      Hello,

      What is the best and quickest way to identify spammy sites that link to a website, and then remove them ( google disavow?)

      Thank you dear Moz, community - I appreciate your  help 🙂

      Sincerely,

      Vijay

        Hi vijayvasu,

        Maintaining a healthy link profile is necessary; and being proactive, like your question implies, is a great skill to exercise.

        Start by using Moz's link analysis tool. Export the links to an excel, remove duplicate domains, then identify from that list the domains that may be spammy (low DA/PA).

        You'll need to visit the site to know how spammy it is and whether or not your should proactively shun that link. Use Google's disavow tool to remove them from your link profile.
