@YarNik
I have same problem with my site, also in printing business www.sertit.ro
Lot of bad backlinks from domains with .xyz -
One of my sites https://active-print.kiev.ua/ is the leader of the printing industry in its city, competitors are constantly stealing texts and have been trying to create bad links to the site for 2 years now. It gave me more work, I regularly need to go to the search console and reject outright spam links.

Try to block the IP of the spam websites to your site.

Well, you can't really do much about it because you don't know who stands behind these actions. If you discover that a lot of Chinese (.cn) or Russian (.ru) domains are suddenly linking to your website, it might be a good indicator of low-quality backlinks.
-
Hi @Socialdom agree with everyone's inputs so far.
Just wanted to add that when you use the disavow tool, results from it are pretty slow. Could easily take up to 9 months to see any difference. As such, if you have had any rankings hit due to spammy links, you may not see a recovery any time soon.
Additionally, if you are using any link audit tools, the disavow links will likely still show up. You should be able to add them to a disavow list within the tool though.
-
Is there a specific link you feel is spammy? Have you considered disavowing?

@Nigel_Carr Thanks Nigel for the feed back. I only have a few to deal with

@Socialdom said in Block Links From Spam sites:
links backlinking to your site
The correct way of doing this is to research each backlink thoroughly. There are various tools you can use to do this, each one will give you a list of backlinks and a score of their toxicity. The correct procedure is to:
-
Email the offending site and ask for the link to be removed. This is OK if a site has stuffed a link in the footer of their site without realising the damage it can do. I've had it with friends trying to help. Just ask them to remove the link, or maybe move it to a help page or better something related to your website content.
-
If you get no joy this way then it's OK to compile a disavow file and upload it to Google. just be VERY CAREFUL doing this as disavowing sites that have a positive effect on your rankings can cause s drop.
Read more here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2648487?hl=en
The reality is that Google knows whether a link is spam or not and generally ignores them, and unless you have been involved in some dodgy link building all will be OK whatever.
If you have received a manual penalty then the proper process of research/disavow must be done thoroughly, but few websites suffer this indignity these days.
Just do things properly, build links organically, and your site will be fine. Use the disavow tool sparingly (if at all), replacing each txt file with a fill list each time you do it.

How i can Reduce Spam score of my website
Hi everyone, I'm reaching out to the community for some advice on improving my website's spam score. I've been using the Moz Spam Score Checker and my website, sngplbill.pk, currently has a score of 7%. While this isn't exceptionally high, I'd like to take steps to bring it down as low as possible, ideally under 1%. One factor I've identified that might be contributing to this score is a number of backlinks pointing to my site has a much higher spam score (over 80%). (screenshot attached)sngplbillscore I'm wondering if the community has any recommendations for how to address this situation. Here are some specific questions I have: Does disavowing the backlinks from spamy site seem like the best course of action?
Link Building | | Faizali.786
Are there any other potential reasons why my website might have a spam score, even with these backlinks?
What general strategies can I implement to improve my website's overall SEO health and reduce its spam score?
Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!0 -

Should I disavow these links?
Hi all, I have a ski website that I am currently performing a toxic backlink audit on. I have noted that a lot of the links being flagged as toxic/spammy by the tool I am using seem to be the same/similar sites with different URLs. The sites are vaguely related to skiing (relating to helicopter travel options for travelling to ski resorts) but it is concerning me that there are so many of them and they are being flagged as so toxic.
Link Building | | SolveWebMedia
Do you think it is worth disavowing these? Or contacting the owner to ask them to remove the link? I have included an example of some of the links below. https://www.cannes-helicopters.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
https://nice-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5

How To Encourage Google To Discover Links?
I got a valuable backlink from a high authority website (MSN), but the link is placed in the middle of a slideshow with 20 pictures, and the only way to reach it is by clicking through the slideshow. After 6 months, this link still hasn't been noticed by Moz or Semrush, and I assume Google hasn't seen it either, because it's in the middle of a slideshow. Is there any way to encourage Google to find this link? Or am I all out of luck?

How do I find http backlinks to my domain?
Hi, We spotted a number of sites linking to us from http sites, not https sites. How can I use backlink tools to find just those from http sites? Right now I'm looking at exporting a spreadsheet with 3.3 million entries and filtering - and there's not one person here who wants to do that! Thanks in advance.

Links from highly relevant but low Domain Authority sites: Yes or No?
We're reaching out to companies that we have a business relationship with (past and present) to find out if they would be interested in linking to us.
Link Building | | Jeepster
All are obviously in the same industry so highly relevant. But some of the sites are low in Domain Authority (with scores of about 15-25).
Should we also ask these sites -- or avoid them?0
