Should I re-update Google webmaster disavow when bad neighbor republish my Feeds?
-
Hi all!
I have a self hosted, WordPress blog. Today I accidentally found a one bad site republish my blog feeds in its sidebar. This blog has cracked software download links, software serial numbers information as well as few legal contents. I think it's is a bad neighbor. And it will cause future SEO issues.
That blog hosted on Google blogspot. Then try to contact the site admin to remove my feeds from the sidebar. But I can't find any contact information. This site doesn't have any social networking profiles/pages.
How do I block that site re-publishing my feeds? It uses a blogspot.com sub domain, therefore I can't find any who is information.
If I use Google webmaster disavow link feature, what happen when I publish new blog posts? Then I have to re-update the webmaster tools disavow links?
Thanks!

Just want to agree with both @Karl and @Glen - you can disavow the domain, but I'd also reach out directly to Blogpost, as they're your best bet for a takedown. Past that, you could file a DMCA request. Honestly, though, if you're just talking about one obviously bad site on Blogspot, your risk is pretty low here. There are bad sites out there, and Google knows it. Until you've got a pattern of bad links, they're not going to penalize you for something you can't control (the vast majority of the time, at least).

Look up the content policy for blogspot/blogger. They should have instructions to file a copyright infringement request. If the site continually violates Google's policies then it could get pulled down altogether.

Karl!
First of all thank you for your reply. I think it's better disavow the domain. Are there any side effect of this disavowal? That person uses the blogger sub domain (for an instance abc.blogspot.com). Therefore I can't get contact information from the Whois.

Have you tried using Whois to find the contact details?
If you disavow the domain rather than an individual page in the disavow tool, you shouldn't have to update the file every time they take one of your feeds. I don't think there is anything you can do to stop them taking it though unfortunately.

How To Encourage Google To Discover Links?
I got a valuable backlink from a high authority website (MSN), but the link is placed in the middle of a slideshow with 20 pictures, and the only way to reach it is by clicking through the slideshow. After 6 months, this link still hasn't been noticed by Moz or Semrush, and I assume Google hasn't seen it either, because it's in the middle of a slideshow. Is there any way to encourage Google to find this link? Or am I all out of luck?

Do any presentation sites, Slideshare, Google Slides, HaikuDeck offer great SEO links?
I do a lot of public speaking and normally upload my slides somewhere so people can access later. With most sites I can upload to Slideshare or similar, then embed into my own site. I do it for audience convenience, but it would be swell to get an SEO bump.

Google Webmaster Tools notice of detected unnatural links ...
Hi, We recently got "the message" from Google about unnatural links for two of our 50 sites. Ranking has dropped significantly since, we did not take any action to remove the links. All our 50 sites were managed by the same SEO company but only two got this message. We are in the process of understanding the best ways to deal with this situation, but currently there are two main approaches we can detect: Remove the links, resubmit for reconsideration Ignore the message and do not do anything, if you do something it is actually like admitting you did something wrong, and Google can not prove that you did... Any insights on what approach we should adopt? Thanks in advance.
