Getting Too Many Spammy Links

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by jopsons, May 20, 2014.

    Hello,

    I dont know who are building spammy links, maybe our competitors. Daily they are building thousands of links to my website. I am unable to control those spammy links directly, Daily I am getting links and on daily basis I am adding those links in my Disavow section at GWT. But still need a some serious solution to control it. Please give me some expert suggestions.

    Thank you,
    Jopson

    I think Google needs update here. If we can find spammy links pointing to our site, then we can say Google boss this is spammy link and we have not built it. In robots.txt we can say Google please dont indexed this page then some syntax should be built where we can say Google please dont indexed this I have not built backlink to this and please dont count this is our backlink.

    I hate names like this but Panda 4.0 is underway now as well update wise.

    As a general rule you don't have to worry about people doing stupid things either. Using the disavow tool is like using a sledgehammer to hang a picture.

    And suddenly we'd see influx of innocent SEO's who have fallen victims to their "competitors building back linkprofile for them". This wouldn't work the slightest, just make the issue worse.

    you need to keep checking the new links pointing to your site and if they are spammy links just add in disavow tool. And also intimate Google about this activity by your competitor end, which will help you even if the links are trapped by Google

    Just to say that it's a good idea to inspect a link before using the disavow tool as you can get another ranking from the domain which won't be counted! ;)
