@adam71299 Recently I brought a new website at online auction. I failed to check the spam score of that website and I got all screwed up. Now I have to track all the backlinks that are pointing to the spam websites and disvow them using GSC. Moral of the story, spam score matters big time.

@lorosing As a beginner, I same similar mistakes. Right from the onset I started making backlinks for my tracking website. After watching a youtube video I came to know about spam scores. I was shocked when I realize that my website had an abysmal spam score of 7. Hence, I started to remove the bad ones. I want to know if is there a way to remove all the bad links pointing toward my website at once.

I couldn't agree more. As a beginner, I started creating backlinks from the word go. After making tons of backlinks now I realize that my website has a spam score of 7 which isn't good. Therefore, now I have to manually remove them one by one. I wish I knew earlier that the quality of backlinks is preferred over quantity by Google.

@lorosing I agree with you, the spam score from my site was up at 5, after I employed a cheap SEO "EXPERT" to improve my ranking. I'm in the car insurance/accident business, so there's huge competition for ranking. These guys just use rubbish links from rubbish sites and the spam rating just went through the roof, and I wasn't ranking for any keywords related to car accidents at all.
Now though, after much pain and headache, I got all the dodgy links removed and disavowed. It took a few month before the spam rating fell after that, but it was worth it in the end. So if you've disavowed them then just wait and you should see your spam rating drop back. Otherwise, you may have to just change your domain name!

How to ignore spam links to page?
Hey Moz pals, So for some reason someone is building thousands of links to my websites (all spam), likely someone doing negative seo on my site. Anyway, all these links are pointing to 1 sub url on my domain. That url didn't have anything on it so I deleted the page so now it comes up with a 404. Is there a way to reject any link that ever gets built to that old page? I don't want all this spam to hurt my website. What do you suggest?

Who's still being outranked by spam?
Over the past few months, through Google Alerts, I've been watching one of our competitors kick out crap press releases, and links to their site have been popping up all over blog networks with exact match anchor text. They now outrank us for that anchor text. Why is this still happening? Three Penguin updates later and this still happens. I'm trying so hard to do #RCS and acquire links that will ensure our site's long-term health in the SERPs. Is anyone else still struggling with this crap?

Video & Image Spam?
We have 50 product videos and 100 product images to distribute. For the sake of increasing nofollow Linking Root Domains, my manager wants to distribute them in the following manner: 10 Company profiles on 10 video sites, each with 5 videos. The sites to be used are sites like YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion, MetaCafe, etc. 10 Company profiles on 10 image sites, each with 10 images. The sites to be used are sites like Photobucket, Flickr, imageshack, Imgur, etc. My thoughts are that we should stick to one service for video (YouTube) and one service for images (Flickr). We can increase nofollow LRD's by doing some quality blog commenting. Keep in mind that the product images look great, but the videos are amateur and consist of someone holding the product and discussing it's features. Each vid is around one minute in length. What do you think of the two approaches and which do you prefer? Do you think creating many profiles will come off too spammy? We are also weathering a Panda penalty and submitting a Reinclusion Request to Google within the next two weeks. Your thoughts are very welcomed and appreciated. Thanks 🙂

How is this achieved - SPAM
Hello everyone. Here's my problem: I just searched for "link inside iframe counts for backlinking?" and on #5 there's a site that caught my attention because of it's Description Snippet. http://www.freelancer.com/job-search/iframe-links-count-backlinks/ This page is totally irrelevant to my query if you take time and read what's on it, however it ranks well. It's clever because the page contains all the required elements: one h1 with keyword in it, some short paragraph under it, similar links (totally irrelevant though), a selection of people who are supposed to be relevant to my question but they are not, all the good stuff. I looked in the source code and i found this: link href="[http://www.freelancer.com/rss/search.xml?keyword=iframe+links+count+backlinks](view-source:http://www.freelancer.com/rss/search.xml?keyword=iframe+links+count+backlinks)" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Latest projects" Please take the time and look at this feed and you'll see something totally wrong here. Could someone please explain how this works? I'ts a total spam however they managed to trick the system... Looking forward to hearing your answers. Alex
