SEO attack protection
In aggressive markets, rankings must be defended as much as earned: toxic links sent by competitors, abusive DMCA complaints, DDoS during traffic peaks, copied content. I spent two years defending market-leading sites on queries everyone wanted to take. I am an independent SEO consultant based in Thailand.
Being attacked is part of the game
Abusive DMCA notices, toxic link waves, DDoS, serial Google reports: I spent several years absorbing that on iGaming SERPs, sent both by Russian networks and by perfectly official affiliate competitors.
Defence happens before the attack: how fast you detect a link wave, who can file a counter-notice, where your backups are. Once the attack is running, the thing you always lack is time.
Who it is for
- Top 3 sites on queries that pay well.
- Affiliate publishers seeing links they never bought.
- Copied brands: duplicated content, DMCA filed against you.
- Sites that already dropped and are looking for the cause.
What you get
- Exposure diagnosis: what can hit you, and through which door.
- Monitoring of the link profile and the SERPs, with alert thresholds.
- Written response procedure: disavow, counter-notice, escalation.
- Recovery plan if the site already took the hit.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know I am under attack?
Sharp drop on a few queries, a wave of unknown links, pages gone from the index: check all three before concluding.
Does link disavow still work?
Yes, but as a last resort and surgical. Mass disavowing as a precaution often hurts more than the attack.
What about an abusive DMCA?
A counter-notification within the deadline, with proof of anteriority. Most abusive complainants never follow up.
