🔍 Understanding Spam Links in OTTO Blogs
Spam links can appear in blogs created by OTTO SEO when content generation pulls from unverified external sources or when link filters are not applied. This issue affects multiple sites if project settings allow broad content scraping without quality checks.
🛠️ Steps to Investigate the Problem
Start by reviewing recent blog posts in your OTTO SEO projects. Check for any links pointing to low-quality or unrelated domains. Use the AI Visibility section under OTTO SEO to scan active projects and identify patterns in generated content.
- Navigate to Left sidebar then OTTO SEO.
- Select the affected project from the Active list.
- Review blog output for embedded links and note any spam patterns.
- Compare across multiple sites to see if the issue is widespread.
🚀 How to Prevent Spam Links
Configure your OTTO SEO settings to restrict link sources and enable content validation before publishing. Apply these changes to all projects to avoid recurrence.
- Set strict domain filters in project creation to block known spam sites.
- Enable quality scoring for all generated content in the AI Visibility tools.
- Review and approve links manually for new blogs until filters are tuned.
- Run regular scans on all active projects to catch issues early.
📊 Monitoring and Ongoing Checks
Schedule periodic audits using the Visibility and Topics sections to maintain clean content across sites. Update filters as new spam sources emerge to protect your entire account.
