      There is a domain for sale that has a quite nice profile and a lot of good backlinks, but also quite a few spammy ones.

      This domain has a Spam Score of 14% acc. to Moz Link explorer, ours has only 2%.

      My questions:

      1. The domain and the good backlinks are related to or close to our content/keywords. But we are worried whether the "spammy" ones will hurt us. Does anyone has experience with this?

      2. Would it help if we disavow the spammy backlinks afterwards? And if so, how do we do that? Add new domain to search console, disavow the bad links and then redirect the entire domain to our domain or redirect the domain first and then disavow from our property?

      Many thanks for your help!

        If you're OK with domain age, niche etc. you can disavow bad links.

        Or you can try to remove them manually. Contact website owners to request them.
