Where can we ask questions about 7.0 things presented at The Big Social?

This question has suggested answer(s)

I did not get a chance to ask while at the event. In particular, I have a question about how SEO is (or is not) impacted when you mark content (e.g. forum post, blog article, comment, etc.) as spam?

  • :s Truly sorry, Phil. Let me see if I can get that question answered for you, as it is one I have recently pondered myself. I promise a greatly reduced turnaround this time.

  • Hey Phil, I have enlisted the help of our very own SEO guru, Supriya Shiyekar to help us figure this out. Supriya, please jump in and let us know what you know. :)

  • Thank you Jenn. Happy to help!

    Hi Phil,

    I will need a little more details on this question.

    Is the user-generated content (article, post, comment) being marked as spam by other users?

  • Yes, that would be one of the more frequent use case scenarios.

    Hi Phil,

    Is the user-generated content (article, post, comment) being marked as spam by other users?

  • Phil, as far as SEO goes, nothing is done when content is initially flagged as spam/abuse by users. As any other user of the site you would not know that the content was flagged by someone else. This allows users to decide for themselves whether they think a piece of content is abusive or spam. However, once enough people flag it as spam (number of users depends on the flagging users' reputation and the content author's reputation) then the content is automatically removed from the site and sent through a review process. To all users of the site the content will appear to be deleted. Depending on the result of the review process the content will either be permanently deleted if it is determined to be spam/abusive or it will be reinstated if it was found to not be. Once content is reinstated there are again no signs that it was ever flagged as abusive/spam or that it ever went through the appeals process.

    I hope that answers your question. Let us know if you'd like more information.
