Japanese Keyword Hack Removal
If Google is showing Japanese spam pages under your domain and your Search Console is full of URLs you never created, your WordPress site has the Japanese keyword hack. I remove the injected content, stop it from regenerating, close the entry point, and help your real pages recover in search.
SIGNS OF THE HACK
Spam pages in a language you don't even use
The Japanese keyword hack hijacks your domain's search authority to rank spam. It quietly generates thousands of pages, so the first sign is often in Google results or Search Console — not on the site itself.
- Google results for your site show pages in Japanese you never created
- Search Console reports hundreds or thousands of unknown indexed URLs
- Auto-generated pages selling counterfeit brand-name products
- A “Sitemap contains URLs which are blocked by robots.txt” style anomaly
- New sitemap files or a modified robots.txt you didn't add
- A rogue admin account added to keep re-injecting content
THE SERVICE
What Japanese keyword hack removal includes
HOW IT WORKS
A structured approach to clearing the injection
1. Assess the spread
The Japanese keyword hack works by mass-generating spam pages under your domain. I use Search Console and a full crawl to understand how many URLs were injected and where the content is coming from.
2. Remove the source
I remove the malicious scripts, cron jobs, and files generating the spam pages — not just the pages themselves, which regenerate if the source is left in place.
3. Clean & restore
Injected database content, rogue sitemaps, and modified robots.txt are cleaned and restored to a legitimate state, and any rogue admin accounts are removed.
4. Recover in search
Once clean, I help with the Search Console steps — removing spam URLs and requesting a review — so your real pages recover their place in search.
FAQ
Japanese Keyword Hack FAQs
What is the Japanese keyword hack?
It's a WordPress SEO-spam attack that injects thousands of auto-generated pages full of Japanese text — usually advertising counterfeit goods — under your domain. Google indexes them, and your search results fill with spam pages you never made, damaging your rankings and reputation.
Why do fake pages keep coming back after I delete them?
Because the attack installs a generator — a malicious script or cron job — that recreates the spam pages automatically. Deleting the pages without removing the generator and closing the entry point means they simply regenerate. The fix has to target the source.
Will my real pages come back in Google?
Usually, yes, once the site is clean and the spam URLs are handled in Search Console. Recovery isn't instant — Google needs to recrawl — but removing the infection and requesting a review is what starts the recovery.
How did my site get hacked with this?
Most commonly through an outdated plugin or theme with a known vulnerability, a weak admin password, or an already-present backdoor. Finding the specific entry point is part of the cleanup, because closing it is what prevents reinfection.
Do you also handle the Google side?
Yes. Once the site is genuinely clean, I can guide you through the Search Console security-issue review and the removal of the spam URLs, so both the site and its search listings recover.

Spam pages taking over your search results?
The longer the injection runs, the more spam Google indexes under your name. Removing the source early makes the search recovery faster and cleaner.
