@YarNik
I have same problem with my site, also in printing business www.sertit.ro
Lot of bad backlinks from domains with .xyz -
One of my sites https://active-print.kiev.ua/ is the leader of the printing industry in its city, competitors are constantly stealing texts and have been trying to create bad links to the site for 2 years now. It gave me more work, I regularly need to go to the search console and reject outright spam links.

Try to block the IP of the spam websites to your site.
-
Well, you can't really do much about it because you don't know who stands behind these actions. If you discover that a lot of Chinese (.cn) or Russian (.ru) domains are suddenly linking to your website, it might be a good indicator of low-quality backlinks.
-
Hi @Socialdom agree with everyone's inputs so far.
Just wanted to add that when you use the disavow tool, results from it are pretty slow. Could easily take up to 9 months to see any difference. As such, if you have had any rankings hit due to spammy links, you may not see a recovery any time soon.
Additionally, if you are using any link audit tools, the disavow links will likely still show up. You should be able to add them to a disavow list within the tool though.
-
Is there a specific link you feel is spammy? Have you considered disavowing?

@Nigel_Carr Thanks Nigel for the feed back. I only have a few to deal with

@Socialdom said in Block Links From Spam sites:
links backlinking to your site
The correct way of doing this is to research each backlink thoroughly. There are various tools you can use to do this, each one will give you a list of backlinks and a score of their toxicity. The correct procedure is to:
-
Email the offending site and ask for the link to be removed. This is OK if a site has stuffed a link in the footer of their site without realising the damage it can do. I've had it with friends trying to help. Just ask them to remove the link, or maybe move it to a help page or better something related to your website content.
-
If you get no joy this way then it's OK to compile a disavow file and upload it to Google. just be VERY CAREFUL doing this as disavowing sites that have a positive effect on your rankings can cause s drop.
Read more here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2648487?hl=en
The reality is that Google knows whether a link is spam or not and generally ignores them, and unless you have been involved in some dodgy link building all will be OK whatever.
If you have received a manual penalty then the proper process of research/disavow must be done thoroughly, but few websites suffer this indignity these days.
Just do things properly, build links organically, and your site will be fine. Use the disavow tool sparingly (if at all), replacing each txt file with a fill list each time you do it.

Total Links vs Google Webmaster Site Links
I am interested why the numbers between SEOmoz and Google are so different. In SEOmoz we only show 17,000ish links from 190ish domains. In Google, we show 200,000+ links from 370 domains. Why is there such a dramatic difference?

Total Links vs Ext. Followed Links
Hi I'm fairly new to SEO and SEOMOZ. I've created a campaign for my own site and I've added 3 competitor sites. There are 1,385 total links to my site and a massive 49,450 links to one of my competitor's site. However under "Ext. Followed Links", there are 1,045 to my site and only 911 to the same competitor site. Am I correct that it is the "Ext. Followed Links" which are more important from an SEO point of view as the other links have the "no follow" attribute set? Or have I got this wrong? Thanks James
