These Websites Are Members of the SEO Spam Hall of Shame

Blog
#1

Listed below are URLs for websites that have arranged for people to come to this forum and post links to their sites, even though their sites are totally unrelated to Ardour, audio engineering or anything remotely related to what this site is about. Quite a few of them are probably scams as well. This post will be updated and their names will be added. Google is quite good at indexing ardour.org. You spam our site, we add your URL here.

The saddest part is that I suspect that most of these businesses had no plans to do this. They hired some company who said they would do SEO for them. That company hired some $0.05/hr workers and said ā€œyou know what to doā€. I donā€™t really like listing their names here, but companies need to start getting a lot more informed about what ā€œSEOā€ is, and how Google PageRank works before hiring these scam artists.

Hello, Iā€™m a site administrator over some drupal sites, Iā€™d like to contribute to this list. Where can I post spammers urls?

#3

thank you so much! I like really much this way to fight spam, this plague is so boringā€¦Iā€™ve done what you suggest me, giving to the ā€˜SEO Spam all of shameā€™ highest priority on my sitemap. Google should take a look everyday to that page.

Molte grazie!
Ciao

#4

@TheJoe: we already use mollom, which is listed as a similar module. I donā€™t know if it has ever stopped one of these spammers yet.

#5

hey paul,

i think you should correct the keyword: disgusting

#6

Good to have this list of seo spammersā€¦

Do you know their comments could be automatically censored by akismet?

It could be added as a drupal module.

Regards.

Hi Paul

First post here. It seems that printing blue is all happy now. A better way to nail these scumbags is to use the tricks that the search engines actively penalise - hidden text, doorway pages, etc., etc.

I use Akismet on my Coppermine gallery, and itā€™s pretty impressive. My hacks go one step further though - the spamvertised websites are reported to the hosting provider.

#8

@revol: you should create your own page on your own site(s), i think. this page only lists companies that have SEO-spammed ardour.org

#9

Interesting way to fight spam. I searched ā€œPrinting Blueā€ and they came up as the third search result with some harsh words. I hope this helps keep the spam reduced.

#10

Hi Paul,

I am a webmaster of HW Select : www.hwselect.com and i strongly deny the fact of your statement. i would request you to delete our website name from the list immediately. if someone of our competitor doing this by using our name and website. We are not aware of that. You can protect the spamming by other means. If not delete our name - we have to take legal action on your website and you. To let me know when you delete our name from this list - Please email us at info@hwselect.com.

Many Thanks,

Elliot

@webmasterteam

ā€œI strongly deny the fact of your statementā€ is an oxymoron. You canā€™t deny a ā€œfact.ā€

#12

I think there may be a language barrier issue. Iā€™d suggest cutting him some slack.

#13

You have given a new idea to enlist the spammers.

#14
I think there may be a language barrier issue. I'd suggest cutting him some slack.
They are based in the UK. So you'd hope they would be familiar with English.
#15

@matt: the guy is a vicious intellectual property thug who has been a complete jerk over a variety of absurd internet issues (trademark disputes, etc, etc). best to forget it. he actually tried to trademark ā€œSEOā€ ā€¦

#16
he actually tried to trademark "SEO" ....
<Chortle>
#17

Evil itself!)) And Iā€™m really shocked at the length of this list! But nevertheless, I like it that you analize all the spammers and know their faces, so to say.
INSERT SPAM LINK HERE! ā€“ Edited spam link out, but leaving post for humor sake(Seablade)ā€¦

#18

Wowā€¦ I am tempted to leave that last comment upā€¦

   Seablade
#19

Wow, we had no idea about this or the actions of some previous SEO companies weā€™ve used. How do we go about getting our website off of this list? I canā€™t imagine it being helpful to our business. Thanks.

Have you thought about adding captchas to the site, i think some of the spam being posted here may be automated, i have read some of the spam though and not only is it spam i have no idea what its trying to promote or sell not even a link as far as i can tell.

anyway a captcha might atleast reduce some of the crap being posted on here.
