The Globe - The world's most visited web pages

[Casey_Bryan]

Hey Michael,

If you have no luck getting it manually removed and you think it's harming your website, you may need to consider using Google's disavow tool.

However saying that, Google has said fairly recently that you should really only use the tool if you get a manual action.

Google is pretty good at knowing what are spammy links and it's probably already disregarded them. As for your Moz spam score, I think Meghan has that covered for you

I hope that helps somewhat.

Cheers,
Casey

I also have a ton of these links from TheGlobe and their sister sites. I'm also getting links coming from spammy photo gallery sites that link to our photos with a "." in the anchor text. I have similar concerns that they are hurting our backlink profile, so I started disavowing them in in Google Search Console. I can't say I have seen much of a change in rankings based on it, however.

I also would like to follow on this thread as my site has been listed  to http://internetsearch.com/the_worlds_most_visited_web_pages_311.html and generated a lot of backlinks to the similar directory. I would like to remove it or should I just let it stay there?

I have had the same experience staring from last year but the number of links has steadily increased. It is all from sites related to "the globe"

It seems like a spamming tool. Also as my spam score increased some of my rankings dropped. Hard to correlate directly but I would like to know who is behind this.  I have used disavow tool (about 2 weeks ago)but not gained in rankings as yet...

Has anyone ever actually paid the guy and gotten their link removed? I'm on 1000s of variations of the guys page. Checked that delete link page linked above, and it goes straight to a paypal checkout, no place to put the domain you'd like to remove... I foresee a PayPal dispute in my future should I go that route...

However, if it could be removed from all the variations... that would feel great....

We too are seeing thousands of links from these domains and are going to use disavow.

I have about 2.800 backlinks from this net of websites. They charge you to remove the backlinks from them. So I think this is their business. I think the best option is disavow in the Google search console.

You can get a quick list of (currently 917) domains in the globe network at the url below which I found by googling the following:
