      Hi

      Just using the new Moz Link Explorer which has revealed a load of spammy back links at 70% plus that we know nothing about, here are just a few:

      http://rre.eiftcom.press/files/images/sunlife-insurance-logo.html

      http://zsa.eiftcom.press/files/images/sun-life-insurance-logo.html

      http://www.hak660.com/quotesquotesscottish-funeral-quotes.html

      http://picphotos.net/life-insurance-in-your-50s/

      When you visit these pages they all say site unavailable.

      Will this be hurting our site?

      How do i remove them?

      Many thanks

      Ash

        Hi AshShep1,

        I came across this same issue while using the new Link Explorer. I think it's mainly because the new Link Explorer's index is larger than the previous OSE and thus showing us more links that were not indexed previously by OSE.

        Regarding your question, if you feel that the links are undesirable, you can always use the Disavow tool provided by Google in the Google Search Console to disavow those links. https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/disavow-links-main

        Moz has a pretty good article on this tool here: https://moz.com/blog/guide-to-googles-disavow-tool

        Hope this helps!
