Bad Backlinks to my website. Rankings Dropped

[nojaflaviusalex]

Hi guys,

My name is Flavius and I work for a website named LaserPRocessing.ro from Romania.

In april this year the site was infected with a virus and got around 1k bad backlinks.

I found those backlinks on Moz Backlinks Tools.

I added them on GSC disawow file. What next steps do you recommend to tell Google to block those links?

Cheers!

Hi Flavius,

Thanks for the question.

The main thing that you need to do is to disavow any spammy links in Google Search Console. There isn't really anything else to do beyond that, however I'd suggest keeping a close eye on a few things:

• Organic search traffic to the pages on your website where the links are pointing just to make sure that traffic doesn't fall
• Your most recent links in Google Search Console, Moz and any other link tools that you use, then try to catch any more of these spammy links that appear and add them to your disavow. Just make sure that you're only disavowing the links that are clearly spam

I hope that helps!

Paddy

You can report that spam website to Google, so it will be blocked from search result also.
