Japanese Keyword Hack on WordPress (SEO Spam & Hidden Pages Removal)
Is your site displaying Chinese or Japanese symbols in Google? Seeing "Slot Gacor" or Pharma links? I manually remove the cloaked malware and force Google to de-index the spam.
"My Site Looks Fine, But Google Says..."
If you are saying any of these things, your site is infected with the Japanese Keyword Hack.
Japanese/Chinese Symbols
"Why is my title and description in Japanese? I didn't put that there."
Invisible to You
"The site looks fine to me when I visit, but Google shows weird text."
Mobile Redirects
"It works on desktop, but on my phone it redirects to a gambling site."
Casino/Slot Spam
"I see links for Slot Gacor, Online Casino, or Betting sites in my sitemap."
404 Errors Spiking
"Search Console shows thousands of 404 errors for pages I never created."
Fake Products
"My site is selling cheap Louis Vuitton or Gucci bags appearing in search."
What Is Actually Happening? (Cloaking)
Hackers are exploiting your Domain Authority to rank for illegal or high-value keywords.
The "Pharma" Hack
Injecting pages for Viagra, Cialis, Xanax, and generic drugs. These have high "Purchase Intent" modifiers.
Luxury Brand Spam
Fake product pages for Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Rolex. They use your site's trust to scam buyers.
Casino & Gambling
Keywords like "Slot Gacor", "Online Casino". Often invisible on desktop but redirects mobile users.
Why Security Plugins & DIY Cleanups Fail
- ×Plugins scan files, but they cannot see Cloaking (what Google sees).
- ×Deleting files doesn't fix the 98,000+ URLs already in Google's index.
- ×Nulled theme backdoors often regenerate the spam immediately.
- ✓I simulate Google Bot to find 100% of the hidden content.
- ✓I use a 410 Gone Strategy to purge Google's index fast.
- ✓I perform a Database Audit to remove spam injected into
wp_options.
My Manual "De-Index & Clean" Protocol
I don't just delete files. I ensure the spam is wiped from Google Search Console.
Backdoor Hunt
Locating the hidden PHP shells and Nulled Theme code allowing entry.
Sitemap Wipe
Destroying the malicious XML sitemaps containing thousands of spam links.
Database Scrub
Removing Japanese text and "Slot Gacor" links from your wp_posts table.
410 Strategy
Crucial: Telling Google these pages are PERMANENTLY gone (not just 404).
GSC Audit
Submitting removal requests and verifying ownership in Search Console.

Questions About Japanese SEO Spam
Why does site:example.com still show spam after I deleted files?
Deleting files isn't enough. Google has "cached" these spam pages. Until Google recrawls your site, they will remain. My "410 Gone" strategy forces Google to drop them faster.
How long until my traffic recovers?
For Japanese SEO spam, once the "410" status is active, we usually see spam dropping from the index in 5-10 days. Traffic recovery follows shortly after.
Why do I see thousands of 404 errors in Search Console?
The hackers generated thousands of fake URLs. Now that (maybe) the hack is partially broken, those pages don't exist, causing 404s. I fix this by telling Google to ignore them completely.
Is this caused by a plugin?
Often, yes. This hack frequently enters through "Nulled" (pirated) plugins or unpatched vulnerabilities in older plugins. I will identify the exact entry point.
Stop Selling "Viagra" or "Fake Gucci"
I will confirm if it's a false positive or a real attack, and give you a plan to fix it.
