Thank you for this informative article. Btw i have one question.

According to MOZ, My website is having 13% linking domain with spam score of 60-90% & 25% with spam score of 31-60. I was getting more than 30-40 link from a spammy website having spam score of 90%. I checked that website and it was not live. I manually contacted some of the spammy website owner to delete the link of my website from there and mostly have done it, Still moz shows the same percentage of spam as it was before. What should i do? Is those bad link deleted or still there. Plz help.

Thank You!

My website is also punished by google and has no ranking at all now, I want to remove bad links, but still nervous about how much time it needed to recovery. My friend and I spent about 2 years to build the website but it is almost destroyed in just about two weeks.

Thank you for all your amazing information. I just want to ask you a question. What makes a bad link bad? Some links are listed as toxic and dangerous for my ranking on semrush but 100% safe on majestic seo. Even within Semrush, i have few accounts. In one of the account i have a particular link listed as toxic while in a different account when you use the link idea tool, this toxic link is highly recommended for linking by the same program.

So who decides what link is bad?

Many thanks

because google doesn’t talk directly to me about my link profiles on the console? on the search console i mean because i don’t have any camouflaged links and don’t believe i have spam on my outgoing links, does your tool guarantee me this? Well by the way excellent article.

Hello Andreea, Yes it is a competitor doing this to intentionally to essentially have Google Penguin take us out of the rankings and/or band our website. As a small business, we have no legal protection or assistance because it would require getting IPs numbers from Internet Service providers thru court orders and only extremely large companies, that can prove millions of dollars or losses, are able to get assistance thru the FBI or FCC. I’m afraid your answers are too generic to be effective against these black hat techniques. Please look to your internal staff with deeper knowledge on Black Hat SEO to either put us in contact or get help with answering our questions. Let me reword the questions: 1. When submitting Disavow files to Google does the submission overwrite the previous submission, making it lost, or is it a new separate file? If yes, it is treated as a new file, then how long should we wait until submitting a new list? If no, it overwrites and makes the previous submission lost, then should our list be cumulative of previous submissions until we no longer see them in backlink reports? 2. Is there a specific way to submit to disavow to get the anchor text (keywords, in this case, porn-related) to be removed from our google reports and not be associated with our domain name. Or does the removal of the Domain thru the disavow or the “exact” URL link automatically remove these anchor text titles automatically drop off? Or is there a different method that must be done to get Google to remove these words from being associated with our website? 3. It is not possible to block IP’s using a templated website thru a major e-commerce website provider. We are NOT in control of the servers. The only way we are aware of is to use a service like Cloudflare to Block at an IP level BUT…this comes at a high price to website response, longer load/lag times, and creates a redundant CDN replication, cached copies of our website thru-out servers around the world as the current (very well known eCommerce hosting service) already uses a CDN network. No offense but hoping to get our ranks back is not enough. Please talk with your colleges that are knowledgable on Black Hat issues or provide us other contact recommendations. Feel free to email us directly and not post and referrals as to offer them privacy. Thank you.
