Why are my website images linking to spam websites?


I'm sure you're aware of the Google Webmaster Guidelines' spam provisions. If you're testing the waters with digital marketing services, here's the short version: don't fool search engines with hidden text, hidden links, keyword stuffing, duplicate content, or doorway pages.


Many images on the web pages are not spam, but they do give off a spammy vibe. These things will be noticed right away by people, and that's a horrible first impression. Ordinary online users may not understand why a website image like this does not appear appropriate to them. Still, they may suspect that it is not a trustworthy company or a high-quality resource, and they will search for your needs elsewhere. If your website is one of them, you should expect a high bounce rate.

So what are the clues that triggered the "spam" radar?


Image spam is a type of spam, or rather a spam technique, in which a spam message is delivered in the form of an image. This is done in an attempt to bypass spam filters by looking for specific keywords. This works because a user can read an image, whereas many anti-spam systems cannot.


Some of the possible reasons could be that your website is filled with unauthorized backlinks. Try removing spammy backlinks from your website, and the problem will be resolved.


Another reason could be the wrong source of picking the image. Usually, it happens that people download images from restricted sites that might lead to spam images.


Another reason is that you are using the images uploader feature filled with malware and corrupted, leading to redirecting towards the spam websites.


To safely run a diagnosis of your website, identify the links that are redirecting towards spam websites.
