~@ Negative SEO Attack
What is Negative SEO
Negative SEO, also referred to as Black Hat
SEO, is a practice that involves sending out malicious attacks on high ranking
sites with the aim of de-ranking them and ranking your site higher. Black hat
SEO floods the search engines with false keywords causing Google and other
machines to ignore, lower rankings, or ban another website or page.
Sites are using less and less negative SEO to
rank higher on search engines. However, owners are now switching to using the
same black hat SEO to harm other competing sites by reducing their popularity
levels.
Does Negative SEO work?
Yes. Negative SEO does work. You can boost
your search rankings on Google and other search engines using negative SEO. It
works very fast and can earn you thousands within a short period.
The only difference is that it loses
popularity fast. Therefore, you only get a short period where you rank quickly,
earn a few thousand dollars, and then the earnings diminish. In this, you are
lucky if, within that period, Google and other search engines do not flag you
out, penalize your site and keywords used, or ban your entire site from the
search engine.
All these have detrimental effects on your
earnings and any future references and use of search engines. However, the
process is quite useful for de-rank popular sites that rate first on search
engine results page SERPs. It is crucial to know how negative SEO works and
understand the various ways to protect your site from such an attack.

Spam Link
building
High authority or quality links can improve
your search engine rank fast and easy. The same applies to irrelevant links on
your site. They were your ranks fast and can ruin your entire reputation on
search engines.
Spam link building is one of the most
successful ways of negative SEO campaigns. It is a practice that allows
individuals to create as many links as possible on a specific keyword. These
can range from low-authority or non-essential links to follow backlinks on
different domains, causing a drop in search engine ranking.
Spam link building is accessible and can occur
overnight.
Solution
Continuously reviewing and auditing your site
links is the fastest and most comfortable means of identifying spam links. Once
identified, you can write to Google or any other search engine asking to remove
these harmful or malicious links. Search engines can help you take them down
with a simple request.
You may also identify the website owners for
the link build-up and send a request either for removal or for a no follow
change, which indicates the link to have no credit. Ensure to log in every
claim you make as a backup if you need to create a disavow file later. You
should include your name, occupation, or position, and your contact details in
the request. Add pages where the links you want removed are and a deadline
indicating a timeline for the link removal.
If the request isn't met or owners refuse, add
a disavow file after the deadline. Google will take down the links, and your
search engine ranks will remain the same as before.
--Adult &
gambling Links
Works easy and fast when trying to ruin
potential domains that are first in search ranking. You can negatively brand a
website using adult and gambling links. Professionals create links from
high-quality websites or spam sites with a specific keyword like Viagra online.
The experts generate as many links as possible using the keywords they develop.
The regular occurrence is something that Google restricts and does not abide,
resulting in lower ranking or complete site bans.
Solution
These are quite effective in eliminating your
rankings. They spread fast, and Google can catch them easily. Therefore, you
have a short timeline to identify the adult and gambling links and destroy them
before the search engines react.
Here you should proceed to link removal
immediately. You spot it. Use the available tools on our site for link removal.
Identify the links as most share similar addresses on their IPs. The
application will offer you a chance to disavow the link. Click on it and
proceed to do the same on every other unnatural link you find attached to your
site.
--Link Farming
Links are the best in building quality SEO
strategies. However, they are also the most effective when it comes to ruining
the same process. It is true one, or two spam links can cause no harm to your
high-quality website. But, if one or two sites come together to build several
spam links to your site, you go down easy and fast.
Link farming is a practice where different
sites build links that utilize the same anchor as your site. These sites have
little or no relation to your site. The sites are what we refer to as link
farms. Their manipulation can appear as the original site owner
doing-especially if the niche keyword matches that of the target website.
These are hard to deal with, especially if you
have no knowledge of negative SEO and how to defend your site from it.
Solution
Link farming poses a considerable challenge to
many websites online. Identifying the challenge early enough can give you a
fighting chance against the malicious attack. It is only possible through
regular monitoring of the link growth from your profile. A sudden spike in the
graph means an increase in link reference and number. You need to review and
remove any irrelevant links to your site.
Always review the risks associated with the
links. Highlight any suspicious link appearing on your site and disavow them. A
disavow file strips the links any power they may have on your site. Therefore,
it is crucial to exercise care when selecting these files to reject a high
ranking or authority link accidentally.
--Content
Duplication (Copy Paste Attack)
It is another successful strategy aimed at
discrediting original content owners. Some sites immediately take up your
content after publishing it, copy it to theirs, and repost it simultaneously.
The action of copying and pasting posted content is also known as scraping. The
resulting stories from it are that the original site suffers the consequences.
In most cases, search engines may identify
your content as original and, thus, select it for ranking. However, this is on
a rare occasion. Search engines are sometimes unable to differentiate one from
the other. Therefore, they pick the one they come across first, and thus, your
site loses authenticity even though your post is the original one.
Solution
Our site provides you with essential tools to
check if you have copied items of your work online. In case you come up with
content duplication instances, the first step is to contact the Webmaster.
However, the Webmaster may believe your work is copied and therefore infringe
on the rights of stolen content or not. They can remove the piece, and if you
do not prove to be the owner, the part remains in place.
So, what next?
Seek and fill in the copyright infringement
report by Google. The information helps search engines recognize your work as
the original content source. The search engine follows the normal ranking
process and ranks your site first. In other words, your SEO strategy remains
intact, ensuring you retain your place on the search engine. Besides, you do
not suffer penalties associated with duplicate content on your site.
--Fake review
(on GMB,Yelp,Trustpilot)
It is an extraordinary attack on local
business and local SEO strategies. Business platforms can experience an influx
of bad reviews from clients or known platforms discrediting their services or
products. The overall effects are a massive loss in customer services and a
drop in local search engine results pages.
The low rating on a fake review impacts a
venture's overall sales. Every single star represents trust and quality regard
from clients to the site. Search an influx in fake reviews with low ratings and
poor SEO strategy, leading to decreased traffic, is the worst combination for
your site.
Fake reviews have some unique characteristics
making it easy to spot. Reviewers use a single word to describe products or
services like 'hate.' Reviews are frequent, for instance, within a few hours or
days of each other. Reviewers are not easy to authenticate as they do not leave
behind reviews from other companies or links to them.
Solution
There is one solution to fake reviews. Flag
them to make sure search engines can identify them and help stop their
activities before causing other authentic sites to fall. Responses to negative
reviews should be honest and polite. However, there is no need to respond to a
fake review. Just flag it.
--301 Redirect
links (from Expired/Penalized domain)
Ever clicked on a link online only to be
redirected to a completely different page? This negative SEO strategy follows
the same principle. The website owner may purchase several spam links already
penalized by search engines and redirect them to your website as a competitor.
The connections become part of your site as search engines index sites
resulting in a ban.
The process implies, and many website users
are not familiar with it. It makes it a potential danger and most successful
negative SEO campaign strategy. However, they may carry less link authority
with them, giving you a chance to disavow them before they ruin your website
SEO.
Solution
Continuous monitoring can help you track any
redirect links from expired and penalized domains. Once identified, you can
remove them through a disavow file and notify Google of their existence. The
step helps limit any form of censure that the search engine may have for your website.
--Link Removal
(remove Existing useful links of a competitor)
Sometimes, it is not the adding of quality and
authority links that take you down. It is the existing useful links from fellow
competitors that can result in poor SEO. Such ventures can ask you to remove
their links from your content or site or indicate it as a nofollow losing the
quality the link was adding to your site. Others maliciously remove them
without notifying you, causing your site to flounder with search rankings.
Solution
Always notify and gain acceptance to use links
from certain high ranking websites before posting on your site. Seek
confirmation after the site is complete to ensure that site owners do not
disclaim your connection when the content or site is up and running.
--DMCA Claim
Some competitors want your site out of there,
especially if they are losing business to you. Therefore, they go ahead and
make a DMCA complaint. It is a copyright infringement case accusing you of
copying information, website, or site content across different digital mediums.
If the case proves to be against you, you lose
hosting services as providers disable your access. The truth is, some of these
actions are not from loyal site owners, which can lead to authentic sites
losing their hosting services for no reason except healthy competition.
The complaint is successful as most of the
time; the hosting services do not review the site. After receiving notice, they
go ahead and disable services without determining whether it is true or false.
Solution
Once you receive notice of the DMCA claim, you
should respond. The hosting service will still take down the website, but once
a response is in hand, they have to resume their hosting services for you. The
only other scenario that can prevent resumption is if the site owner with the
claim decides to sue within fourteen days after the request.
Since these are scammers and want to trouble
you, they do not expect you to respond to the claim. They can also not sue as
they do not have the original copy and cannot prove they own it. Therefore,
responding to the request becomes your number one solution for this challenge.
--Robot.txt
Alter
Another successful attempt on your website
often involves your website slowing down to a point where it loses rank. Spammers
increase your loading time by increasing crawlers on your site. The site
becomes slow, taxing to use, and finally, crashes. It becomes a win for your
competitors.
Solution
Maintaining your SEO strategy running means
keeping your site speed within the top list. When you notice that your site's
loading time is down, you should contact your hosting service. The Webmaster
may also help reduce the load increasing your site speed once more. The
Robots.txt can help resolve any challenges that similar files with altered
texts can cause.
---Malware
Insertion
Malware is a file sent forth to your website
to damage your site or its content. Professionals tend to use malware to take
down their competitors as it is useful and highly destructive. May sites with
malware attacks often have recent hacks to their history? Most of the malware
cause decelerated traffic, can slow down the website, and can result in spam
link build-up within a short period.

aim is to identify every small change or difference in web pages on your
website. It can help catch the malware before it activates, assisting you to
save your site.
