@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!

Reducing Spam Flags
I have a personal site that is pretty strong (35 DA) likely from the fact that I have had it for so damn long (like. . . 15 years). So, since it's my own site of course I used it to link to my business site. Sadly, it looks like that site has "five spam flags" . . . which is ironic since it's totally legit. Anyway, what can I do to reduce spam flags? It mentions "low trust", small proportion of branded links, and "large site with few links". Pretty sure it's not the latter, since the site is just a wordpress site I use to share some of my music. (www.damonsongs.net in case anyone wants to hear it . . . ). So. . . 1) can I do much of anything to legitimze the site and 2) am I better off removing the site link I am trying to promote? Insights welcome!

Website Spam Backlinks Solution
I have been doing some back-link checking and found that 25% of the total back-links to my PR5 site are Spam and generated over the past 8 weeks. There are 189 links in total from 38 different domains and the anchor text is a combination of 'ugg boots for women' from TLDs in China, Russia and North Korea. The PR of these sites is 15 are n/a, 12 are 0 and the other 11 range between 1 - 6. More interestingly, all the links point to 1 single page on the domain. I have taken down that page now and wondering if I should 'disavow' the offending links in Google and Bing? Clearly with such a high % of my total links now being Spam, I want to be proactive so this does not hurt my rankings in search. If a Spambot is behind it then the issue is going to get worse moving forward. Any advice is welcome...

Have I created link spam.....
Howdy fellow Mozzers.... Since Googles Penguin Update I am overly cautious when reviewing our link profile. I spotted 2 domains linking to us yesterday, 80+ links from each domain to our homepage. This looked superstitious, site wide links effectively. At first inspection I couldn't spot the links....they turned out to be two individual comments, but as the site had a plugin with "most recent comments", 1 link became 80. The link is an exact match of the individuals name who made the comment. And is a result of filling out the comment form. Name: Website: Comment: By filling out the name and website the name becomes the anchor text for the link to the website. Long story short...do you think this is penguin esq. link spam? Is it not? Or is it just not worth the risk and remove them anyway???
