              @mishainfotech221 I want to disavow links from MOZ because disavowing links from Google cannot decrease my spam score is there any method of disavowing spammy backlinks from MOZ? Like My web https://technicalinterest.com/ has a spam score of 17% and I cant do anything about that.

                Identify Problematic Links: Use various tools and techniques to identify the links that you want to disavow. These may include backlink analysis tools, manual inspection of your link profile, or identification of suspicious or low-quality links.
                Create Disavow File: Open a plain text editor (such as Notepad) and create a file. Each line in the file should contain either the URL or domain that you want to disavow. Use the "domain:" prefix to disavow an entire domain (e.g., "domain:example.com"). Save the file with a ".txt" extension (e.g., "disavow.txt").
                Submit the Disavow File to Google: Upload the disavow file to the Google Disavow Tool using the following link: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/disavow-links-main. Sign in with the Google account associated with your website.
                Select Your Website: Choose the website for which you want to disavow links.
                Upload the Disavow File: Click on the "Choose file" button and select the disavow file you created.
                Review and Submit Disavow File: Review the previewed disavow list to ensure its accuracy. If everything looks correct, click on the "Submit" button to submit the disavow file to Google.
                Monitor the Disavowed Links: Regularly monitor your website's link profile using Google Search Console or other SEO tools to ensure that the disavowed links no longer impact your website's search performance.

                  Here are the steps to disavow links with Google Search Console:

                  Log in to your Google Search Console account and select the website you want to disavow links for.

                  Go to the "Links" tab under the "Search Traffic" section in the left-hand navigation menu.

                  Click on "More" and select "Disavow Links."

                  Click on "Disavow Links" again to confirm that you want to disavow links for your website.

                  Upload a file containing the list of links you want to disavow. The file should be in plain text format (.txt) and should contain one URL per line.

                  Once you have uploaded the file, click on the "Submit" button to complete the disavowal process.

                  It's important to note that disavowing links should only be done as a last resort, and it's recommended that you first try to remove any bad links manually or by reaching out to the website owners. Additionally, it may take some time for Google to process your disavowal request and for any changes to take effect in your search engine rankings.

                      If you have a domain property in Google Console, you cannot submit a disavow file. However, you can contact Google's Search Console support team and ask them to manually review your disavow list. You can also create a new Google Console property that is specifically for disavowing domains and links.

                        Unsolved Huge Increase In Internal Links + Domain Authority Tanked

                        internal linking domain authority

                        Hey, I am very concerned about the link metrics I am seeing, really hoping someone can help. In October last year there were a total of 34.7K 'total links' attributed to my E-commerce website . This compared to 41.2k and 213k links attributed to my two main competitors. In November, my website had a forced update due to incompatibility issues my shopping cart version was having with the server on which it is hosted. (I was told by my web developers / hosting company that their server was upgraded.) This update created many problems such as checkout issues, page layout issues, sitemaps not automatically regenerating and the big one - it reverted back to http instead of https. Along with my developers, I spent 2 weeks fixing all of the issues until everything worked correctly and https was reinstated. After initial warnings from Moz, I have not received any critical crawler issues or warnings, big ranking drops etc since November. I was satisfied that all was ok. However, in November my 'total links' jumped to 81.5k and have since continued to balloon. December - 309.1k, January -335k, February - 665k, March - 716k, April - 719k, May - 742k, June - 751k. In the same period (November - June), my external links went from 5.3k - 8.7k. So it appears the huge increase in links are internal. In my latest report it states that 'internal follow links' are up by 8k and 'internal no follow links' are up by 1k. This is insane. I cannot understand why I have so many internal links and why they keep increasing. I maintain the website with updates, blog articles etc but no more than I have in the past several years. Worryingly, once this increase in links started being reported, my Domain Authority has also tanked. In October my DA was 37 (higher than my competitors) and has since dropped as low as 19. It has gone up to 21 this month (still significantly lower than my competitors). I have spent hours researching why this huge increase in internal links could be happening but have got nowhere. If anyone could advise what the issue could be and how I can fix it, I would be eternally grateful. Issues I have discovered along the way that may help with analysis:
                        My site has many 404s (hundreds) - all relate to urls of old images that have been removed from the website. The 'Top Hits' on my website are from blogs (some spammy) to these deleted image urls that return a 404. I don't use any plugins. I do get 'duplicate content' notices as my blog posts archive themselves and generate new urls - as an example - 'blog post name' archived December 2023. It may be the case that the old http urls have been redirected to https but I have no warnings for 'redirect issues' in Moz. Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks in advance for any help.

                        Should I disavow these links?

                        backlinks toxicbacklinks audit backlinkaudit disavow

                        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:

                        How is Moz DA affected by spam links? Disavow file?

                        So it does not appear that moz let's you upload your disavow file.  So when moz calculates your DA how do spammy links factor in? After digging through our GA it appears our site was hit with the 2016 penguin update and never recovered.  Our weekly visitors were 2k, then dropped to 500 and have stayed close to that level for a while. We've used the disavow tool, without success over the past 3 years.  During that time we have done link out reach and built around 10 legit good quality DA links since.  But we have not recovered.  At this point i'm thinking I should just remove the disavow file. Moz says our spam score for our domain is 5%.

                        Moz Pro: Linking RDs to Page much lower than Google Search Console

                        I'm trying to use the Analyze Keyword tool in Moz Pro, and in the SERP Analysis table, my page has a PA of one, and zero root domains linking to it. If I look at the page in Google Search console, it says I have 229 root domains linking to the page from well known domains like github.com, meetup.com, stackoverflow.com, etc. This particular keyword has been tracked in Moz for the last 6 months, but I just noticed that it was extremely low. I am relatively new to Moz, so forgive me if I sound confused, but can someone explain to me how the numbers can be so low?

                        Do other sites linking to my page with a low domain authority affect my rankings?

                        Hello, my page authority 30, I see other page with an authority of 21 for example linking to us. Is this good or bad, does this affect our ranking? A lot of these don't have anchor text, I'm guessing we should reach out to these webmaster to include anchor text with the keywords we want to drive traffic to this page or make as descriptive as possible? Thanks! Laura
