: How to Remove Spam Links to Wordpress Site My hacked WP site has been scanned and cleansed. However, the site is still getting a high volume of requests to non-existent pages on my domain
My hacked WP site has been scanned and cleansed.
However, the site is still getting a high volume of requests to non-existent pages on my domain
eg. 3095/lissome/4125_campward.jp
What I do not know is :
How to stop getting these requests for "spam links" (is this the correct name for these links ? )
Where are these links located ? Because I know that my site has nothing to do with Japanese products !
Why would the hacker put thousands of these non-existent links back to my site ?
I have looked at Google Webmaster Console and think I have located where the links are coming from ( microformats.org ) and there are 1000s of these links.
I am a newbie on the topic and would appreciate any input

Even when you have deleted the malware from your site the fact that in effect additional pages where made available on your site those pages will have been detected by search engine crawlers and will have been linked to by third party sites. These requests will continue to come through for as long as those links exist on the third party sites or the search engines. The only thing that you can do is to have the non existent URL's return a 404 not found error (proper 404 header not a soft 404).
