Bad Backlinking Question

[casionmark]

Hi -

Basic question I think - I have picked up an unsolicited backlink on a site called funkpedia. I've no idea what it is but if I check the source code of the page there is an ahref reference to a file in my upload folder.

Should I be concerned about this and start disavowing links like this whenever they turn up - I've seen them on other sites profiles.

Thanks,

i have thousands from them.. i disavowed just in case but pretty sure google has already caught it, every week a new parasite pops up

I am also noticing many bad backlinks on one of my domains. It looks like one of the competitors bought few s**tty links package at Fiverr or some other seller and pointed it to my domain. It is fine till this day I don´t see any rank drop, but it can come in the future. BTW is there any tool which will help me to disawow the links faster, than manually checking domain per domain? It is literally 1000s of them. Screw these people, which has the need to play nfair game

I don't know about disavow packages - I assume there are probably some out there. Are these always attempts to just sabotage the competition?

When uploading a disavow file, do you need to upload for all version of your domain, or just preferred?

I always do all just incase, though all traffic redirects just to the https: only anyhow

I think the preferred one is enough. Make sure that when uploading a new list, it needs to include the previous ones as well.

I only ever upload one (1) disavow file, and that's to the https, everything redirects to that, even the dedi IP. Agree with MMM, make sure you always add the old files to the new updated disavow file

Great, thanks.

I also recommend you to disavow as I have been doing for such bad backlinks.

But I am more than sure that Google takes care of those black-hat sites and does not give importance for the outlinks on those sites.

Might be you have taken links from web 2.0 sites or have submitted sites on any tool like ahref or other seo tools to check website's performance and other things. Such tools and websites as I have seen automatically give back link to our website through different urls.

Obviously, google have an watch eye over all that but sends personal notification of such harmful back links when links clearly becomes unethical.
