Bloggers and Affiliate Marketers: Here’s how to protect your site from spammers and comment bots

admin

I’m a blogger like many of you. If you have been blogging for some time you know what a headache spammers and bots can cause.

You wake up one day and have a ton of comments, before you pat yourself of the back for having posted something so awesome, realize these are most likely spam comments created by bots. Sometimes these robotic posters can crash your site, or cause your provider to disable your blog.

Google has prepared a list of things you can do to limit spam to keep your site functioning and current with new anti-spam strategies. I have employed most of these on my own blogs, especially the captcha. I recommend using the Captcha code that Google provides as I find it the most effective and easy to implement, oh and it’s free too. On some blogs I have turned commenting off completely as they seemed to be targets and the actual comments were few. Askismet is am automated tool I have used for many years and I find it to be effective on WordPress blogs. Moderators are also a great way to balance out the growing work load of keeping up with spammers. The best practice is to keep your blog updated, and be proactive with these simple defense steps.

Google doesn’t make mention of WordFence, but I also highly recommend this security service for WordPress blogs, it offers a basic free tool that is excellent. The first time I ran WordFence I was blown away at how many real-time threats were being made on my little blog at any give time. WordFence can give you some peace of mind that your blog is safe.

Read on for specific tips direct from Google.

Here’s what Google has to say…. (Source: Google Webmaster Central Blog, Jan 27, 2017)

How to protect your site from user generated spam, robotic spam commenting

As a website owner, you might have come across some auto-generated content in comments sections or forum threads. When such content is created on your pages, not only does it disrupt those visiting your site, but it also shows some content that you may not want to be associated with your site to Google and other search engines.

Comments and forum threads can be a really good source of information and an efficient way of engaging a site’s users in discussions. This valuable content should not be buried by auto-generated keywords and links placed there by spammers.

There are many ways of securing your site’s forums and comment threads and making them unattractive to spammers:

•Keep your forum software updated and patched. Take the time to keep your software up-to-date and pay special attention to important security updates. Spammers take advantage of security issues in older versions of blogs, bulletin boards, and other content management systems.

•Add a CAPTCHA. CAPTCHAs require users to confirm that they are not robots in order to prove they’re a human being and not an automated script. One way to do this is to use a service like reCAPTCHA, Securimage and Jcaptcha .

•Block suspicious behavior. Many forums allow you to set time limits between posts, and you can often find plugins to look for excessive traffic from individual IP addresses or proxies and other activity more common to bots than human beings. For example, phpBB, Simple Machines, myBB, and many other forum platforms enable such configurations.

•Check your forum’s top posters on a daily basis. If a user joined recently and has an excessive amount of posts, then you probably should review their profile and make sure that their posts and threads are not spammy.

•Consider disabling some types of comments. For example, It’s a good practice to close some very old forum threads that are unlikely to get legitimate replies.
If you plan on not monitoring your forum going forward and users are no longer interacting with it, turning off posting completely may prevent spammers from abusing it.

•Make good use of moderation capabilities. Consider enabling features in moderation that require users to have a certain reputation before links can be posted or where comments with links require moderation.
If possible, change your settings so that you disallow anonymous posting and make posts from new users require approval before they’re publicly visible.
Moderators, together with your friends/colleagues and some other trusted users can help you review and approve posts while spreading the workload. Keep an eye on your forum’s new users by looking on their posts and activities on your forum.

•Consider blacklisting obviously spammy terms. Block obviously inappropriate comments with a blacklist of spammy terms (e.g. Illegal streaming or pharma related terms) . Add inappropriate and off-topic terms that are only used by spammers, learn from the spam posts that you often see on your forum or other forums. Built-in features or plugins can delete or mark comments as spam for you.

•Use the "nofollow" attribute for links in the comment field. This will deter spammers from targeting your site. By default, many blogging sites (such as Blogger) automatically add this attribute to any posted comments.

•Use automated systems to defend your site. Comprehensive systems like Akismet, which has plugins for many blogs and forum systems are easy to install and do most of the work for you.

Review: LIVE Home Business Bootcamp Training. Date: March 22, 2013 with Marketing Expert George Kosch

The session started with Bootcamp Instructor,  George Kosch, welcoming new Silver and Platinum VIP Members who have recently joined Worldprofit.

Discussion topics:

Discussion Topic:  "I want to promote my own Affiliate programs, how does Worldprofit’s training and resources help me do that?"

The tools, resources, traffic and software Worldprofit provides can be used to promote any and all your Affiliate programs, not just Worldprofit services. The entire base of our company’s training is based on helping our Members build MULTIPLE STREAMS of INCOME. Your member area has not only promotional aids for Worldprofit services, but also for other reputable affiliate programs and vendors. The answer to how to make money online is revenue from a number of different programs and that is exactly what Worldprofit’s training and software teaches you – how to earn from a number of trusted sources, and build your email marketing list.  Worldprofit teaches you what to look for in selecting online income programs, and how to market and promote online for best results.

Discussion Topic:  "The MLM mentality is DEAD."

Many people are familiar with MLM, or network marketing have a dated mentality about how to make money online.  The MM mentality is one that says you can only be in one program, that there is only ONE greatest program every and you must disregard all other income sources.  MLMers talk about spillover, warm marketing, and focus often on confidentially for your own personal gain in building your downline.      The world of online business is VERY different. The new world of online marketers at Worldprofit is social, encourages a group effort, community mindedness. Success is based on co-operation, hard work, NO HYPE, and the approach is an all web-based marketing platform.   George offered the example shown in the movie, The Beautiful Mind, where John Nash’s theory of Equilibrium (Game Theory) was featured within the context of the story.  Stated quite simply for the purpose of this discussion, take from that, the fact that in business, the prediction of success is greater when people work together. That is what we emphasize at Worldprofit with our business model, people working together, helping each other in an online community environment. This is all possible as a result of our unique Monitor Network.

Discussion Topic: Leads

Leads are your life blood when it comes to making money online.  Generating leads is critical and so too is list building.  At Worldprofit we teach you how to generate leads to build your online business, while building your email marketing list.  We’ve simplified things for you by teaching you how to promote, we provide products and services for you to promote, then WE do the selling for you with our Monitor Network. Monitors staff our Live Business Center 24 hours a day to greet your leads (Associates) and present offers to encourage sales/upgrades.  This is a 100% LIVE program that does not exist anywhere else online in the form that Worldprofit offers.

Discussion Topic: Worldprofit offers you a legitimate online business, NOT a biz op.

Be responsible for your online business and treat it seriously, act professionally, be organized and have a positive realistic attitude. Don’t treat your Worldprofit business like a hobby, or a biz op. Dig into the training, commit to learning then apply consistently  what you learn.  People who don’t take a business seriously rarely make any money as they don’t commit, they aren’t vested in their own success. Dabblers, don’t make money. Respect yourself and others if this is what you want to do.  An online business is not for everyone, it takes time, effort and commitment for the long term.

Discussion Topic: THE Offer!

Offers are what motivate the human animal. You, me, we all respond to offers.  Worldprofit has an amazing offer because we have so many sites, and resources that we can dish up as incentives to attract new Members. Monitors know the value of these offers, but do you?  In your Member area are tons of things that YOU can use to create your OWN offers.    Consider becoming a Monitor so you can learn about offers, sales and online marketing while building your own online business and helping others at the same time.

George Kosch’s Home Work Assignment:

If you have been with Worldprofit for at least 3 months (don’t do this if you are brand new), look in your Member area and see what you have at your finger tips to create your own personalize offers for your own leads. HINT: If you own a Worldprofit Safelist Exchange you’ve ALREADY got a powerful way to make offers now.

What’s New!

The new Lazy Blogger System is now LIVE and available for all Silver and Platinum VIP Members.  George presented an online demonstration of how to use this new system to easily blog, and add content to your Silver or Platinum VIP site for the purpose of SEO indexing and lead generation. Don’t worry this new system is integrated into your  membership, there  is no extra cost.

SEO Optimizer Pro.  George provided an online demonstration and invited all members to sign up for a free 7 day trial of this new service.  The service allows you to EASILY and QUICKLY promote your website to over 700,000 Search Engines, Directories, Link Pages, Online Malls, and Classified Sites. It’s 100% automated and has one purpose – to generate traffic for your site. Using the service helps potential customers find your site and what you offer. Manual submission to a large number of sites is very time consuming. By using SEO OPTIMIZER PRO this task is automated and takes you minutes to complete.  There is NO software to download, and the easy to use WIZARD will help you get your site(s) submitted easily in minutes.

Review: LIVE Home Business Bootcamp Training with George Kosch, Feb 22, 2013. Presented by the online Home Business Experts at Worldprofit

George Kosch welcomed new Members to the training and directed them on what to do next to get started and enjoying maximum benefit from your Worldprofit Membership.

A discussion followed about why some people are successful in building an online business and why some are not.

Specifically:

If you have a goal for something you want to achieve do this:

1. Define and set your goal. Write it down.  Post it in a visible spot, perhaps the fridge.

2.  Find a person who is already doing or successful at what you want to achieve. Determine what it is EXACTLY that they are doing that you are not. Find at least 3 things they are doing that you yourself are NOT doing. You see, you may THINK you are doing what it required but in actuality you aren’t doing what you need to do to achieve your goal.

3. When you have determined what it is that you should be doing, examine your goal. Is it realistic? Do you need to modify your goal to be achievable to your own situation?

4. When you have a realistic goal, and you have defined the tasks you need to do to achieve your gaol, now create a schedule and task list then do it.

5. Continue to monitor your progress, your schedule and your goals, modify as required.

For example:

If your goal is to make $1500 per month in your online business, but you have a full time job, therefore you have limited time to promote, you may have to modify your goal to be more realistic. It’s been said if you want to lose weight, find someone who is what you consider an ideal weight and ask them what they eat and what they do to maintain their weight. That person is successful at maintaining a healthy weight, so find out what they do specifically, then do it.    If you want to be a better bowler, find someone who is a great bowler. Ask him or her how they got to be a great bowler, what did they do, how often do they practice, what’s their winning strategy. Get the idea? So when it comes to your online business, DO the tasks that people do who are making money online are doing. The bootcamp training teaches you what you need to do to follow in the steps of our Top Sellers.  Too many people get caught up in the studying, the thinking, the planning, get off track with TOO MUCH info then never get to the WORK . Focus on and DO the daily tasks that are directly related to achieving your goals. 

Worldprofit Updates:

The new Blog-IT system is now active for all Silver and Platinum VIP Members, login to your member area to get started.  It’s included in your Membership at no extra cost.  This one click promotion tools make it EASY and FAST to blog to your site, fresh new content, article, products for sale, and more.
You will find this new BLOG IT system on the LEFT menu under CONTENT MANAGEMENT then select BLOG SYSTEM. Watch the video there so you understand the power of this new system to help you earn online. 

We have just added more lessons to the online bootcamp training so you now have 70 lesson plans. You can see a summary of ALL lessons and move forwards and backwards to select your preferred lesson topics. You can do this from the LEFT MENU under HOME BUSINESS TRAINING select LESSON SUMMARY.

A new product has been added to the MONEY MAKERS KIT. So login and look for that then start promoting it – use the new blog system  too! Remember you keep 100% of the commission on the sales of those products . The promotion tools are all there for you.  You will find the  Money Makers Kit  on the LEFT MENU select MONEY MAKERS then select MONEY MAKERS KIT.  The newest products are at the top (you’ve got 50 products there to blog and promote!).

Review: What Google’s Fresh Content changes means to marketers.

Google has announced changes to their search algorithms so that more relevant and up to date results appear first.
 
Google uses 200+methods to rank pages, and this recent announcement regarding fresh content has HUGE implications for webmasters and marketers.
 
Says Google: "We completed our Caffeine web indexing system last year, which allows us to crawl and index the web for fresh content quickly on an enormous scale. Building upon the momentum from Caffeine, today we’re making a significant improvement to our ranking algorithm that impacts roughly 35 percent of searches and better determines when to give you more up-to-date relevant results for these varying degrees of freshness." Google went on to add this, "Frequent updates. There are also searches for information that changes often, but isn’t really a hot topic or a recurring event. For example, if you’re researching the a specific product, or you’re in the market for a new car and want reviews of a specific car, you probably want the most up to date information.
 
So here is what you need to understand from this announcement to improve your website ranking and ideally increase your sales.
 
1. If you don’t have a blog, start one NOW.
2. Blog or post articles about recent events or hot topics that are trending to give yourself an advantage
3. Blog or post fresh new content to your site DAILY if you can, frequent updates is paramount.
4. Blog about topics or events with YOUR own key words embedded in the content.
5. Up-to-date review sites about products that have rich quality content with key words gives you an advantage in ranking.
Google is essentially telling you what their indexers and bots look for when ranking web pages. Listen to what they are telling you, take this information and start blogging, not once a month, but daily if you can. Make sure your blog is monetized to maximize your opportunities for profit and lead generation.

Would you rather stick needles in your eyes then blog? 10 Ways to Make Life Easier for Bloggers with limited time and writing ability.

Ok, you know you are supposed to blog. The marketing experts agree that blogging consistently is a sure-fire way to get your site well indexed by the search engines and get those oh-so-important backlinks for your site. But let’s face the reality. Coming up with fresh interesting blog content 365 days a year is darn difficult. You know it’s important but getting started is so hard. You understand you need the value that blogging provides from search engines gobbling up your content. But how? ! How do you come up with fresh blog content and find the time. Here’s some ideas to make your life easier but also to get better results for your efforts.
 
1. Blog about what you know or are passion about so the words stream from your keyboard rather then having to struggle to spit out the words and put sentences together. It’s always easier to talk about something you know or care about or that is controversial then technical or dry topics.
 
2. You don’t have to be an expert (unless you really are an expert and offering expert content on a specific topic). Write about specifics if you can, generalities if you have to, but write about something!
 
3. You don’t have to be a blogger who writes with grammatical perfection. Your English teacher is not reading your blog. Stop thinking that the world is going to judge you critically if you misspell a word or don’t know all the rules of grammar. Of course you want your blog to be as good as it can be, but don’t let the quest for perfection make a 20 minute blog post take you hours to complete.  (If you find a typo in this post, I don’t want to hear about it).
 
4. Ideally, to get the most benefit from search engines indexing your blog, you want to blog about topics related to your products, service or business. But that can be really tough to write about just one subject every day. Try spacing out your blogs so that some are on topic for your purpose, while others are off topic, or about current events. Add in your Resource Box at the end of every post (see point 7 below).
 
5. Keep your blog posts short. Keep your blog to the point, itemize, organize, number points if you have to. Do what you have to do make it easy and quick for you to write and easy and quick for your readers to digest. Sometimes less is more.
 
6. Let the world around you be your inspiration for blogs topics. This can include songs, newspaper headlines, nature, current events, other bloggers, daily happenings in the course of your life, things your kids say or do. Get the idea. There are NO limits.
 
7. Always, conclude your post with a Resource Box or Author info section with every blog. Why? So that your contact info and identifying information is tagged with EVERY blog post and not tucked away on an About page. Ensure that your Resource Box includes your name, contact details, areas of expertise, and link to your site or landing page. It is also a good idea to weave your optimal key words into your Resource Box. This way the key words you want people to find you with are associated with your blog, your name, and your company. This proves beneficial if you write about something not directly related to your business, products or services, you still get the benefit of the key word content about yourself, and a backlink to your site, or landing page.
 
8. Sometimes it helps to start with a really catchy Blog title. Take a lesson from the newspapers. They construct clever eye-grabbing attention getting headlines to draw you in. Start with a really bold, in your face, descriptive or reaction provoking headline to get immediate attention. The let your content come forth from the headline.
 
9. Set a goal to blog on a regular basis. If you can’t blog every day, then do it every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Set exact dates and times that work for you. If you don’t you will always find some other distraction to convince yourself is more important. Set a goal, stick to it, do it!
 
10. Make the most of the time you have spent on your blog by then tweeting it, posting it to Linked In, adding to your Facebook profile and other social media sites. Maximize the power of the time you spent blogging by utilizing social media to spread the message to other sites. You can use automated tools to do this to save time. Include links to your social media sites on your blog itself for even more exposure.
