This is my Last SEO Post!

[yukon]

I'm out of here (WF) until someone gets this damn SEO forum spam under control!

Good luck to the real forum members,

[UMS]

Know how you feel. Can't count the number of times I've clicked on the report button today.

[trustumar]

They should add minimum post condition to have links in signature.

So true. I have posted about it and also REPORTED some but nothing happened.

Also the spammers are getin' better and better and it is hard to understand a legitimate post and a spam post.

[nicktyler]

Too many people just want to spam everywhere. I don't get it. It basically just defeats the object of SEO. I suppose they aer just the lazy who want quick wins for themselves and f*ck the rest of us.

[MikeFriedman]

The number of spammers is becoming overwhelming. I think it would be beneficial to the community to add a few more moderators. I have to imagine it is a really difficult job for the moderators to keep up with all the threads and posts, plus spend time in their real life.

I wouldn't really complain if they got rid of signatures altogether. Then see how many people post useless drivel.

[simonbuzz]

this forum is getting spammed everyday with useless people who are just here to make backlinks for their site..I am also tired of reporting spam posts.

[jimmy69]

Not quite true ... there are many who come here to learn.

Yukon what about out SEO case study?

[masterjani]

Biggest problem now is to find the difference between real question by real members and spam question posted by spammer just to increase post count.

So it is difficult to help real members.

[rinor81]

Don't leave us man, just stick to what you know and share your opinion with the people you respect and want to learn, to all spammers just don't reply and that's it....you'll be missed man...

[scruffy77]

yukon i love your posts man and wanted to pm you about something but I havent reached 50 posts yet, if you could pm me id appreciate it, i want your opinion on ad placement

[Buyseech]

Just make the signatures NO FOLLOW...

Real people will post real questions, that add value. And if they ve written something else (like 500 1000+ words) of the answer on their blog people will go and visit it. I see no problems with this whatsoever, but these "I love your post!" and 10 links for "Cialis" "Bamboo furniture" "Guitar lessons" in the signature is B.S.!

I think there should also be moderation for the CONSTANT pop-ups of the same exact questions which have been answered 1000 times in 1000 topics.

People trying to get an answer to a quewstion that was not addresses before get thronw on page 3. in 10 minutes and noone even sees it...

Hope the admins are listening...

My 2 cents..

I think the biggest problem with this section of WF is the allowance of overall crappy and low quality posts that would get accounts banned on just about every other forum.

Not sure why the leniency of posts like

"I agree"
"Sound good, agree me too"

and garbage like that. Really should have an updated policy about this if you ask me.

It's called MEMBER MODERATION, guys. Not enough people are bothering to report this stuff and that's why it stays.

The leniency is not on the part of the official mods - they just don't see it if those who frequent this section don't bring it to their attention.

Remember, this forum gets hundreds of new posts every day and moderators are volunteers. There is no possible way for them to catch all this stuff, particularly in the subforums.

[IM Ash]

Yukon... dude... you can't leave this forum...

Out of the few member posts that I do read you are on top! But I understand where you coming from... I hardly enter this forum anyway because of what you mention.

Oh trust me, I do what I can, but wow is it disheartening. Maybe we need more member moderators than. Obviously WF has a ton of traffic, but as do the other forums that I'm referring to. Maybe they just have a quicker banhammer.

[John Williamson]

I think some effective cost-efficient solutions would be to A) make a minimum post requirement before allowing sig links - as someone said above, or B) minimum post requirement before allowing users to start their own threads, or C) nofollow sig links, or D) all of the above or some combination of the above.

[LiamP]

Yeah I kinda feel the same way. Lots more useful SEO conversations going on at the backlinks forum these days.

[warner444]

On some other forums, like v7n, I see people being banned on a regular basis. Maybe banning more people is the answer. More people should just try to answer questions and add something.

[xylement]

farewell yukon, hope to see you again soon. =)

[GeronimoBee]

Damn, I just tried to pm ya about this just yesterday--still not enough posts.

Be ez man.

[AdamWagner]

I have no problem with upping the post count before signatures are allowed. I wish there was a way to stop spammers from asking the same questions over and over again...Sometimes it is hard to find genuine content or answers.

Any recommendations on other SEO forums with less spam?

[MarketerJosh]

Really? What spam posts? I am on this for at least 3 hours a day and I feel that I don't see a lot of spam. Maybe its just because I can not tell what is/not spam?

If you think a post is spam simply because they have a link in their post.... thats not true.

[MarketerJosh]

I thought links WERE nofollow. Does it bug you that I have a link in my sig? I could make it read (dot) org instead of .org?

[bestrevenueshare]

Friends, it is not very difficult to differentiate real members from those ** spammers. I also beleive that there are some evergreen questions, folks always try to find. But you would probably say that 'search before ask' ... Is it good for this forum? There are already nearly 6000000 threads have been posted, probably 90% would.... have... your answers...

Personally I came this forum just to build backlinks, but I'm in love with this forum because of you guys, and backlinks ... Are nothing more than crap**

[JRCarson]

Isn't this kind of happening EVERYWHERE on the entire internet?

It's a fact of life now.

[pearsonbrown]

It is not happening any more in the Reviews section, where it used to be much worse than this. ;-)

If only one of the mods from there would volunteer to help out here too ;-)

No it's not. The poster above me (anery) is an excellent example.

[Mike Anthony]

Blah.... I give yukon 48 hours tops and I bet we will seem him back. Shortest vacation ever.

Actually is easy find spam person have the problem can!

[paulgl]

I don't think people on a whole mind posts for sig links, if
the questions and answers are meaningful. The problem
is, too many people cargo on crapola about nothing to
spam posts.

I think I stopped by yesterday and saw the first half of the posts
nothing but one liners like, "What google is? I help need please me."

And idiot people actually answering them!

The good stuff has been getting buried lately.

But come on, Yukon. Stop by daily just for laughs.

[pearsonbrown]

Allen has agreed that I can moderate in this forum. One thing that strikes me immediately is that there are not enough stickies at the top of the forum. That would cut down on the endless similar questions about Adsense, Google dance etc. I hope some of you experienced people will help me with that.

By the way, I earn about four thousand dollars a month from Adsense and I have several number one sites so I do have a bit of relevant experience. Not much good on PPC though. I used it a lot in the days of goto.com and overture but it is too much like hard work for me these days ;-)

[SimpleSEOTips]

I've only been a member of this forum for approximately two months. Even within this time I have seen the amount of spam increasing quite significantly. It certainly is frustrating when what could be a very valuable thread for discussion becomes filled with "me too" and "thanks for sharing".... the thanks button is there for a reason!

It's no surprise that in my time the people who I value contributions from the most are mainly those who have commented on this particular thread.

@Yukon I do hope you choose to stay on this forum as you do provide a very valued opinion. Refreshing too that you don't have any agenda to upsell WSO's or other services when you do share and contribute.

With Pearson so kindly becoming a moderator and this thread itself (and this one: Reporting spam in this section ) hopefully serving as a kick up the... for all members of the forum who do see its value, I'm optimistic that the report button will be actioned on a lot more.

Personally, I would have no problem seeing signature links being unavailable to anyone who have below a certain post/thanks count, all links becoming nofollow, or even sig links being removed completely in this forum.

More stickies for FAQs, Rules of the Forum, and additional moderators could really help out. And, as Tina mentioned above, the greater focus on member moderator might see this forum contain only valuable information for those who want to learn and share.

[GeronimoBee]

Ay, Also Yukon. If you check this thread pm me an email that I can contact you on dude, want to talk shop about some things.

[John Williamson]

While we're on the subject of cluttering and such, I also get tired of seeing the exact same recycled questions being asked over and over again by different people. People seem to forget that the forum has a search feature or that you can simply search in Google and use "site:warriorforum.com" - I do this all the time.

I suppose it's just something you've got to put up with, but if I had a dime for every time I've seen a new thread or answered a question concerning .info's and TLD's, I'd be able to quit IM altogether and retire.....

[GeronimoBee]

An you know what dudes. I know I don't really post here that much. But I feel as though it isn't just the blatant spam that makes these forums suck.

It is the frustratingly stupid posts that dominate the boards.

Indecisive spineless nitwits that can't make a simple decision and learn.

Just waiting for people to tell them what they want to hear.

Stuff like.

"Should I bother about social bookmarking?"
"How rare is an actual pr 8 link low OBL?"
"Should I Ping my backlinks every 2 or three days?"
"Is Article Marketing Dead?"

People going over the same stuff and acting like Moses feeding the peasants with their list of high PR Article directories. Then you have to put up with 4000 nitwits upping the post by thanking them and saying "good tip".

And Generic responses like.

"That can be a vary profitable method...if used correctly"
"Great now you can just scale and make $100 XD"

I swear if IM's made a concsious choice to eschew all Internet Marketing Idioms and bs terminology they would do a lot better because it would force you to actually think.

[JoshuaG]

I'm glad someone commented on this. I've been really pissed off about the amount of spam as well. Hopefully all those who care will also comment in this thread. Please make your voice heard so something will be done about this.

[XtremXpert]

Seems like there's spam even in this thread.

I left most of this forum for this reason a few months ago. I kept asking for smaller signatures, a minimum number of posts before being allowed one and so on but it seems that months passed and nothing changed.

[FabianSmith]

This is not fair yukon........

[LeeLee]

I mostly just ignore spam. I guess since I know what it is all about (products specifically telling people to post here, people who don't know the difference between a post and spam) I really try not to let it bother me.

After reading this thread, I realize I am not doing my share here. I may not have a lot of good advice to offer but I do enjoy reading and interacting with other people out there exploring the final entrepreneurial frontier.

Going forward I am going to try to make better use of the report button. It really takes no effort. I don't want to see the talented people give up on this great resource. There are other forums but they pale in comparison to the Warrior Forum.
