How to handle Moz reported Spam external links

[LIVEASISSTINFO]

I have noticed Spam external links linking to my website. I do not know who has handled these spam external links to my website. It looks like a Spam SEO my competitors did on my website.

I believe my site was penalized by google with those spam link and lost it's visibility in search .

How do I get rid off SPAM external links now?

I got an answer with Disavow tool from Google.

NOTE:This is an advanced feature and should only be used with caution. If used incorrectly, this feature can potentially harm your site’s performance in Google’s search results. We recommend that you disavow backlinks only if you believe you have a considerable number of spammy, artificial, or low-quality links pointing to your site, and if you are confident that the links are causing issues for you. In most cases, Google can assess which links to trust without additional guidance, so most normal or typical sites will not need to use this tool.

Thank you

Hi Praveen,

Additional to this, my this answer to a similar question might help you define the quality of the links.

Do check spam links manually, sometimes tools can generate false spam report based on their own metrics and you might lose a valuable link which might be bringing real target traffic to your website.

Feel free to respond and ask any questions further.

Regards,

Vijay
