Understanding Blocklists

Google blocklists over 10,000 websites every day. With over 100 blocklisting authorities, that means a lot of websites are being blocked for serving malicious content. When a website is blocklisted, it loses nearly 95% of organic traffic, causing serious risks to your business, revenue, and brand reputation.

Reasons to Avoid Blocklisting

Maintaining your website integrity and reputation is a big responsibility. Blocklisting authorities feel the same way about protecting their users. They will quickly flag your website if they have evidence that it could be harmful. Most often a malicious payload is hidden on your website that could possibly infect visitors, including executables, trojans, phishing, pharma hacks, and information stealers.

Blocklisting Protects Visitors

Search engines have built a business on providing valuable results to their users. It is in their best interest to avoid listing web spam or malicious content without sufficient warnings. Similarly, desktop antivirus programs have a responsibility to keep their users’ computers protected from viruses. A common way to accomplish this is to block access to websites that are known to distribute drive-by-downloads and malicious payloads.

Blocklist Causes and Effects

Blocking pages and alerts usually include links to more information about the malicious behavior detected on the affected website. Once the website has been flagged, the authority pushes blocklisting results to its network. This means if anyone is using their product, the visitor will see a warning when accessing the website.

Compound Blocklisting

Blocklist authorities also leverage partner networks. Whenever a website is blocklisted, the result propagates through the entire network, prompting other authorities to investigate and block the malicious website. That is why it’s important to engage with the original blocklisting authority before others take notice and your reputation and rankings are affected.

Fix Common Blocklisting Symptoms

Unwanted redirects to porn, scam, phishing, or other unexpected third-party domains.

Hacked and malicious software warnings for Google, Bing, and other search authorities.

Host has shut your website down or notified you that you are infected.

Pharmaceutical references or SEO spam on your website and search results.

Unexpected bank directories on your server or references on your web pages.

Clients are complaining that desktop antivirus programs are blocking your website.

New administrators or users in your website that you didn’t create or authorize.

Your website is flagged as part of a Phishing Lure campaign.

FAQs

  • How long does blocklist removal take?

    The time it takes for your site to be delisted from a blacklist will actually depend on who is blacklisting your site.

    As soon as we’re done removing all malware from your site, we will get in touch with Google, McAfee, Yandex, Norton, and any other blacklisting agencies asking for a review of your site.

    Some companies are faster than others, but they usually take from three to five business days to remove sites from their blacklists and there is no way to speed up this process. Once the search engine has reviewed the request, warnings presented on your website and in search results should disappear.

  • How do you get rid of blocklisting?

    In our regular clean up plans we offer malware cleanup as well as website blacklist removal. This means that we will contact blacklist authorities to let them know that your site has been cleaned and that the warning can be removed. Once the search engine has reviewed the request, warnings presented on your website and in search results will disappear.

  • How do I get rid of the “This site may be hacked” warning?

    If you’re seeing a “This site may be hacked” message when you search for your site on Google, it doesn’t mean it’s blacklisted by their Safe Browsing program. It just means that Google found suspicious activity on your site and thinks it may have an issue. Our team can assist with removing this warning for your domain.
