Hi Mike,

Thanks for that. I figured as I hadn't received any emails from Google that it shouldn't be a problem.

Cheers

Hey Everyone,

Back in December, our website suffered an attack which created links to other hacked webistes which anchor text such as

"This is an excellent time to discuss symptoms, fa"

"Open to members of the nursing/paramedical profes"

"The organs in the female reproductive system incl"

The links were only visible when looking at the Cache of the page. We got these links removed and removed all traces of the attack such as pages which were created in their own directory on our server

3 months later I'm finding websites linking to us with similar anchor text to the ones above, however they're linking to the pages that were created on our server when we were attacked and they've been removed.

So one of my questions is does this effect our site? We've seen some of our best performing keywords drop over the last few months and I have a feeling it's due to these spammy links. Here's a website that links to us

| http://www.fashion-game.com/extreme/blog/page-9 |

If you do view source or look at the cached version then you'll find a link right at the bottom left corner.

We have 268 of these links from 200 domains.

Contacting these sites to have these links removed would be a very long process as most of them probably have no idea that those links even exist and I don't have the time to explain to each one how to remove the hacked files etc.

I've been looking at using the Google Disavow tool to solve this problem but I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not. We haven't had any warnings from Google about our site being spam or having too many spam links, so do we need to use the tool?

Any advice would be very much appreciated. Let me know if you require more details about our problem.

You too, gardening and building links is the plan!

Its working! Just checked, went over to using Chrome but FF working too now. Thanks

May have been down with issues with site as you say.

Thanks again.

Tried that already as mentioned, didn't work.

Really strange thing on my laptop, the seomoz toolbar is not working with FF 6.

I have the same set up in the office on a PC and all is fine there.

Basically it shows the tool bar but no info, states log in but when you click on this it takes you to the seomoz site and states the website is down, which is false as the website is working as I type now.

I have uninstalled the the toolbar and then reinstalled it from the research tools, still no joy.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Thanks Wissam, that's cleared that up.

On my blog page I don't have the same URL so it will count it in the body text.

Many Thanks

Could someone please tell how Google treats the use of anchor text from a single page when using different keywords that all point to the same URL.

So for instance I am doing a blog post and use the following anchor text which all point to the same URL:

Cool Widget >> www.domain.com/widget

Awesome Widget >> www.domain.com/widget

Mighty Widget >> www.domain.com/widget

I have read that Google will only take noticeof the first one?

Thanks

The question is in the title:

Article Writing a thing of the past?

Some one emailed last month with:

Be warned – with the latest google algorythm changes – article marketing since two weeks ago is a thing of the past, read these below;

1. http://blog.ezinearticles.com/2011/02/search-engine-algorithm-changes.html

2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5xP-pTmlpY

Just wanted others opinions and the way forward.

Thanks

Hi All

Our website identifies a list of search engine spiders so that it does not show them the session ID's when they come to crawl, preventing the search engines thinking there is duplicate content all over the place.

The Seomoz has bought a over 20k crawl errors on the dashboard due to session ID's. Could someone please give the details for the Seomoz bot so that we can add it to the  list on the website so when it does come to crawl it won't show it session ID's and give all these crawl errors.

Thanks
