      Hi guys, our ftp got hacked a few days ago and the person uploaded a bunch of html pages with links to fake rolex websites. They also build a ton of links to the urls they had created in the image folder on our site with very spammy keyword anchor texts all in line of the same fake watches.

      What do you recommend as a plan of action? Make a list of all the backlinks and upload them in the Google disavow tool? Obviously i have already deleted the pages they were linking to and secured our ftp.

      Looking forward to your advice 🙂

              • Is there anything wrong to have large number of internal links pointing to homepage? Including links from sub domains or sub directories?

              • Hi, we are adding button in the top of page bar which are links to the other pages, how can we make these links visible to the search engines? As we cannot introduce anchor text there
