Today i was searching Google and found there are countless .edu and .gov websites which are targeted by Blackhat (I don’t want to use the word SEO here as this will be insult of this word).
These domains are mainly targeted by casino and viagra spammers.
Check these queries: (There are more queries to find out.)
I tried contacting many of those webmasters regarding this situation via e-mail .. but seems like its not possible to mail them all … so i decided to made a blogpost … I wish you all guys will show your support in fighting against spam !! As we all knows SEO exists till and until its not SPAM.
How to find your website is infected or not ?
You can run some queries like:
- site:yourdomain.com viagra
- site:yourdomain.com casino
- site:yourdomain.com gambling
You can guess some of your own like: poker, sex .. etc
One u got the infected link just report that page to concern department. If you have noticed some loss of rankings then it is suggested to file a reconsideration request at Google webmasters tool.
Feel free to contact me if u need any help regarding this issue.
