Spam link? Links from linguee.*
-
Hello, in a site, in which I'm working .. in webmaster tools i see a lot of links as following:
With more links to your site:
linguee.es 3.066
linguee.com 2.964
linguee.pe 2.722
linguee.mx 2.721Total inlinks to my site are 20.000, and links incoming from linguee.* are more than 50% !!!
My site is about spanish courses in spain, but i think all these links are fuck*ng me.
I checked if these links have nofollow tag, and not, they don't have this attritute.
What can i do? My site is going down in Google.
¿disavow that domain? Please help.

I've got the same problem with these domains (linguee.com, linguee.es, linguee.pe...).
I've got more than 20.000 backlinks coming from these domains, and I suspect they're damaging my rankings, which have suffered a big drop during the last months.
Did you finally disavow these domains?
-
In site explorer i don't see that links (in first pages) , maybe they have low autority.
-
If they add a nofollow the links won't count towards your link profile in webmaster tools. Now that you mention that these are over 50% of your links it begs the question where are you pulling your full link profile from? If you are only looking at the links in GWT you should dig into Open Site Explorer, Majestic, ahrefs, etc. I would make sure to get a holistic view of your link profile before making any big changes.

Hello, No, i didn't get any email from Google. And in Webmaster Tool there is not message.
But i think i am penalized because for my main keywords i don't see my page in google.
-
Yes, I think they are hurting me, because in only a period of time, they have been converted in my MAIN links (+50% of my links), and this should not be.
If the webmaster add nofollow to them, this links doesn't count in webmaster tools?
-
I would contact the webmaster and ask for the links to be removed or at least nofollowed. If that doesn't work I would disavow the entire domain if you believe these links are hurting you and there aren't any other spammy links in your profile.

I paste some of these links :
http://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/traduccion/c%E1mara+de+comercio+de+madrid.html
http://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/traduccion/certificado+aptitud+pedag�gica.html
http://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/traduccion/certificado+de+aptitud.html
http://www.linguee.es/espanol-ingles/traduccion/clases+de+conversaci�n+guiada.html
(200 links like that, p.e., are pointing to one of my pages)
The links appear bellow translation.
Yes, my site today is not visible in Google, strange, and for my main keywords, my site is not visible.
1 month ago more or less all was ok.

Disavow as a last resort, start by contacting the webmaster of that site and ask them to be removed. Have you reviewed what kind of links these are? comment spam, forum signatures, some other BS?
-
Did you get a message from Google warning about unnatural incoming links? Are you sure you were penalized or think you might have been?
Contact the webmaster, it's owned by one entity and have them remove the links. Don't disavow unless you have been penalized.

Spam Direct Traffic
Hello, Lately, I have been receiving a big amount of unexpected direct traffic from Boston. After analyzing with Analytivs, this is what I get (please, check attachment). Normally I would be blocking this traffic source straight away from my Google Analytics account, and also blocking this traffic from accesing my servers, but check out the analytic metrics: this traffic represents 12% of my total traffic right now!!! av. session duration is 4:53 !! bounce rate is 72% !!!! pages/session 1.44 !! Service provider is "Microsoft Corporation" who looks like one of the typical spammy service providers. My question is, is this a bot?? what do you think ? Thanks, Luis zUlVHIi

Direct / (none) Spam Traffic Help
In July 2015, we experienced an over 1,000% increase in traffic and it has remained like that ever since. It's all spam traffic and I have no clue how to get rid of it. I added in your typical .htaccess blocks from known culprits with little to no effect. Read up on Ghost traffic and applied filters to no effect. The spam is completely distributed as far as I can tell both geographically as well as by network providers. Where once we had pretty decent bounce rates of around 50%, now, since all my Analytics data is meaningless - it's around 90%. I could apply a filter but beyond my GA account providing no insights, I'm also concerned about the increased use of server resources. I'd ideally like to stop the traffic completely. The only distinguishing feature of the traffic that I have been able to determine is browser size. Comparing June 2015 to July 2015 we saw the following: Browser size visits: 620 x 460 = 6,828 vs 0, 610 x 450 = 175 vs 0, 1330 x 630 = 71 vs 1, 1890 x 940 = 67 vs 0, 780 x 580 = 58 v 5. Other than that, I can find no unifying theme to the traffic beyond being traffic hitting our homepage and having no medium. Nothing special that I am aware of happened in July. We didn't do any sort of...really anything. We did have our network compromised by ransomware in the beginning of June, which we promptly ignored and restored backups - at no point did we try to contact the criminals, but I am doubtful there is any connection considering that our website is remotely hosted. If anyone has any suggestions or has seen anything like this before, please let me know. spam-traffic.jpg

Get anchor text, nofollow info etc from a list of links
Hi everybody. I'm currently doing a backlink audit for a client and I've hit a small problem. I'm combining data from Ahrefs, OSE, Webmaster Tools and Link Detox. I've got around 27k links in total now, but the issue is that WMT does not provide data on target page, anchor text and nofollow/dofollow. This means I have around 1k links with only partial information. Does anyone know of a way that I can get this data automatically? Thanks!

Backlink Tool Finding Links That Aren't Visible
I'm using a variety of backlink toolsl; OSE, SEM Rush, Link Research Tools and Google Webmaster Tools. On some occasions the tools are telling me there is a link to my site on a certain page, however when I open that page I can't see any mention of my company. I have run all these reports today, so I think it is unlikely that Google is using old data. Does anyone know why this happens and if I should still be concerned about links that I cannot see but backlink tools are telling me are there? Thanks guys.

Pinterest links have been growing in Webmaster Tools
I've been using Pinterest for a couple of years now. It has been great in promoting our brand and generating referral traffic. My question is this. I've noticed in Webmaster Tools, in the "Links to your site" section, that my links from Pinterest has really shot up.It's gone from 3,500 links, 6 months ago, to over 23,000 recently. Those of you using Pinterest, have you seen a similar increase? Just wondering if Google is recognizing more of the links, even though they are "no-follow" links.
