you can see my domain is getting tons of chinese spam.
I have 410'd the page but it still keeps coming..

Hi Matt,
Google probably will ignore all of these - they are pretty good at recognising spam like this, but to err on the side of caution, start to disavow the spam sites as Nick said. It's fairly easy to do if you haven't done it before, but I know you can build a disavow file from within Ahrefs.

Thanks, but the only reason they got linked was through a hosting change we did, the files were dumped in the process, theres no issues on the file side internally. The main issue is that the anchors are so wacked out, its going to be hard to fix the balance.

First, I would check your site for hacked content. My guess is that would be the logical reason for them linking to your pages. Go to your file manager and look for strange folders or files with a recent modified date.
Next you will want to compile a list of all these links and send a disavow request through Google Webmaster tools. You can follow the steps here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2648487?hl=en
Sorry for the misfortune. Best of luck getting back on track.

The main navigation is using JS, will this have a negative impact on SEO?
Hi mozzers, We just redesigned our homepage and discovered that our main nav is using JS and when disabling JS, no main nav links was showing up. Is this still considered bad practice for SEO? https://cl.ly/14ccf2509478 thanks

1st Campaign - Advice please.
We have just run our first campaign for our site and have found over 5,335 errors! It would appear that the majority of which are where the crawl has duplicated the product page with the "write a review - Tell a friend page"...hence a large number of errors. In addition we also have over 5,000 302 warnings for the following URL: URL: http://www.collarandcuff.co.uk/index.php?_a=login&redir=/index.php?_a=viewCat&catId=105 Please bear in mind we are fairly new to this type of data....so go easy on us. In short, will these errors have a significant bearing on our rankings etc and if so how do we rectify? Many thanks. Tony
