Hello,
We receiving last few months a lot of bad links from sites like this:
http://service-fm.ru/component/k2/itemlist/user/87565
http://budogosh.ru/index.php?option=...k=user&id=7669
http://armigh.com.br/index.php?optio...user&id=169623
This looks like good site, but hacked by some robots and filled with low value content with our link.
Question:
It is negative SEO attack against us? Or something else?
And how to fight against this?
Thanks
It seems. Are they pointed to certain pages?
I have seen this does a bazillion times, they link out all over the place in hopes it will help their pages rank on those keywords, as well as the negative effect on those they link to....
Disavow and move on.

Yes, absolutely. I totally agree with you, Rick. These people are just shooting links all over the place in order to help them get a boost on their pages and their ranks. There's a very good chance that they will also get penalised by Google over this.Quote:

When did linking out help boost ranks? This is just cheap typical negative SEO.. i get a lot of spammy casino domains which hit my money pages, I used to disavow then tried ignoring them to see what happened.. you know what.. so far ranks have remained stable, I think G is pretty good upon picking these up now.
Did google not state they will no longer penalize pages for spammy links just not count them once again.
Yeah, Nick Garner has a very interesting interview with John Mueller from Google in the last issue of IGB magazine. Bottom line, bad/crappy links = no links. John Mueller actually said that he is not using the disavow tool for his site, however his site is definitely not in the gambling niche...;)Quote:

I hope my explanation makes sense.
Yeah, it seems to make sense. It's such a shame though.Quote:

Yep, that's why it could be an indication that it's a mood-willing intent. If that's the case.Quote:

Yeah, you hit the nail square on the head. That's exactly what I'm talking about...Quote:

I agree with you but I do not think that Google will give a negative ranking factor for the sites which are linked from this blacklisted sites even the site do not make any disavow.
because it may not be fair in case the victim site's owner does know that his/her site is linked....
What do you think?
I agree with a portion of that, since they can clearly see that the pages are not quality for sure, but I usually disavow anyway. I wonder if the disavow hits on a domain hurts the domain long term.

I have disavowed for one of my older sites also and it helped that site to recover from Google penalty!
But I still think that Google should have taken precautions with this issue. Otherwise, it becomes very easy for the bad aimed people to give harm to any site they want. Right?
The "Google Game" should not be this much easy! :)
Cheers!
You can use the Disavow tool it's the easiest way. https://www.google.com/webmasters/to...nks-main?pli=1
Yeah, this is also my preference of first choice. It's a nifty little tool and it's easy and straightforward for anyone to use.Quote:
