Welcome to the Q&A Forum

@Sabirasifseo999 Hello,

I understand the urgency of your situation and the frustration of not seeing your efforts reflected in the SERP rankings. There are several potential factors that might be influencing your website's poor ranking despite following best practices. Here are some steps and considerations to help diagnose and address the issue:

Technical SEO Audit:

Crawlability and Indexability: Use tools like Screaming Frog or Google Search Console to ensure that all important pages are crawlable and indexed by search engines.
Mobile-Friendliness: Check if the website is mobile-friendly using Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test. Mobile usability is crucial for rankings.
Site Speed: Analyze the site's loading speed using tools like Google PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix. Slow-loading pages can negatively impact rankings.
SSL Certificate: Ensure the website uses HTTPS, as it is a ranking factor.
Content Quality and Relevance:

Content Depth and Uniqueness: Ensure that your content is unique, comprehensive, and provides real value to users. Thin or duplicate content can harm rankings.
User Engagement: Check metrics like bounce rate, average session duration, and pages per session in Google Analytics. Poor user engagement can indicate content or usability issues.
Internal Linking: Use internal links to help search engines understand the site structure and to distribute link equity across pages.
Backlink Profile:

Quality of Backlinks: Use tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush to analyze your backlink profile. Focus on acquiring high-quality backlinks from authoritative and relevant sites.
Anchor Text Diversity: Ensure that the anchor text of backlinks appears natural and varied.
Disavow Toxic Links: Identify and disavow any low-quality or spammy backlinks that might be harming your site's credibility.
Competitor Analysis:

Keyword Gap Analysis: Use tools like SEMrush or Ahrefs to compare your keyword rankings with those of your competitors. Identify gaps and opportunities.
Content and Backlink Strategies: Analyze top-ranking competitors to understand what content and backlink strategies they are employing successfully.
User Experience (UX) and Design:

Ease of Navigation: Ensure that the site’s navigation is intuitive and user-friendly.
Interactivity and Design: High-quality, interactive, and visually appealing design can enhance user engagement and satisfaction.
Local SEO (if applicable):

Google My Business: Ensure your Google My Business profile is fully optimized and regularly updated if local SEO is relevant for your business.
Local Citations: Ensure consistency in NAP (Name, Address, Phone number) across local directories and citations.
Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustment:

SEO is an ongoing process. Regularly monitor your rankings, traffic, and other SEO metrics. Be ready to adjust your strategies based on performance data and algorithm updates.
By systematically addressing these areas, you can identify the specific issues affecting your site's rankings and take appropriate actions to improve your visibility on SERPs.

Please provide any additional information or specific details about the site's SEO history and current strategies if available, and I'll be happy to offer more targeted advice.

@ManpowerVietnam said in Website is flagged as Compromised Site by Google:

Hi everyone,
We have been running Google Ads for a while now and last week all of our Google Ads were paused with reason Compromised Site. We reached out to Google and they identify this page as one of the affected page: https://manpower.com.vn/vi/dich-vu-san-dau-nguoi-and-tu-van-nhan-su-cap-cao?
The malicious links they found are:
• googie-anaiytics[.]com
• vty68[.]net
We have asked our Website vendor to scan and they found nothing. We would be greatly appreciated if you could help.
I tried Google Search Console and even the tool Google Safe Browsing that Google itself suggested but both the tools showed that our website does not have any malicious links at all. And yet Google Ads support team keeps telling us our page contains these links.
I am wondering if anyone in the community has experienced this before and how did you address this issue.
Or could you guys please help to share any tools that you know can do a deep scan on this page and if possible our entire website to help us identify where the links are located?
Please let me know if you need any additional information from us and I would be happy to provide it.

I understand the frustration you're experiencing with the Google Ads suspension due to a "Compromised Site" issue. Here are some steps and tools you can use to deeply scan your website and address this problem:

Manual Inspection:

Check Source Code: Manually inspect the source code of the affected page for any references to the malicious links (googie-anaiytics[.]com, vty68[.]net). These might be hidden in scripts or embedded in iframes.
Browser Developer Tools: Use browser developer tools (F12) to inspect the network activity on the affected page. Look for any unexpected network requests to the malicious domains.
Online Security Scanners:

Sucuri SiteCheck: This free tool scans your website for malware, blacklisting status, injected spam, and defacements. You can access it here.
VirusTotal: Submit the URL of the affected page to VirusTotal to get a report from multiple antivirus engines. You can use it here.
Quttera: This tool provides a detailed report on any suspicious content or malware on your website. Try it here.
Web Security Plugins:

Wordfence (for WordPress): If your website is running on WordPress, install Wordfence Security. It provides comprehensive scanning and firewall protection.
MalCare (for WordPress): Another WordPress security plugin that offers malware scanning and removal.
Server-Side Scanning:

ClamAV: If you have access to your server, you can run ClamAV, an open-source antivirus engine, to scan your web directories for malware.
Maldet (Linux Malware Detect): This tool can be used on Linux servers to find and quarantine malware.
Professional Help:

If the issue persists, consider hiring a professional web security service or a cybersecurity expert to perform an in-depth analysis and cleanup.
Once you've performed a thorough scan and cleanup, you should:

Submit a Review Request: Inform Google Ads support that you've taken steps to clean your site and request a review.
Monitor Regularly: Set up regular scans and monitoring to prevent future compromises.
If anyone in the community has faced a similar issue or has additional tools and tips to share, your input would be greatly appreciated.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance or specific information. I'm here to help.
