Is healthygallbladder.com a spammy site?
-
Hello Moz Community!
We're getting many back links with random anchor text (completely irrelevant) from a website called healthygallbladder.com and various subdomains under that domain. Has anyone else come across this website?
I can't seem to load the pages at all. It always comes up with a bandwidth exceeded message.
-
Good move! This recently happened to my site as well; someone created an account and then sent thousands of sites from over 100 domains to that page. Best to disavow.
-
I would say our DA is moderate at best. Turns out I'm finding a ton of these gallbladder sites that you can't access that are linking to us. I ended up disavowing.
-
Weird! Quick question: does your site have a decent DA? I wonder if this site is selling links to weak sites, and they're trying to mask that by also linking to high quality sites, like yours.

I was finally able to get a look at the site by looking at what Bing actually cached:
Interesting enough, the part where they seem to link to random sites and have a poor choice of words, irrelevant text, and poor grammar is the part where they list out "more resources..." about said topic.
Here are a few examples:
- Download your report for 50% off today! Now the doctor has convinced you and you should drink the juice of fresh fruits and juices.http://www.liverspot.net/index.html - This is your bedside manner person.
Sounds completely spammy.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? None of the ones listed are my website but you get the idea.

This is probably referral spam. Take a look at this article: https://www.distilled.net/resources/quick-fix-for-referral-spam-in-google-analytics/

Thanks for your response.
It just seems a bit fishy that I can't find much information about this site. They have 34K backlinks yet their site isn't indexed and doesn't render. Their domain is sending my site the 2nd highest amount of backlinks to our site.
We sell braces and supports. Here's an example of one of their links from this page on their site that doesn't work: http://healing.healthygallbladder.com/406067/liver-function-test-out-of-range/
This is the text - "A where is the liver located in the body doctor - Mark Kirk, the idea of her jumping up on you should know that"
The underlined is the anchor text which links to a page on our site about shoulder braces....it is completely irrelevant in so many ways. The information on the page as you can see doesn't make sense.
I just want to make sure we don't get hit with anything so I'm curious about how proactive I need to be because if it does come down to having to ask them to remove links...it'll be difficult as you can imagine.
Thanks!

It doesn't look like that site is even indexed by Google. Even if it were, disavowing an entire site is pretty easy so a one domain spam attack wouldn't be very effective.
I wouldn't worry about it unless you experience a massive rankings drop.

How to safeguard against negative SEO for new sites?
Hi Mozers!! I have a question. The ugly tools for blog commenting etc are still out there, my question is what if your competitor notices you that you are new to the business and they start building 20,000+ backlinks to your new site, and they too with one exact match anchor text that you are targeting. I know we can disavow tool, but I guess that would be too late? What are your thoughts? What will be the solution the above case scenario?

Links from local.com after Penguin
I have been doing some research on where some competing links are getting their links from and I see that a decent number seem to be getting some juice from local.com. My question is- have the panda & penguin updates rendered these useless- or even worse can links from directories like this now harm my SEO?

Advice for brand new site
Dear All I have been an SEO for several years now, and have just laucnhed a new site www.householdsaver.co.uk its in its early stages as I expect to add a community option where people post deals and offers they have found, share them with friends etc My question is really are all the old seo practices still worth doing? Things like directory sites, blog comments, articles sites, social bookmarking etc.... (I have already built up twitter users on the account before the site went live) With Moz's trust factor is it best to go for highrank trust sites first or... I guess you could say that I am suffering from what do I do first and is it all still worth doing and what are the early pit falls to think about..? ie too many links too soon and from to high or to low trusted sites? Any comments from anyone who have put a new site live in the past couple of years would be appricated. Thanks James
