Anti-Spam Audit

All SEOToolSet™ Certified Analysts must submit themselves to random anti-spam audits throughout the year. These audits are meant to uphold the integrity of the SEOToolSet™ Certified seal by making sure that our SEOToolSet™ Certified Analysts are not violating the SEOToolSet™ anti-spam rules, the SEOToolSet™ Code of Conduct and operating outside of the bounds of the SEO Code of Ethics and the law. All anti-spam audits are completely unannounced and are done both by manual and mechanized review of all websites optimized by a specific Certified Analyst. After an anti-spam audit is finished, we send the Certified Analyst the results of their audit to post on their website.

If the anti-spam audit is unsatisfactory, the Certified Analyst is warned once and instructed to bring their websites up to code. Then, they are re-audited. If the second anti-spam audit is also unsatisfactory, the Certified Analyst is suspended in the SEOToolSet™ Certified Directory.

If you have found evidence of anyone with the SEOToolSet™ Certification seal violating these rules, please use the form below to launch an investigation on the alleged spamming site. If you would like to report a spamming website to us, regardless of if they are SEOToolSet™ Certified or not, please report their spam violation as soon as possible and our anti-spam audit team will review your claim.
