Anyone have a collection or list of spammy websites?
-
Random I know. I started a fun pet project at www.me-not-spammer.info. Total spam. Totally says it's not spam. Satire and all, something only SEO people will get really.
Anyway I want to make a sidebar of other "not spammers" and need to find a bunch of spammy websites. Problem is they don't rank in search engines obviously so I know of only the ones who leave comments on some of my wordpress sites.
Anyone have a list of a bunch of them so I can link to them in my blogroll?
-
Hey there! So while I don't have a list of spammy websites here's a general overview of how I analyze whether or not a website is spammy or not:
- Does the website have a high Spam Score when running it through Moz's Link Explorer?
- Does the website have an alternative TLD? (ga, rn, cl)
- Does the website have a low domain authority?
- Does the website use similar templates to others that are possibly low quality?
- Does the website cover a topic that's totally unrelated to the linking site?
- Is the website part of a blogspot link network?
- Does the website pass the "eye test" and look like it could be useful for users?
Of course one or two of these qualities does not make a site low quality but raises a flag that it could be. For me if a site has multiple factors that make it low quality and doesn't appear to pass the "eye test", then I might consider it a spammy domain. You can then submit all spammy domains to your disavow file.

Wow! You must have plenty of time on your hands.
It would be interesting to see how it ranks - if you choose to track it,,,
Sorry I can't help with a list.

Is it ok to have two blogs for my website?
Hi Pep's The blog for my website is integrated, but does not have a URL that matches the text. The company I use for my site say that it can't be changed. Basically it displays numbers instead of text in the url. So I thought, what about starting another blog as well as the original. Would this have any effects on my SEO, negative or positive? Any advice greatly appreciated! 🙂

Breaking a Big Website into Multiple Unrelated Sites
I have a big cluttered website that I want to simplify. There is content for patients, researchers, therapists who are looking for grants, etc.. Would it be a bad ideas to turn these into 3 or more, completely different sites with each focused on their specific demographic? Or should I just figure out how to organize the one site better? Thanks for your help!!!

Multiple listings for the same product - how to avoid duplication?
Hi everyone, We are working on an e-commerce site that has three different physical stores that each hold different products in stock. A listing is created on the website for each product in each location but if the same product is in all three stores the images and description are duplicate content We can't have one product page and tag locations to it as this would then require keeping two different stock systems updated, but is there a way to avoid the three pages being duplicates of each other? Many thanks for the advice!

Best Websites to help discover Topics
Hi I know I can use Twitter and latest posts on Google & Blogs, but I was wondering what are the best tools at the moment to use if you are looking to write about up to the minute information about a certain topic. Say the topic is London, is there a website or tag cloud to understand what people are saying about London right now? Anything better than Social Mention?

My WebSite has two sections with overlapping, or redundant articles on the same topics. Google is only listing one or the other article in Search Results. What should I do to have both pages (similiar but unique content ) to be listed?
