            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.

                      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

                          Google not listing website correctly

                          google listing seo website submission

                          have a domain that was unused for a while and displayed the "parked by Gandi" domain message. Recently, I decided to set up a fully working website on that domain, but I'm struggling to get it to rank correctly on Google. Google isn't updating the http://domain.com to the correct https://www.domain.com, and I have tried everything. The http://domain.com redirects to https://www.domain.com if you click on it. I managed to get the correct version, https://www.domain.com, to show up, but after a couple of days, it reverted to the old version and has stayed that way. This has been going on for a few weeks now. Additionally, I had an old version of the site using .com, and I forwarded that to the .co.uk, but the old .com will not be removed from Google. it was just one page without much content. At the moment, Google's search results look very messy and out of date. I have submitted the URL in the Google Search Console using the URL inspection tool and requested indexing and reindexing. I have also submitted sitemaps, but nothing is really working. Any ideas?

                          Google doesn't show my Twitter account

                          google search ranking issue

                          Hello, my full name is Timo Rossa and my Twitter (X) account is @TimoRossa. If I search for my name with "Timo Rossa" on Google, it doesn't find any results referencing my Twitter account. It is very important for me that Google does not only show Twitter results for my name but also that those results would be ranked at the top. The only reason I could come up with is that my account name has not separated words. Does this make sense? What would be a simple strategy to achieve my goal? Thank you!

                          Are LinkedIn Newsletters bad for SEO?

                          seo tactic social media

                          Hey crew,
                          Curious if anyone has an answer for this one. Someone in our company is encouraging us to start posting our blog content as newsletters on LinkedIn and thinks it will help us grow.
                          From what I've learned about SEO - this seems like a bad idea that would split traffic for that content between our website and LinkedIn. I also feel like it would create duplicate content - right? Does anyone have any insight on this?
                          I see that Moz doesn't do LI newsletters and usually posts links on social media that point back to blogs on their website. That's what I've tried to do with our social media as well. Am I thinking about this correctly? Would this be bad for SEO?

                          How to Get a New Organic SERP Image Pack

                          serp seo image optimisation

                          I have been doing a little on-page SEO on our site today and came across the following images embedded within organic SERPs, please see the screenshot. Obviously the users eye is drawn to these and therefore they are likely to result in more clicks. It would be great to know what they are called and how to go about getting these for our own results? If we managed to implement these across our site it would make a big difference for us, as working in the travel space, images are so strong when painting a picture of the destination. Thanks

                          I have a large site with over 6000 pages indexed but only 600 actual pages and need to clean up with 301 redirects. Haven't had this need since Google stopped displaying the url's in the results.

                          Collections or blog posts for Shopify ecommerce seo?

                          shopify ecommerce seo

                          Hi, hope you guys can help as I am going down a rabbit hole with this one! We have a solid-ranking sports nutrition site and are building a new SEO keyword strategy on our Shopify built store. We are using collections (categories) for much of the key product-based seo. This is because, as we understand it, Google prioritises collection/category pages over product pages. Should we then build additional collection pages to rank for secondary product search terms that could fit a collection page structure (eg 'vegan sports nutrition'), or should we use blog posts to do this? We have a quality blog with good unique content and reasonable domain authority so both options are open to us. But while the collection/category option may be best for SEO, too many collections/categories could upset our UX. We have a very small product range (10 products) so want to keep navigation fast and easy. Our 7 lead keyword collection pages do this already. More run the risk of upsetting ease/speed of site navigation. On the other hand, conversion rate from collection pages is historically much better than blog pages. We have made major technical upgrades to the blog to improve this but these are yet to be tested in anger. So at the heart of it all - do you guys recommend favouring blog posts or collection/category pages for secondary high sales intent keywords? All help gratefully received - thanks!
