Google Bombing/Bowling Underway

Merlin asked 4 years ago
Hi All

This 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

http://64.233.183.104/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLJ_enZA237ZA237&q=cache:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.arielx.com%2F2%2Fblog%2F%3Finfo-id%3D725

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

It’s very easy to knock someone out. I accidentally did it to my own sites and I did it to a friends sites as a test (the sites were not earning any money)

Anyone who says external links cant hurt you are fooling themselves. If you are willing to invest $500 in link buys you can get almost anyone banned.

Dude I agree, if I had a dollar for every SEO misconception I would be a rich man.

Nothing is absolute in SEO in my experience. Since we talk alot and share info I think we can both agree that 99/100 times so called SEO truths may be true for some situations and not for others. Things really depend on the specifics of each situation.

Of course I wouldn’t tell you who, what, how and whom to they are doing it, no quicker than I would have identified affiliates bidding on gaming terms 30 days ago, or how they did it.

Whether you choose to believe it or deem it propaganda or conspiracy led is up to you.

What reason would I have to manufacture any of this is the question you should be asking.

I expect that if Google answered this question any other way, they would be opening up a pretty nasty can of worms.

We question everything they say because there have been too many times that the evidence point the opposite way.

We have also taken into consideration our geographical elements that may affect the parameter actually being in effect. So in other words do the same rules apply in the UK as they do in the US, or is there a delay.

Either way, with respect to this argument, I know people on both sides of the pond, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands that are currently practising this bh technique successfully. (yes – affiliates)

If google is changing this, then they need to get it out across all of their dc’s.

Sigh. Can you backup what you are saying? Otherwise it’s just another conspiracy theory.

I don’t want to prove me theory is right, since i don’t want to give some real examples.

Go to any decent BH forum (most are invitation only) and ask around / search. You’ll get what you’re looking form. I guarantee.

First of all you say that I am totally wrong and now you don’t have the balls to backup your point of view. Why did you bother posting here in the first place? :crazy:
