Spam link? Links from linguee.*
-
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 2.721Total 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?
-
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.

Why doesn't Google seem to care about referral spam?
In researching the issue of referral spam, there is no shortage if info, both on MOZ and beyond. But, neither the Google Analytics Blog or Help Forums seem to mention the issue at all. I'd think it is something that they would want to get rid of, yet it seems like they don't even acknowledge that it exists. Anyone have insights into this? Am I missing something, or is Google strangely silent on an issue that is becoming more and more annoying for anyone trying to use GA data?

Links On Expired Domains
Does anybody know if a link on an expired domain affects your SEO? I'm just asking because the SEO agency we used before used to create websites and then link to our company - very spammy. We have since ditched this agecny, however they wanted an extortionate amount to remove these links. Therefore, we decided to wait until these domains expired and then the links wouldn't exist. However, I am now completing a link audit and some of these sites are still appearing in the results (obtained from Link Research Tools) but I cannot access the links because the domains have expired. Can anyone help?

Backlink Tool Finding Links That Aren't Visible
I'm using a variety of backlink toolsl; OSE, SEM Rush, Link Research Tools and Google Webmaster Tools. On some occasions the tools are telling me there is a link to my site on a certain page, however when I open that page I can't see any mention of my company. I have run all these reports today, so I think it is unlikely that Google is using old data. Does anyone know why this happens and if I should still be concerned about links that I cannot see but backlink tools are telling me are there? Thanks guys.

Find 404 Broken Links
We are looking for tools to help us repair broken backlinks, those with 404 error. We have used the Open Site Explorer tool to create a CSV file from our client's URL. We read the "Fixing Crawl Diagnostic Issues", but don't see how to "find the 404ed URL", nor do we see a "referral column" to scroll to. What steps should we take to locate the broken 404 linkages? What steps can we take to streamline repairs?

Does prevent links from being included in Google Webmaster linking sites report?
My client has clean links in edit from nytimes.com. The links do not have nofollow tags. Google Webmaster stopped including links from nytimes.com in the external linking domains report and we don't know why since the URL is still live. The nytimes.com URL includes this tag in the source code: Are links on pages with NOARCHIVE still counted in Google Webmaster linking domains reports?

How to locate a back link
GWT says that a large popular site with DA 70 has a link to one of our recently published pages. Is it possible to find the location of that link using GWT? I don't think the SEOmoz tools can find it, perhaps because our page is too new. Best,
