Realmente este spamer es muy molesto, pero según veo en mi seach console, Google no toma en cuenta sus backlinks así que no debería preocuparnos.

@otorongonegro muchas Gracias! excelente file.

Hello my website is www.seodekho.com
I just buy a fresh domain and even not create a single backlink in the last 2 or 3 years Moz is still showing 33 backlinks. Suddenly (In the last 2-3 months) my spam score increased to 22, I don't know why. Now I want to know how can I decrease my spam score to 1. -
Hello everyone, here is my list of 1428 domains related to this Spammer to disavow these links in your Seach Console:
-
You can get a quick list of (currently 917) domains in the globe network at the url below which I found by googling the following:
inurl:the_worlds_most_visited_web_pages
http://www.theglobe.bet/the_worlds_most_visited_web_pages-txt.txt
-
I have about 2.800 backlinks from this net of websites. They charge you to remove the backlinks from them. So I think this is their business. I think the best option is disavow in the Google search console.
-
We too are seeing thousands of links from these domains and are going to use disavow.
-
Has anyone ever actually paid the guy and gotten their link removed? I'm on 1000s of variations of the guys page. Checked that delete link page linked above, and it goes straight to a paypal checkout, no place to put the domain you'd like to remove... I foresee a PayPal dispute in my future should I go that route...
However, if it could be removed from all the variations... that would feel great....
-
I have had the same experience staring from last year but the number of links has steadily increased. It is all from sites related to "the globe"
It seems like a spamming tool. Also as my spam score increased some of my rankings dropped. Hard to correlate directly but I would like to know who is behind this. I have used disavow tool (about 2 weeks ago)but not gained in rankings as yet...
-
I also would like to follow on this thread as my site has been listed to http://internetsearch.com/the_worlds_most_visited_web_pages_311.html and generated a lot of backlinks to the similar directory. I would like to remove it or should I just let it stay there?
-
I also have a ton of these links from TheGlobe and their sister sites. I'm also getting links coming from spammy photo gallery sites that link to our photos with a "." in the anchor text. I have similar concerns that they are hurting our backlink profile, so I started disavowing them in in Google Search Console. I can't say I have seen much of a change in rankings based on it, however.
-
Hey Michael,
If you have no luck getting it manually removed and you think it's harming your website, you may need to consider using Google's disavow tool.
However saying that, Google has said fairly recently that you should really only use the tool if you get a manual action.
Google is pretty good at knowing what are spammy links and it's probably already disregarded them. As for your Moz spam score, I think Meghan has that covered for you
I hope that helps somewhat.
Cheers,

Hi there!
Thanks so much for the great question! When it comes to digging into your Spam Score, we have a great resource in our Help Hub which breaks down all the factors which go into determining that score. I would definitely recommend checking it out as this may help offer some extra guidance on why your spam score is what it is. You can find that resource here: https://moz.com/help/guides/link-explorer/spam-score
The percentage you’re seeing is indicative of the percentage of sites with similar features to the site you’re researching in Link Explorer which have been penalized by Google. Since the Spam Score metric is based on correlation instead of causation, the solution may not necessarily be to to change factors on your site. There are many different factors which come into play when calculating and assessing Spam Score so this tool is really meant to be used as a way to identify what links you may want to investigate and factors on your site you may want to consider looking into.
As far as next steps to take after having reached out to the site you’re concerned about, I may not be the best person to answer. I’m so sorry about that! I do hope that the info above helps to answer your other questions, though! If you have additional questions about our tools, please feel free to send an email on over to help@moz.com!

Important news on Fresh Web Explorer
Hello Moz family, After much deliberation, Moz has arrived at the difficult decision to shift away from brand & keyword mentions monitoring as a standalone tool in Fresh Web Explorer. Though we believe in the value of this service for our users, we’ll no longer be supporting it in order to provide more innovative features that better suit the modern needs of SEOs. We will, however, continue to support existing features within the Pro platform that accomplish similar tasks, like link building, content planning, and mentions monitoring. We understand you might have a few questions and have compiled a list of common FAQs below. Within the answers, you will find a number of other resources to help you out. When is Moz sunsetting Fresh Web Explorer?
Moz Bar | | jacob.butler
Moz will be sunsetting Fresh Web Explorer on November 10, 2020. At that time, you will no longer be able to access this feature within Moz Pro. This means that there will no longer be the ability in your settings to opt into email alerts from Fresh Web Explorer as the email alerts will discontinue after this date as well. I used Fresh Web Explorer for brand and keyword monitoring across the web. How can I do that now? Though it’s not a direct replacement, setting Brand Rules within a Campaign allow a user to monitor specific keywords in the Link Opportunities section, much like Fresh Web Explorer. By monitoring the links that mention your tracked keywords, but do not link to them, you can easily reach out for link opportunities. It can also help you plan content strategies by understanding what is being discussed within the content of those pages. You can read more about Opportunities within Links here. I used Fresh Web Explorer for link building opportunities. How can I do that now? With Moz’s vast link index you can uncover valuable link prospects, create a solid strategy, and track your progress. Within Link Opportunities in a Campaign, you can understand the domains mentioning your tracked keywords (set within your Brand Rules), but not linking back to you. Link Intersect provides an analysis on who's linking to competitors, but not you, and can help users plan strategic link outreach. You can also use Link Tracking Lists to help track progress for link opportunities you’ve identified through unlinked mentions of your brand or your competitors. Our Keyword Explorer tool also includes a Mentions module. Mentions show you pages that contain the searched keyword and gives you a snapshot of the Page Title and URL. Within Mentions, understand a link’s Mention Authority score, which predicts the authority of the page using a proprietary algorithm, along with a combination of Moz metrics that take both the authority and influence of the page into account. Need help getting started with all of these similar features? Read more here. I used Fresh Web Explorer for content planning. How can I use Moz for that now? There are many ways you can plan your content strategy using Moz. For a high-level understanding of how Moz Pro can help you plan content, take a look at our Beginner’s Guide to Content Strategy here. Otherwise, one way you can understand what is being mentioned within your tracked keywords is through Opportunities in Links within a campaign. This feature helps you get a sense for what type of content is published on the web around your tracked keywords, branded or non-branded. You can then plan similar content as what’s being mentioned. For more information on how to set up Brand Rules in a Campaign, click here. I used Fresh Web Explorer for the email alerts to notify other stakeholders on keyword & brand mentions. Can I do that another way within Moz Pro? We recommend using our Custom Reports to email your stakeholders of tracked mentions on the web. You can set Brand Rules within your Campaign settings for branded or non-branded keywords you’d like to monitor. You can read more on how to set up Custom Reports here. The Moz Pro feature alternatives you suggested aren’t really a direct replacement. Why? We recognize that our feature suggestions are not a direct replacement for brand and keyword mentions monitoring. And, we also understand that this functionality is desired by many of our users. We will be exploring opportunities to include some of the Fresh Web Explorer functionality within future versions of Moz Pro. In the meantime, if you're looking for a direct replacement, we suggest checking out BuzzSumo. Their Monitoring feature provides you a one-stop-shop for monitoring your brand, keywords, and trends across the web. Do I need to do anything before the sunset on November 10, 2020? No. Fresh Web Explorer will simply disappear from the Moz Pro interface. No action is needed on your end. Once retired, you will no longer see the page within Moz Pro and you will no longer receive alert emails that were previously set up from the settings tab within an account. Do you have any content you can point me to that outlines the other ways in which I can find my brand’s mentions in Moz Pro? We sure do! Check out this fantastic Help Hub article that outlines all of the ways you might track, monitor, and analyze your brand’s mentions in Moz Pro. The features here include Keyword Explorer’s Mentions, Brand Rules, Link Opportunities in Links within a Campaign, Link Tracking Lists, and Custom Reports. If you have any questions, I'm happy to discuss more in the Q&A thread. Or, feel free to send an email to help@moz.com with any questions. Best,

Limit MOZ crawl rate on Shopify or when you don't have access to robots.txt
Hello. I'm wondering if there is a way to control the crawl rate of MOZ on our site. It is hosted on Shopify which does not allow any kind of control over the robots.txt file to add a rule like this: User-Agent: rogerbot Crawl-Delay: 5 Due to this, we get a lot of 430 error codes -mainly on our products- and this certainly would prevent MOZ from getting the full picture of our shop. Can we rely on MOZ's data when critical pages are not being crawled due to 430 errors? Is there any alternative to fix this? Thanks

Moz says "Title Too Long", Yoast says title is the perfect length. Who's right?
For a bunch of my pages, the MOZ Crawl Report says "Title Too Long". Yoast on my site tells me that the titles are the correct length. How can these two things be at odds with each other? Which one is right?

Moz Bar doesn't show any data and keeps asking me to log in when actually I'm logged in.
Hi all, I've been using Moz Bar for years. It ran well until about three weeks ago. It suddenly failed to show the DA and PA of sites that I open after I log in. And it keeps asking me to log in when I did. I tried to uninstall the Mozbar extension and reinstalled it several times. Nothing worked. I also tried to uninstall Chrome and clear the cookies, still, nothing changed. Did anyone experience this? How do you solve it and make it run on the track? Any information will be appreciated.

How to find a list of pages with missing H1 tags
An external SEO/PPC agency did an audit of our site a little while back and said that over 10% of our pages were missing an H1 tag. I am trying to find a way to gather a full list of these in order for our web company to fix. I downloaded the Crawl Test report thinking it would include info on tags in there but it doesn't seem to. Is there a different tool I can use that will get me this information?

How do you stop Moz crawling a page?
Hello, I have a contact form which generates thousands of duplicate crawl errors. I'm going to use to block Google indexing these pages. Will this also block MOZ from crawling these pages and displaying the error? Thanks!
