Reducing Spam Flags

[damon1212]

I have a personal site that is pretty strong (35 DA) likely from the fact that I have had it for so damn long (like. . . 15 years).

So, since it's my own site of course I used it to link to my business site.

Sadly, it looks like that site has "five spam flags" . . . which is ironic since it's totally legit.

Anyway, what can I do to reduce spam flags?   It mentions "low trust", small proportion of branded links, and "large site with few links".   Pretty sure it's not the latter, since the site is just a wordpress site I use to share some of my music. (www.damonsongs.net in case anyone wants to hear it . . . ).

So. . . 1) can I do much of anything to legitimze the site and 2) am I better off removing the site link I am trying to promote?

Insights welcome!

Hey Damon,

It's good to interact with the musicians

Damon, I suppose you're referring to www.damonsongs.net here.. I checked this site, it's DA is 21 not 35 and the spam score is raising 2 flags. Please see the shot.

Damon, though 2 flags doesn't indicate any serious action but I still feel there are some links that you need to gt rid of asap. For instance, look out these two links:
http://www.laurawijnhold.nl/fotos.php?commando=fotobekijken&nummer=461
http://www.iopinio.cmslogic.nl/NL/dagdenker/169/46-de-ondemocratische-euro.html

From no way, there is any connection to get the links for a music blog from these kind of sites.

By the way, start writing some more content I'd love to be in your subscriber list

Hope this helps!

THanks for taking a look Umar!

I think I confused DA with PA . . .

That said, I AM still showing a 5 for spam.   See attached.

Also, I'm not sure where you are seeing those two links on my site?  I even inspected the code to see if the link was hidden somewhere . . . Am I missing something?

BTW, working on a full album now.   Should post some new stuff soon!

Check the anchor "cheap jordan shoes online" on this links:
http://www.laurawijnhold.nl/fotos.php?commando=fotobekijken&nummer=461

"cheap jordan shoes online" for a music blog, doesn't make any sense to me.

I guess, you should go for a link building audit if you'r not aware of these kind of links.

Hope this helps!

OMG!  I just did ran Open Site Explorer for ALL links on the site and found what you are talking about.   There are DOZENS of spam links that should not be there!

It looks like I have been hacked and had links added into my images folder!   Grrr.

Thanks for finding this.   Clean up process begins in 3. . 2. . 1. . .
