Suspect Links from Yeusaigon.net Causing Server Errors
-
Good morning,
Webmaster Tools is reporting an increase in server errors on our site due to some very suspect links from Yeusaigon.net. After taking a quick look, it appears they are some form of search engine attempting to link to our images by using incomplete URLs. For example:
http://yeusaigon.net/search/images.php?q=htc%20one%20max%20phone%20cases&page=1044
Is linking to:
http://www.mobilemadhouse.co.uk/caseflex-htc-one-max-real-leather-flip...
As this URL is incomplete, it's throwing up a server error. There are currently 139 instances of there errors from the same domain, and is increasing by around 5-10 per day. The domain, however, is linking to some of our pages/images correctly, but I fear Google may look at these as spammy links - they certainly look that way!
So, what can we do? I can't find any contact details on Yeusaigon website so I have disavowed the entire domain. Is this the right thing to do? How do I stop the ever-increasing number of sever errors due to incorrect URLs?
Cheers,
Lewis

I would definitely try that link. There's always a google help line as well to consider. Let me know how that link works out for you.

Hello,
Thanks for your reply!
So, as these links clearly look spammy and they keep on coming, I need to report the site to Google? How do I do this?

I found the above WMT page, should I just submit it via that?
Thanks,
Lewis

Disavow is a very useful tool, but it can definitely effect your site negatively. Be careful how you use the Disavow tool.
Disavowing the direct link is the best way to tackle removing those links. In other words, finding the direct page link that your link is on, rather than just the main domain. Otherwise, those links will still exist within the website. I would definitely try to get this resolved. However, it looks as though this site is one to be reported as it looks very spammy.
We have found a numerous amount of spam URLS that our webmaster tools has pulled linking to us. It is important to get these cleared up to be seen as trustworthy to Google. Having links that are not related to your website is seen as "bad" through Google.

What type of links/redirect is Yahoo! using?
So I'm trying to figure out exactly what type redirect or hyperlinking Yahoo! is using on their article pages. For example:
Reporting & Analytics | | William.Lau
https://shopping.yahoo.com/blogs/fashionate/spring-clean-your-beauty-routine--10-tips-on-looking-fresh-this-season-000058218.html Hover over an external link, it shows you the ending URL. Right or left click it, it gives you a 302 redirect. When you actually left click it, it adds and "id" attribute, I assume for tracking. However, when you left click the the hyperlink, it no longer shows as a 302. I have limited working knowledge of web development techniques, so anyone with advance knowledge or have actually done this, it'd be helpful to understand this more.0 -

These errors include: duplicate meta descriptions duplicate title tags duplicates title tags and meta descriptions from the archives as well The forums do not drive a lot of traffic but people are active on there.
