Search Engine Optimization was horrible its was only send a message to spam bots to advetise and spam your website hosting and forums i think that's a bad idea

I'm not sure I completely understand what you are saying here.

How is Search Engine Optimization linked to spam?

fsgames, I think that you may be under a misapprehension here regarding the nature of Search Engine Optimization.

If I get you right, you think that it's basically putting your website hosting details everywhere you can to gain traffic, but that this results in 'spam bots' visiting your website hosting through your links and then sending you spam throguh any contact details you list on said site?

Well that doesn't make sense. Even website hostings with no Search Engine Optimization involved still get just as much spam as the next website hosting. Some of my first website hostings were created by me a long time ago when I didn't even know Search Engine Optimization existed and they were targetted by spammers just as much as the next website hosting.

No, not your post, the original post. Sorry, let me clarify. I mean that it makes no sense that Search Engine Optimization increases spam as website hostings that use Search Engine Optimization and website hostings that don't both normally get spammed at some point in their existance.

Hes done enough for the free domain name now (or so he thinks

) so I don't think he will post anymore questions and replies at the moment.

He posted and posted till he got over 30 posts, posted for his free domain and then hasn't posted since as far as I can see.

We've all spent far too long discussing these spammers. Let's now turn back to the real business of this forum: talking about...

...um...

...how's that migration going, eukhost?

Spammer gone, peace returned

.

With regards to the migration eUKhost has posted about it recently in the related thread in eUKhost Announcements at the top of the forum.

Spam is inescapable; we’ve got to tolerate it as we tolerate all the other infuriation of our life.

I read the previous messages and they had an interesting sence.
Well, we own a website hosting /removed/ that has to do with school furniture.
As I was trying to promote it via Search Engine Optimization I can say that the results were really impressive.
So, I could say that we were happy.
As I was trying to promote that in Google, suddenly they inform me that this website hosting is in spam list. Hopefully the people helped me a lot to solve the problem.
After that I search why that happened and the conclusions were that even the Search Engine Optimization is really useful the danger of spam is in the corner ready to strike.
Thanks for reading.

I find these days spammers are making social media website hostings one of the best place to hang- out, they gain high traffic through their spam post or link and get noticed by millions of people browsing the website hostings before the admin of particular website hostings can identify them as spammers.

**DPS Computing** · #14 (**permalink**) 25-05-2007, 21:26

Yes - the only way to fight back at them is take them down at their source. Spammers are only really affected when you manage to get their ISPs to drop them and their domains blocked.
