How to remove bad or spammy links from Moz?

[juanitajb9]

My website has gotten some bad and spammy links. I know how to disavow bad links from Google. But I reviewed Moz and haven't got any disavow option.
Have any disavow option on Moz? How can I remove the bad links from Moz?

Thanks

Hi,

No, MOZ does not have any option to disavow links and you should not be worried about disavowing links in Moz. Instead, disavow them from the Google Search Console because Google is the search engine that ranks your site according to proper linking.

Hi there,

Exactly what Natalie said, plus if your site is losing ranking then I would disavow spammy links too.

Hi there!

Moz does not have a disavow option but as you mentioned, this can be done via Google. We generally only recommend disavowing links in the following situations:

1. For sites that have made links for SEO purposes on a large scale
2. For sites that previously had a manual action for unnatural links
3. For sites under obvious negative SEO attacks

If you see some weird links in your backlink profile you probably do not need to be disavowing links. Disavowing a link doesn't take it away so they will still appear as backlinks to your site within the Moz tools. The fact that Google disregards them in relation to your site does not take them off the sites they are on, so best practice is to approach the webmaster first and request the link be removed. If you get no response then disavow.

We always recommend manual investigation of a site to ensure it is a link that is causing harm to your site. When a link is disavowed it can be very difficult to regain that link equity.
