Know Some Facts
about Search Engine
Spam
There is a very thin
line of difference
between search
engine optimisation
practised by white
collars and black
hats. Most of the
spammers use various
black tricks to
outrun the real
white collars work.
So it better to
learn the difference
between white-hat
and black-hat
techniques.
The first thing to
know is what is
considered as spam?
It has been defined
by most of the
search engines as
the pages created
deliberately to
trick the search
engine by offering
inappropriate or
poor quality search
results.
It is always
advisable for every
site owner to ask
certain questions
related to its
content and their
various optimisation
techniques. The site
owners should be
aware that the
content of the site
greatly benefits the
target audience and
site browsers
whereas it is not
only for getting
page ranks in the
search engines.
Here are some of the
ways of search
engine spam
Keywords unrelated
to site
Redirects
Keyword stuffing
Mirror/duplicate
content
Tiny Text
Doorway pages
Link Farms
Cloaking
Keyword stacking

Page Swapping (bait
&switch)
Typo spam and cyber
squatting
Major search engines
take spam seriously
and put in great
efforts to eliminate
spam techniques. We
can also find a thin
line between
optimisation and
over optimisation.
Thus, aggressive and
sophisticated
techniques need to
be applied for
removing this type
of spamming.
So if you are going
spamming then always
remember that in the
long run it is not
beneficial and it
seems that you are
not going for page
rank.
Just has been also
proven that
aggressive marketing
is done in
businesses such as
gambling, casino,
travel, wine and
other products
compare to other
less-competitive
categories.
There are certain
ways to report
search engine spam
All the major search
engines such as
Google, MSN and
Yahoo have dedicated
spam reporting
systems in place and
you can know more by
just visiting the
sites.
A site is considered
as spam when it uses
techniques in a
determined manner to
subvert the search
engine’s
algorithms, to
artificially inflate
their search engine
ranking and if they
are caught then
nobody can help them
out.
