Merlin asked 4 years agoThis thread needs to be made sticky as its very NB.
We are under attack by spammers who are trying to get us banned in Google.
If you rank in the top 10 for any good keyword there is a good chance you are being bombed. It is quite obvious they are taking the sites in the top 10 for specific keywords and auto generating these pages.
We are finding thousands of links to our sites from SPAMS sites like these
When you go to the page normally it does not exist, but through the Google cache you can see it. They may be using some sort of cloaking.
This is but one example of hundreds we are finding in our external links through Googles Webmaster tools.
Other sites that are being attacked just on this page are.
xhttp://www.casinoguide.com
xhttp://www.onlinecasinosuite.com
xhttp://www.latestcasinobonuses.com
xhttp://www.gamblingplanet.com
xhttp://www.bonusgeek.com
xhttp://www.casinos.net
xhttp://www.7sultans.com
etc etc
Even the casinos themselves are being targeted.
We need to identify each and every one of these domains and pages and report them as spam to Google else they could very well affect our rankings.
Please post urgently so we can make a concerted effort to stop this attack.
regards
Merlin

Google will punish you if you have links pointing from your site to these “suspect” sites.

I know of 3 instances right now involving big brands. Each involves different scenarios as well. One for instance purchase a few blacklisted sites and loaded it up with porn anchors and site wides and pointed them at a competitor.

Look at your logfiles or google webmaster central to identify the individual links, then (unfortunately) go through each one to identify if you want the link.
If you have any links that you cannot identify, especially sitewide links on directories or unscrupulous websites, you are going to need to contact your ISP and get a firewall installed that provides and interface for you to have the functionality to block certain IP’s.
The links from the site will be rejected and eventually purged from google therefore solving your problem.
BTW – this is a very common novice wanna-be blackhat technique that is very easily fixed once you identify the sources.
