            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

                          negative seo spam backlink attack

                          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?

                          ranking homepage sub-pages not ranking

                          Hey Community! I am facing an ranking issue, I am trying to rank on multiple quires with my sub-pages. The issue is homepage is ranking on every single query. Even the homepage's content is not relevant to that query! I have made sure to remove any sort of content relevancy from homepage which i trying to rank with my sub-pages. Business/Website Details: We are a recruitment agency based Pakistan providing manpower around the globe and other recruiting services. We are targeting each country with a sub-page. Even after I have done some necessary things but still there is not effect on rankings. Let me share some examples: Query: recruitment agency for gulf in pakistan Home Page Showing
                          1.jpg Page i want to ranking:
                          2.jpg This issue is not only with this page, it's appearing on multiple quires but I think it should clear the issue I am facing. Now: Any Possible Solutions to this technical or ranking error. Backlinks on this query don't matter because you can check the other search results don't have any backlink data on them. Please share some quick thoughts on-page content. Even I make a page that have the word recruiting/recruitment in it google will automatically rank homepage and not the page i want! Thanks in advance for help 🙂

                          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

                          Hi there, one of my client's sites is showing up in Google search results / getting a lot of site traffic from keywords that while very close to words we're actually trying to target on the site, are irrelevant for the client and their site content. Does anyone have ideas of how to address this?
