Do you have comments enabled on your vet practice website blog page?

We all get annoying spam emails or see those spam popups sometimes when we’re browsing online. Spam is everywhere. Spam comments are extremely common on websites. Hackers can use programmes to fill the comments sections of website blogs with links to dodgy sites.

Because these types of comments might contain malware, which can harm your website visitors if they click on them, Google has crawlers which can detect malicious links in your comments and penalize your website for hosting spam. This has the potential to badly damage your SEO ranking.

So if you havent checked up on your blog comments in a while, now is a good time to have a look and remove any spam comments.

There's almost never a need to encourage comments on your vet website blog posts - if you have comments enabled, consider asking your web developer to switch them off.
