Hi all,
I recently started a forum type blog with forumotion and am now having second thoughts and regrets. There are lots available and forumotion sounded ideal. I write articles with a number of academic and information references and after a few weeks find that ‘Viglinks’ has literally taken over 90% of the links in the articles and it now resembles a spam farm!
I’ve excluded the site from the SEO inclusion board and yes, I’ve switched off the underlining for guests, all to no avail . . . no wonder it’s been so difficult to get good SEO and initially I wondered why! The only option I have left is to take out the reference keywords, or try another forum provider that isn’t so spam driven. Transparent advertising yes, but the way ‘Viglinks’ has taken over my post references and headers is ridiculous. Is anyone else having this problem and is there a way to get rid of this intrusive spam maker?
