Thank you!!!! May I ask you what DMCA stands for? Thank you again!

Thank you, Mark!!!!

Nadejda, I would suggest you file a DMCA complaint as well as send an email to the website owner/whois email/contact info. Also suggest reaching out to the domain registrar with a copy of the DMCA as well as to the Hosting company. 8 out of 10 times, this works. 1 out of the other 2 times, the offending site stop ranking and I was okay with that and then the last 1 was a bit of a struggle, took almost 2 months to stop ranking, but Google did identify it as duplicate and drop them in rankings.

Hi Nadejda,
Do you mean your content has been stolen? Sorry, I may be misunderstanding you.
My post from another thread -
If you wish to remove poor quality backlinks -
Use tools such as Ahrefs, OpenSiteExplorer, MajesticSEO and Google Webmaster Tools to identify the poor quality backlinks.
- Contact the relevant website with a suitable email and request the link be removed
- If no response after a week or two, try them again with another email, or via Twitter, Facebook etc
- If every attempt has failed to contact them, still note it down in a spreadsheet for future reference.
- Then, consider using the Disavow tool from Google but **only **if all other methods of contacting these sites fail.
- Unless you have a warning within Webmaster Tools about unnatural links, you won't need to do a re-consideration request. And even then, be cautious. A reconsideration request puts Google's target directly on you.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Best Methods and Tools for Monitoring your Website's Backlinks
Recently, I've launched two websites. I want to make sure I'm doing a good job monitoring our link building efforts. I'm see a lot of tools out there to supplement my use of Open Site Explorer. What I want to know is what tools I should be using to monitor my links? My ultimate goal would be to have the data to track the number of links I'm adding a month so that I can use it for reporting. There is another layer. Because the sites are new, OSE is actually not reporting any links found. I can only find reported links through Google Search Console. Any advice? Is this something where I will just have to wait for everything to get indexed?

My Backlinks droped form 3500 links to 700 in few days
I know it's strange but this what happened : i had like to 3500 Backlinks from 600 different domains and in one week it droped to 700 backlinks from 260 Domains .. I believe these huge backlinks was there for just 6 or 7 weeks from directory submissions where i was nearly in all the directories sidebar as a new link .. Now my ranking droped from 1st position for more than 6 keywords( for more than a year ) .. to the 5th and 6th page where its just jumbing in the different positions for more than 10 days now and this for all Keywords .. and my question is it a google dance cause i used to has a good ranking with this few number of links and this huge number was there for just 6 weeks .. or shall i go wild to come back to this number of backlinks again ..
