    how to fight negative seo spamms against my website

    I get many spammy 404 error links to my websites from different strange places,
    not only 404, but spammy too
    tons of spamm

    links from blogs, expired domains, Quttera, chinese search engines etc etc

    my ranking goes down, i don't do any blackhat seo

    how can i prevent this?

    its someone from my competition probably

    i have idea
    maybe i will redirect all these non exisiting links, or existing (i will change site structure) to my google competition?? hmm
    i set 301 redirect traffic for all incoming spammy traffic to top google sites?


    i'm pissed of


    disavow takes months to recover

    the only thing i can do, is redirect this shit back to my competition via 301 redirects
    probably innocent sites get hit, but, as i said above, i'm pissed off

    i cant do anything other for prevent this
    or maybe do you have any idea?

      The quality and quantity of your content updates will determine your search engine rank. So one of two things has happened. Either the quality and quantity of your content updates has decreased or your competition has stepped up their game.

      Don't blame the backlinks. Backlinks only strengthen your domain authority.

          so, external spammy links to my internal pages do not matter?
          and links to pages which not exist?

          are you sure?

              Google will not penalize you for websites that link to you. You cannot control who links to you.

              Google will penalize you if you link to a bad website from your site. That is under your control.

              If you need more domain authority to rank better for your keywords, get more back links to pages within your domain. That will strengthen your domain Authority.

                  You could rewrite to a 403 the bad links with a page error -- google analytics would never record the links

                      True, but problem is if they are already recorded google will keep scream how there is error.

                          I caught something interesting in wordfence a couple weeks back. Another affiliate of the same program was pushing links to our site using our domain name and his affiliate code.

                          Meaning he was making wordfence think someone was looking for a page on our site with his code.

                          Found out he's doing it to a bunch of big sites as well.
                          When you put our/their domain and his affiliate code into search, the program sites and his sites show up. Ours are not present at all.

                          Now of course who would do that? Well, he is. Strange serps can be manipulated so.

                              Just curious. If someone contacted you saying they were going to send some shit backlinks to your site. How much would you pay this person, to not do that?

                                  Just simply disavow them.
                                  It works great in my experience!

                                      the disavow tool was started to make you do the job of Google. They are using you into betraying your colleagues, because there is no way you can know if the site you are disavowing is doing you harm or was hacked itself. You just can't be 100% sure.

                                      Even though I have had websites that had many shitty incoming links and sunk in the SERPS, i never, ever used the disavow tool. I refused to do the dirty work for the Google masters like a low life informant. The disavow tool is disgusting.

                                          Not true. You can definitly get a penalty for spammy backlinks.

                                              You can and do get penalties and lower ranking from spammy backlinks.

                                              I have the same issue. Hundreds of thousands of spammy links from .ru sites linking to me.

                                              The disavow tool is not something most SEO websites suggest using as it may do more harm than good, if it even works at all.

                                              I'm not sure what can help to be honest, I've yet to read any article or forum post from a trusted source that offers solid advice.

                                                  If you can drill down to their IP's, or their CDIR range, you could blacklist the IP's requests at the server's firewall (iptables or ufw) -- drop their connections -- 'go stealth'. You need root access to the server to do this. To them you are offline. If they move to another IP you would have to do it again.

                                                      Do you see links in search console from clones of your sites on other domains? Google just whacked one of my sites, I think because .pl .ru clone sites with 100k+ links back to my site.

                                                          You should check your backlinks carefully to pick up the bad ones and disavow them. Do not tough good ones!
                                                          The important thing is how you figure out if a link is good or bad ;)

                                                              Google has three options. Don't know if any of them are good or effective.
                                                              1. Black Hat SEO Reporting
                                                              2. SPAM reporting
                                                              3. Disavow


                                                              Has anyone used the black hat or spam reporting tools?

Do this for years, not a month and quit, but all the time. You'll get crazy from it and you're gonna absolutely hate it, but you will eventually come out among the top serps.

                                                                                  All those outside influences are too many and once you concentrate on all of those things you cannot control yourself, you'll get very, very frustrated. Ignore it and keep building.

                                                                                          Plus lots more .pl and .ru and .eu ... many of them clones that redirect to a dating offer.

                                                                                          I'd say I have over 1 million + of those spammy backlinks. My traffic started tanking since the beginning of May but I can't be 100% sure it's because of these links.

Do this for years, not a month and quit, but all the time. You'll get crazy from it and you're gonna absolutely hate it, but you will eventually come out among the top serps.

                                                                                                  All those outside influences are too many and once you concentrate on all of those things you cannot control yourself, you'll get very, very frustrated. Ignore it and keep building.

                                                                                                  Edit: To keep your sanity DO NOT EVER listen to google. They want https? Fuck that, do your own thing. They say 'linkbuilding doesnt work'? Fuck them, they are bullshitting you. Disavow tool? Bullshit, just a way to put people to work for them and snitch on colleagues.
                                                                                                  Everything they say is bullshit. Ignore them and keep your sanity.
                                                                                                  Good points. All believable. Google has a tendency to say one thing and do another.

                                                                                                  Still, we have one program, usually 60-70 joins per month. Membership site. Guaranteed 1:200 ratios. Now 19 sales, 1:348. Increasing traffic push.

                                                                                                          Plus lots more .pl and .ru and .eu ... many of them clones that redirect to a dating offer.

                                                                                                          I'd say I have over 1 million + of those spammy backlinks. My traffic started tanking since the beginning of May but I can't be 100% sure it's because of these links.
                                                                                                          Sounds like that shit isn't helping. We noticed all kinds of crazy shit starting when the router bot network was in full swing. Now its clones. WTF?

The only problem is volume and server load caused ... Google will only get the 301 and the 403 error will be on the domain you don't care about. The URL with the valid path and variables will resolve and be available to Googlebot.

                                                                                                                      the only thing i can do, is redirect this shit back to my competition via 301 redirects
                                                                                                                      probably innocent sites get hit, but, as i said above, i'm pissed off

                                                                                                                      i cant do anything other for prevent this

Fuck that, do your own thing. They say 'linkbuilding doesnt work'? Fuck them, they are bullshitting you. Disavow tool? Bullshit, just a way to put people to work for them and snitch on colleagues.

The reason I ask is because some of the links on some of those domains might be helping you and any action on your part could cause a drop in rankings no matter what you do.

                                                                                                                                      If you're worried about server load get cloudflare and use their custom 404 page option and add your home page code there or a nice keyword rich link to your homepage.

So lesson learned to keep an eye out.

                                                                                                                                                      Have you seen a rise in rankings over the last year, then a drop? The reason I ask is because some of the links on some of those domains might be helping you and any action on your part could cause a drop in rankings no matter what you do.

                                                                                                                                                      Example: oletravel.net w/ 125k backlinks to you is offline, your rankings are down, they could have been helping you.

                                                                                                                                                      I asked about the patterns in their links to you for a reason, you have certain options if their link patterns contain non existent subdirectories on your site, if they're really serious/or knowledgeable about damaging you this will be the case.

                                                                                                                                                      If you're worried about server load get cloudflare and use their custom 404 page option and add your home page code there or a nice keyword rich link to your homepage.

                                                                                                                                                      Disavow the domains, not individual urls, and send to Google ASAP

                                                                                                                                                      Disavowing a full domain goes through quick, a couple weeks or less, and enough submissions from others and Google penalized the bad domain, that's why Nico-T says not to report! (JK ).

                                                                                                                                                      There are tons of other options and someone will always disagree or have a better way but if you're stressed and are low on server resources follow what I said above as your first steps .

The problem of the spammy backlinks has been going on awhile but I'm not completely certain it is the cause of the traffic drop. I'm not saying it isn't just that I'm not 100% convinced.

                                                                                                                                                      Google should know a clone when it sees one. It's an obvious blackhat trick that their also should easily be able to screen out - if we here talk about it freely and know all about clones then so do they.

                                                                                                                                                      I believe google looks at traffic TOS and bounce rate and surfer metrics and values them more than backlinks, especially spammy ones. That's why I'm reluctant to use the disavow tool. I've been reading about other people's thoughts and experiences on it and none of them were ever favorable.

                                                                                                                                                      I guess it would be nice if google came out and told us not to worry about negative seo and spammy links ... the same way they tell us not to build links of any kind. I don't trust them enough.

                                                                                                                                                          add 301 rewrite rule in apache or nginx, or just include particular urls to rewrite or just convert all 404 erorrs to 301 redirects

                                                                                                                                                          and redirect this shit somewhere

                                                                                                                                                          question is

                                                                                                                                                          where we should redirect it

                                                                                                                                                          imho the safest way is redirect it out of your domain
                                                                                                                                                          google index only final destination of 301 redirect

                                                                                                                                                          so make such bridge in your domain, and get this shit out of your website (to your competition, for example )


                                                                                                                                                          or.. second option

                                                                                                                                                          i don't think its a good idea, spammers do this way and they take the risk of google punishment

You just can't be 100% sure.

It's the responsibility of the site owner to protect his site from being hacked. If other people getting fucked because of neglecting webmasters.... fuck em... and report...
