Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that someone maliciously linked to your website. If you suspect that your site is a victim of internal site search spam attacks, you can take the following steps:
-
Identify the Malicious Links: Check your website for any suspicious links, especially in the internal search feature.
-
Prevent Crawling: You can prevent Google from indexing these links by disallowing them through robots.txt or using a “noindex” meta tag.
-
Request Removal: If the links are already indexed, you can request removal through Google Search Console. Here’s a detailed guide on how to raise a removal request in Google Search Console.
-
Contact External Sites: Reach out to the external sites linking to your website and request them to remove or change the links.
If you need further assistance or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our support team here. We are here to help you.
Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention.
