      Google Search Console shows 4K backlinks from jessetree.net (i do not see this backlink in Moz inbound links though). I have been tracking backlinks from this domain for half a year and it fluctuates between 1K and 6K is the highest I have seen it, not sure what is causing the link count to change. We are using Google's disavow tool against this domain and have been for 5 months. Does anyone have any idea what jesse tree is and any insight into this odd (to me) backlink situation?

        Have you tried looking at the nature of some of these links? What do the pages with the links look like? its not uncommon to see things like this... there could be many explanations - spam, scraping bots, remnants of staging environments amongst a few.

        If you have disavowed the whole domain, then there is nothing to worry about.

          Thank you for your response. So I looked at what pages in my site these backlinks link to, looking at GSC > Links > Top linking sites > jessetree.net, and all 4k+ links to my home page. Just to make sure, i checked other GSC properties on my radar and see if a domain backlins to multiple pages, GSC shows it. But in the case of jessetree.net, everything links to the home page. in fact, GSC also shows 1 for target pages from this domain. then i went deeper with GSC > latest links and found 2 links from this domain and loaded them for insight, but only see a WordPress error. So nothing really learned there.

          GSC > latest links, 2 instanced of 4k+ linking to my home page
          these links just load a wordpress error.

          Maybe just have to chalk it up to what ya suggested: If you have disavowed the whole domain, then there is nothing to worry about.

            This probably isn't the last time you'll see some odd linking behavior to your site. You're doing the right thing by keeping an eye out on your backlink profile.
