        @CerenSEO, addressing SEO-related defamation can be tough, but there are actionable steps you can take. First, try contacting the website owner to request the removal of the harmful content. If that doesn’t work, consider seeking legal advice to explore options for a defamation claim, especially if the content is damaging. Utilize SEO tools like Moz to analyze backlinks and identify any suspicious activities that may be affecting your reputation. It's also crucial to document all instances of harassment, as this evidence can be valuable in legal proceedings. Lastly, focus on creating positive content to help push down negative search results and improve your online presence.

        I also think that this is a right way to handle this issue. take screenshots from website, first contact website admin then also contact his domain hosting and domain provider

          Dealing with SEO-related harassment and defamation can be tricky, but there are some steps you can take to mitigate the issue:

          Removing Content: If the content is defamatory and public, getting it removed directly from Google is difficult. However, you can file a legal request if it violates local laws. Another approach is to push down negative results by creating positive content with proper SEO strategies, such as publishing blogs, social profiles, or other relevant content.

          Identifying Techniques Used: You mentioned that the website is a PDF. Even PDFs can be optimized for SEO using backlinks, keywords, and meta tags. Tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush can help analyze the backlinks and SEO strategies applied to that specific content. Also, checking for hidden keywords or optimized metadata in the PDF can provide proof.

          Proving SEO Manipulation: If you suspect someone is using SEO against you, documenting changes in search results over time can be useful. You can track keyword rankings, analyze backlinks, and monitor any new content or manipulative techniques through SEO analysis tools.

          If you need more insight into SEO techniques and how they might be used, feel free to explore resources on digital marketing that cover these topics in detail.

                Hi,
                I am new here and I have an issue to solve. I do not anything about SEO.
                My ex harasses me using SEO and causing defamation by crawling unwanted website. Google does not remove the website as it is public record.

                1: how can I remove it? I am not even sure if he uses backlink because website link is pdf and he might do some other technics
                2:Although I am sure he uses SEO, I can not prove it and nobody believes me. How can I proof it?

                Unfortunately, removing public record websites from Google can be challenging. However, you can try the following steps:

                Google's Removal Tool: Use Google's removal tool to request the removal of outdated or specific content, but it's limited to certain cases.
                SEO Expert: Consult with an SEO expert who can analyze the situation, identify harmful backlinks or tactics, and help mitigate their impact.
                Legal Advice: Consider seeking legal advice to address the harassment and potentially take legal action against your ex.
                To prove the SEO tactics, an SEO expert can analyze the web activity to provide evidence of manipulation.

                                Contact the website owner to request removal of your information or use Google’s URL Removal Tool if the content is removed or blocked. You can also use Moz to analyze backlinks and document any suspicious SEO activities.

                                    Google search console 380,000 spam backlinks

                                    negative seo spam backlink attack

                                    Hi guys, I recently suffered a major negative seo attack against my site, with more than 380K spam backlinks using more than 5k domains. Because of this, I'm having serious problems tracking my site's statistics in GSC due to the limit of only 1000 query lines. Please, I need help on how I can get access to all these 5,000 domains in the search console so I can create a disavow list. Any tips on how to clean this up?

                                    I want to move some pages of my website to a folder and nav menu in those pages should only show inner page links, will it hurt SEO?

                                    Hi, My website has a few SaaS products, to make my website simple i want to move my website some pages to its specific folder structure , so eg website.com/product1/features
                                    website.com/product1/pricing
                                    website.com/product1/information and same for product2 and so on, the website.com/product1/.. menu will only show the links of product1 and only one link to homepage (possibly in footer). Please share your opinion will it be a good idea, from UI perspective it will be simple , but i am not sure about SEO perspective, please help thanks

                                    Safety Data Sheet PDFs are Showing Higher in Search Results than Product Pages

                                    pdf searchresultshelp

                                    I have a client who just launched an updated website that has WooCommerce added to it. The website also has a page of Safety Data Sheets that are PDFs that contain information about some of the products. When we do a Google search for many of the products the Safety Data Sheets show up first in the search results instead of the product pages. Has anyone had this happen and know how to solve the issue?

                                    How can I make a list of all URLs indexed by Google?

                                    redirect indexed urls google url index google broken links

                                    I have a large site with over 6000 pages indexed but only 600 actual pages and need to clean up with 301 redirects. Haven't had this need since Google stopped displaying the url's in the results.
