Our tracking system flags links reporting these HTTP response codes: 100, 101, 203, 204, 205, 206, 300, 301, 303, 307, 308, 400, 401, 403, 404, 405, 406, 407, 408, 409, 410, 411, 412, 413, 414, 415, 416, 417, 451, 500, 501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 506, 507, 508, 509, 510, 511, 598, 599. It also records the Content-Length value and flags any link returning a zero content value. GoGuides Spam Tracker also records all 83 curl exit codes and flags expired domain links, index of pages, under construction pages, coming soon and not found pages, low content and low quality pages. Our system is capable of identifying hundreds of different types of linkrot and spammy links.
How accurate is Spam Tracker?
Some of our filters flag spam 100% of the time while other filters hit 80 to 90% of the time. We have one filter that correctly hits 50% of the urls it flags. While that appears low for one filter, that one filter is also looking for over one hundred different types of spam. We currently have our tracker set with 22 filters but those filters collectively can identify hundreds of different types of linkrot and spam. We suggest you manually check each link flagged by our system before removing the link from your system.
Will Spam Tracker flag all the spam in my system?
We estimate that by using GoGuides Spam Tracker you can reduce your linkrot footprint by 75% to 95%. Unfortunately, some spam will always require human review for identification. But rest assured our Spam Tracker will do a very good job of identifying the majority of your linkrot.
Can I see examples of Spam Trackers work?
Yes you can! Simply surf around GoGuides topics clicking on links. How much spam are you finding? This is the same system we are using at GoGuides to keep linkrot, spam, and other decaying links under control. If you happen to find a bad link in GoGuides please click the recycle box beside the url to report the bad link. We use those reports to build additional filters for our Spam Tracker.
I need a very specific type of spam tracked:
No problem. When you send us your url list for processing also note the spammy url you want tracked. We will visit the website and build a special filter to identify all similar links of that nature in your url list. Of course this is part of the service you are ordering so no additional charges for building a special filter. (Limit two special filters per order)
How long will it take to process my order?
Once we receive your url list, and depending on the size of your order, processing could take anywhere from 2 to 6 days. Most orders are completed within 48 hours if no special filters are needed.
Special Instructions:
After payment send us the urls you want checked in text or Excel format. We can also download the list directly from your website ? just send us the url where the list is located. Also include the email address where you want our system to send the crawl report.
----------------------------- Ordering Instructions --------------------------------
After payment send your list of urls needing checked to teamsupport@goguides.org for processing. If you prefer we can download your url list directly from your website? Just send us the url where the list is located. Please include the email address where you want the crawl reports sent. All orders are kept strictly confidential and your url list is deleted after processing. Your crawl report will note the bad links discovered and divide those links into spam types, making the report very easy to read.
