1 page per keyphrase. I can see this makes sense if you did e.g. Italian Cooking - then did sub posts like Norther Italian Cooking, Vegetarian Italian Cooking etc - because those sub posts also contain the main keyphrase 'Italian Cooking'. Where I get confused, is they then have pages e.g. Pasta Dough. I can't quite see the benefit of having a sub post that is essentially about something (semantically) unrelated to the main page keyphrase we are trying to optimize on. I could understand doing a post e.g. 'Pasta Dough in Italian Cooking'. That page would be related and I can then see how the links from that page would have relevance for Google. But just Pasta Dough? In 1 siloing example I saw a main topic of Websites. Under that they had things like Website Design, Website Building, which make sense. Then they have 'Online Shop' as a sub-post. It's only related if you know it's related. Am I missing the point here? Is the point NOT to necessarily create pages related to the exact keyphrase, but instead create pages with a view to creating relevant links on those subpages to the main page? I hope someone understands the confusion here. I think my head is still stuck in mininets from 20 years ago 🙂 Any help would be very appreciated, many thanks.
