      Hello there,

      Happy new year for everyone, and good luck this year.

      I have a real problem here, I saw in MOZ link history that somehow the "Total Linking Root Domains" is growing from a medium of 30 - 40 to 240 - 340 links and keep it growing. I guess somebody make me good joke, cause i did not buy any link :)) even cn, brasil, jp links, my store is from Romania.

      How I can block these links I think google will make me bad instead. What should i do?

      Thank you so much.

      With respect,
      Andrei

        Hi Andrei

        You should definitely disavow these links if you suspect them to be bad or dodgy links. A very substantial guide on how to do so can be found here http://moz.com/blog/guide-to-googles-disavow-tool

        This will help you avoid getting penalised by google.

        Regards

          'Neatza Andrei,

          First of all, try to monitor new backlinks for the website, where are they coming from, what type of links are coming in to your website. Are all of these links low quality?

          I'd use Majestic for this problem (they identify new links way faster than Moz), so you can export raw data, analyize and create a disavow file for the low quality links.

          Gr., Keszi

            If you had no part in making them Google says you should be fine to ignore them.  But, if you want to be sure, it's not a bad idea to comb through them and disavow on the domain level.

            There is info in here that may help:

            You may also want to have a good look for malware if you are seeing a sudden increase in links to your site. Sometimes a Google search for site:yoursite.com viagra | cialis | loans can help.

              Hello all, and thank you for answers.

              I disavow the links (500), but no effects, still. 3 Months passed. Nothing, I am still "banned", if i can say so.

              Anyway for unserious players (Seo), this will become a precedent situation. So if you want to "kick" the competition just buy them 500 - 1000 links, and you should be 1st position. Google must pay attention to this kinds of shits. Really now :))

              With respect,
              Andrei
