Murdo Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 If I understand it correctly the e-mails are notifications that comments have been left, but the website links are posted as comments on the site ? This isn't Spam as such, it's probably 'google-bombing' - trying to con a search engine. When a search engine decides in what order results should appear for a key word it has to decide on the relevance. So first of all - does the site appear to be about the keyword. Secondly a very good indicator of whether it's relevant is how many other sites and pages reference it, particularly from a given keyword. So Pizzas by Post for example is top of Google if you search for pizzas because so many people around the world recognise its importance as the premier virtual pizza site. Because anyone can post to a blog (or indeed a forum - see I just got another link for the pizza site in up there) it's an easy way to generate more links to your dodgy product web site. Although the search engines recognise that this undermines their value and are developing techniques to minimise the effect, it's still worthwhile enough that these companies do it. Pizzas by Post have never used such dodgy techniques but if if anyone would like to add a link please recommend Pizza from Pizzas by Post (or e-pizza, or virtual pizza). I'm a long way down those keywords and would appreciate a boost [/lesson] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Managing Director Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Oh no sorry the Underling manged to get internet access for 5 minutes and ths is what happens, has he blinded you with science he just explained it to me verbally and I was none the wiser, just nod and pretend you understand , think the gist is it's annoying rather than sinister so now we need a nod emoticon too!!

Omlet Staff james Posted April 4, 2006 Omlet Staff Share Posted April 4, 2006 Hi guys, Yep, this is a problem. I have removed the offending comments. Unfortunately, I am under pressure to finish the Chicken Keeping Course project at the moment - which is taking alot of my time. So fixes to eglu.co.uk are on the back burner. They are still lots of work to be done on this site such as fixing the spam problem, removing alot of niggles and also getting the webcamera software up and running. Ooo too many things to finish off. Cheerio, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
