          Hi all,

          I have a ski website that I am currently performing a toxic backlink audit on. I have noted that a lot of the links being flagged as toxic/spammy by the tool I am using seem to be the same/similar sites with different URLs. The sites are vaguely related to skiing (relating to helicopter travel options for travelling to ski resorts) but it is concerning me that there are so many of them and they are being flagged as so toxic.
          Do you think it is worth disavowing these? Or contacting the owner to ask them to remove the link?

          I have included an example of some of the links below.

          https://www.cannes-helicopters.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
          https://nice-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
          https://monaco-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5

          Slightly different site but same favicon icon:
          https://monaco-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
          https://www.whitetracks-holidays.com/Helicopter_Transfers_Villars_Switzerland.htm

          Thanks in advance for any advice / help!

              I wouldn't worry too much about disavowing those links. Lots of websites receive this kind of links every day, as they come from scraping websites which essentially copy/spin your content. This is why it seems to you that these are the same sites with different URLs. Google is pretty good at flagging them as spam so they don't hurt/don't benefit you either. I never worry about these and I have pretty good rankings with my websites/client's websites.

              Hope that helps!

                  Is it really worth disavowing links? Surely Google knows which links are likely to be the subject of any disavow list? Just seems like a lot of effort on top of an already unlimited workload

                    @solvewebmedia A lot of people will tell you it's pointless to disavow the links unless your site has received some kind of manual penalty. I think it's always best to keep your links organized but it can become quite tedious doing this so I use SemRush to see if any toxic sites are linking to mine and if they are I disavow them right away. My site was showing some toxic backlinks. The site is in the hacking niche and we regularly get some users sharing links in places like Tor and low-quality blogger style sites however we can't really dictate where the user shares these links so I use SEMRush it gives you an indication of any backlink that is toxic or indicators of what other SEMRush users added to their lists. I looked into a couple of these domains further and they had been deindexed by Google even though Google ignores or devalues them links I still wanted to add them to my Disavow list so other users in SEMRush could see the indicators and disavow these links early on.

                        @solvewebmedia Almost certainly the sites you mention are riddled with spam scores often spam score is a good indicator of a high toxicity score. If it was me I would disavow them Google often ignores any low-quality links just encase your domain was subject to a spam SEO attack. That's why the disavow tools come in perfect.

Additionally, the link from my MOZ profile is currently broken and redirects to an error page, no to Elche Se Mueve. Given the premium pricing of MOZ's services, these persistent errors are unacceptable."

                          Unsolved Backlinks issues.

                          backlinks

                          I am hoping this is the right forum to ask this question. But, I was looking at my backlinks and noticed that I had some go to a page that resembles my site, but had porn words on it. however, it would link to a place on my site. Under more information it has a real link to my site. What is this? I noticed the domain authority was in I believe the 70's; but PA was in 40's. I am new, so can someone explain this. Thank you. example below:

Here is a few example of the ones I have seen appear recently http://www.removeem.com/ http://www.linkremovalservices.com/ http://deletebacklinks.com/ http://www.linkdelete.com/

                          How can I verify who links to me?

                          I need to verify all the inbound links I have coming in to my site.  I've tried using OSE but have been told it does not scrape many smaller sites so cannot be sure of it's accuracy (especially since when I ran it, it returned a small % of the link i know are out there). Is there a way to do this in Analytics?  Or another way? Thanks

                          Porn link ...

                          I just ran https://www.majesticseo.com report for back links and showed me that I have one link at porn site ... not sure if it will be appropriate to post it here. The link was discovered on 03.05.11 and when I visited today link is not there... I dont know who put that link there. Can I get penalty for that from google? Can it be a mistake?
