SPAMMY links to my search results page
-
Hi,
I have a big problem, somehow someone has built THOUSANDS of SPAMMY links to my site's search result pages with keywords that does not even make sense or inline with the site.
Links are dofollow and goes to /?s=TERM see the for yourself https://analytics.moz.com/pro/link-explorer/inbound-links?site=https%3A%2F%2Fhealthtian.com
See image https://imgur.com/a/fahetyZ
Please is there a way to BLOCK all at once? i feel these links are impacting on my site.
Thanks
-
yes i know, during the compilation of the list i used GSC, SEMRUSH, AHREF,etc...

Don't rely on search console link data. Google don't show you all of the links they see pointing to your site, only a very small sample which is usually also a bad sample. By all means integrate search console links into your wider project, but don't treat them as 'the best data' because they absolutely are not
-
Then I guess just use the disavow tool where you're not limited to what Search Console will let you input? It's a free-form text file, you choose for yourself which domains you want to disavow. You don't have to select them from URLs that 'show up' in search console
-
i do the management myself.
the URLS showing on moz/semrush and other similar tools are different from what is showing on search console
-
Hi,
have you used the new google console lately? i mean added new domains? because they don't show up in the disavow tool.
I added my domain in the new console and it has changed from previous method
Thanks

The disavow tool is here:

(in Search Console)
5th tip is for a senior developer to look at not an SEO person / marketer. I also don't recommend it

So you have spammy links for 7K unique URLs? Ask whoever manages your GSC account to grant you higher access as this shouldn't be an issue.
-
Hi,
I have a list of domains and URLs about 7K but i can't disavow them because the new google console does not give option for that.
My search results are no-index and i have used **Disallow: /?s= **in my robots.txt file. so how do i do the 5th tip?
-
-
Isolate the domains which the links are coming from
-
Disavow all of the domains
-
Meta no-index your search results URLs as Google doesn't like to index search results anyway
-
Robots.txt block all your search results URLs
-
If you are feeling hardcore, when someone visits the search result URLs specifically from the offending domain(s) serve them 410s (but this is a bit thermonuclear)

Links from sites with iffy link profiles?
So the site http://www.cadenas.de/ appears to have good decent scores from the various Moz ranks, but when I check out the site in OSE there are a lot of really sketchy links that jump out, online pharmacy/drug type links. I should also add that the negative links are seemingly going to a weird blog deep in the site and only appear when I select all links to the root domain in OSE. Everything about the site appears very legitimate except for the link profile which has me nervous. Would you guys pursue a link from this site?

If you discount a subscription when the client links to you, does that classify as a paid link?
For example, we all subscribe to MOZ, but if we received a 25% discount on our subscription if we linked back, would that be considered by Google as a paid link, or would it be seen as a sales tool / promotion?

Should my client stop their large-scale spammy link building immediately or taper off slowly?
I'm working with a company that that is doing a lot of black-hat link building, and they got hit by Penguin 2.0. Should they stop all spammy link building immediately or slowly, over time? Is it possible that stopping all the spammy link building immediately will hurt the site? Thank you for reading!

Link over-building?
Hello all. One of the first things we do for our clients is to claim their local listings, include them on a set of selected directories (8-10), and blog directories (5), if applicable. Since they will all be linked to the client site, could doing all of this at once run us into problems with unnatural link growth? Thanks! Frank

Looking at Page Authority of a link to our website... what Page Authority number should we use in deciding the link is junk?
What are the Page Authority ranges? 1. Excellent link 2. Moderate 3. Total junk link Of course you look at the anchor text you can use, how many links are on the site, how often it is cached. Thoughts?

Many competitor's backlinks are in content anchor links. Ho do I get these same links?
Hi I managed to open up OSE. I'm finding that much of the competition's backlinks are in content anchor text links. Am I supposed to get backlinks from these same pages using the same anchor text but linking back to my page or is that allowed? If so, how do I get these in content blog post links? Thanks. Sunil.

Making deep links to your page on BBB or DMOZ - Effective or waste of time?
Hi, Has anyone tried making links to a deep links to a page on an external site (like dmoz or the bbb) which has a link to your website? Of course, you might wonder "it depends on the type of link" you make to this larger site. Let's say it's a link (without no-follow) on a forum or blog comment - low-quality but on a decent site. Anyone think this may have some benefit to increase the chance / rate that your own link from another site will be indexed more and provide more benefit? A dmoz link is great, but it's on the backpages because it's a huge site, opensiteexplorer hardly indexes dmoz links. Regards,
