Spam link? Links from linguee.*

[jarizaro]

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     2.721

Total 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?

[jws8118]

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.
