Hammered by Spam links

[mattguitar99]

When we moved from one host to another in Wordpress engine, we had this insertion weird redirect thing happen.  We 410'd the page cgi-sys/movingpage.cgi, but it hit us hard in the anchors.  If you go to ahrefs, we are literally all Asian in anchors text.  Anybody have any suggestions, thank goodness it looks like it finally stopped.  I am looking for creative ways to repopulate our back end with the right stuff.  Any thoughts would be great!

Heres a example:

↳customerbloom.com/cgi-sys/movingpage.cgi

↳www.customerbloom.com/cgi-sys/movingpage.cgi

↳lockwww.customerbloom.com/cgi-sys/movingpage.cgi

Hi Matt,

To clarify - these are internal links on your own site that have had the anchors go all weird? Or are they external links?

[MattRoney]

Hi Matt! Any update on this? Are you able to provide the information Ruth has asked for?

[mattguitar99]

No - not internal, external. If  you look in AHREFS you will see 10,000's of Chinese links posting to a old file directory url, and the anchors are asian spam.

The information requested does not actually pertain to the question. i have reframed it

[RuthBurrReedy]

If they are external links, and they are pointing to URLs that no longer exist, I wouldn't worry too much about it - it's unlikely that something that is so clearly spam is going to affect your site in any way. If you are really concerned about it, you could disavow the linking sites in Search Console.

I hope that helps. I'm still a little unclear as to what you mean by repopulating your back end in this context.
