Hello,

One of my web pages got penalized for using certain words. I did not put them there but some spammer added some comments that contained the forbidden words. Anybody can add a comment on that page and if some comments where offensive or pure SPAM I would just delete them. It looks like the GoogleBot indexed the page before I got the chance of deleting the offensive comments because I can see the offensive comments on the copy of the page from Googleâ€™s cache.

After this unfortunate event it is clear to me that every comment needs to be moderated before it is allowed on the page. My web site is small (with just over 1500 unique visitors a month) so itâ€™s hard to understand why someone would bother to spam such a low traffic web site almost daily. I can only image how big the SPAM problem is for popular web sites.

My question is: how long will I get stuck in this situation ? If Google will reindex the page and see that the offensive words were removed will it just remove the penalty ? Or the penalty will remain for a longer period of time because of the â€œbad historyâ€ of the page ?

I would appreciate an answer from somebody who has been in a similar situation.

Regards,
Razvan
