          can you block links from other websites?ie: links backlinking to your site, causing a high spam score.

              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.

                    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?

                              @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:

                              1. 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.

                              2. 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.

                                You cannot block people from posting your links all over the internet.

                                  error backlinks moz pro

                                  "I have been maintaining 5 directories of backlinks in the 'Link Tracking List' section for several months. However, I am unable to locate any of these links at this time. 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."

                                  Value of Links? What is each link worth?

                                  Morning Everyone, I just had this thought and wondered what everyone's opinions were in terms of link value in monetary terms. We'll assume for the purposes of this that the links come from contextually relevant sites and that the sites in question have got the Moz DA from being high quality and have a good quality incoming link profile. Its a bit of a theoretical question, but i guess imagine if the only way you could get links was to pay for them, what would they be worth to you. This is link value for SEO purposes, they will have in addition value from traffic from good sites, that no doubt varies wildly depending on topic. I assume everyone also agrees on: The first link from a domain is the most valuable High DA sites are worth  more than low ones. So could anyone who has an opinion on the link value suggest a monetary value for links. Its really just using a monetary amount to see how best to target my time.  Here is my example of what might be expected, but I am hoping people with more knowledge will perhaps correct it. DA Rating    First Link  2nd-5th Link  5th-10th Link 10Plus Links 5               $5         $2            $1              $0 15               $7         $3            $2              $1 25              $25         $10            $5              $2 35               $45         $20            $7              $3 45               $65         $30            $11            $4 55               $95        $45            $19             $5 65               $200        $100            $45              $6 75               $350         $120            $65              $9 85               $700         $240            $95              $15 95               $1100         $450            $200              $30

                                  Site Published Our Guest Post but Removed the Link Back

                                  I recently developed a nice article for a career site and they agreed to publish it as a guest post. Once they published the article I noticed they had removed the link back to my site in the byline. What is a best way to approach this situation? Would you ask them to take down the article if they are unwilling to link back to your site?

                                  Do links within imbeddable widgets carry link juice?

                                  I'm dipping my toes into infographic design. On of my desired outcomes is to gain links by having other sites embed my graphic. I'm considering using Tableau's interactive data visualization software to do so; thus creating a widget, embedding it on my blog, and including the embed code for others to post. Is it possible to include a juice passing link in such an infographic?  I know its possible to include links inside the tableau graphic but not sure if they have straight SEO value. If these links are not juice passing would it be better to go with a simple image link that passes value?
