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.
