Say NO to Spam
Spamming is a dangerous term in online marketing arena. This potentially risky activity can have devastating repercussions in SEO if not dealt with carefully. This is considered an unethical technique and may improve rankings in the short term but is very harmful in the long run. At times, it may lead to penalization of the website. Most of the professional SEO services stay clear of such practices and invest their efforts in White Hat Techniques.
- Some spamming techniques that should be avoided are:
- Keyword stuffing and repetitive usage of single keywords should be avoided in Metatags, alt images, and comments. Hidden links and text should be avoided.
- Mirror web pages are pages with identical content but different URLs. These websites are linked together. Doorway web pages are of poor quality and are constructed to rank high for specific keywords. These are specially constructed for the search engines and not for the website visitor.
- URL cloaking is a technique that delivers many different web pages for search engines as well as website visitors. The webmaster’s servers are constructed in such a way that they identify the IP addresses of the search engine and offer them pages that are content rich as well as optimized.
- Link farms along with FFA pages are purposely designed to acquire link popularity for the site. Link farms are made of one page websites that have one to hundred links to various other websites.
SEO spamming provides high rankings to a site but only for a short period of time. These techniques are also known as Black hat SEO techniques which are intended to trick the search engine to get search engine results. But generally the results obtained are irrelevant and low quality search results. Some SEO services provider companies use spamming techniques to fulfill their SEO objectives but may end up harming the website as a result.
Black Hat techniques can create many poor quality sites and then gain inbound links from other sites as well as inbound links from other sites. On the other hand White Hat Techniques focus on creating quality content that is written for actual people not search engines. This technique takes time in delivering results but is a long term strategy for a website.
