      Random I know. I started a fun pet project at www.me-not-spammer.info. Total spam. Totally says it's not spam. Satire and all, something only SEO people will get really.

      Anyway I want to make a sidebar of other "not spammers" and need to find a bunch of spammy websites. Problem is they don't rank in search engines obviously so I know of only the ones who leave comments on some of my wordpress sites.

      Anyone have a list of a bunch of them so I can link to them in my blogroll?

        Wow! You must have plenty of time on your hands.

        It would be interesting to see how it ranks - if you choose to track it,,,

        Sorry I can't help with a list.

          Hey there! So while I don't have a list of spammy websites here's a general overview of how I analyze whether or not a website is spammy or not:

          • Does the website have a high Spam Score when running it through Moz's Link Explorer?
          • Does the website have an alternative TLD? (ga, rn, cl)
          • Does the website have a low domain authority?
          • Does the website use similar templates to others that are possibly low quality?
          • Does the website cover a topic that's totally unrelated to the linking site?
          • Is the website part of a blogspot link network?
          • Does the website pass the "eye test" and look like it could be useful for users?

          Of course one or two of these qualities does not make a site low quality but raises a flag that it could be. For me if a site has multiple factors that make it low quality and doesn't appear to pass the "eye test", then I might consider it a spammy domain. You can then submit all spammy domains to your disavow file.

          • My WebSite has two sections with overlapping, or redundant articles on the same topics. Google is only listing one or the other article in Search Results. What should I do to have both pages (similiar but unique content ) to be listed?
