10. Removing Spam
Spammers target some industries more: fashion, automotive, pharma,
cosmetics, finance – aspirational & consumer brands
Instead of targeting individual authors or sites, target language:
• Inappropriate language (“viagra”, “air jordan”, “porn”)
• Calls to action (“see deals”, “click now”)
• Aggressive language (“FOR SALE”)
• Excessively repeated words (“deals deals deals”)
• Authors with odd names (“user”, “admin”, “__iphone”)
• Reseller language (“bids”, “$”)
