Zinn® SEO how-to: Scan your site for SEO spam

Step by step in Zinn® SEO: Check whether your site has been hacked to show spam to search engines, the kind of damage you would not see yourself.

Scan your site for SEO spam

Check whether your site has been hacked to show spam to search engines, the kind of damage you would not see yourself.

  1. Open Protection — Go to SEO, Protection and stay on the Hacked-site scan tab.
  2. Run the scan — The scan looks for spam pages in languages your site does not use, hidden links, pharmacy and casino spam, unknown scripts and pages that show Google something different from your visitors.
  3. Read what it found — The scan changes nothing. It tells you what it found and where, so you or your developer can clean it up.
  4. Pro: keep watch and lock key pages — With Pro the scan runs every week and e-mails you anything new, and the SEO lock tab protects chosen pages from accidental changes to their address or search settings.
