        First, I would check your site for hacked content. My guess is that would be the logical reason for them linking to your pages. Go to your file manager and look for strange folders or files with a recent modified date.

        Next you will want to compile a list of all these links and send a disavow request through Google Webmaster tools. You can follow the steps here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2648487?hl=en

        Sorry for the misfortune. Best of luck getting back on track.

          Thanks, but the only reason they got linked was through a hosting change we did, the files were dumped in the process, theres no issues on the file side internally. The main issue is that the anchors are so wacked out, its going to be hard to fix the balance.

            Hi Matt,

            Google probably will ignore all of these - they are pretty good at recognising spam like this, but to err on the side of caution, start to disavow the spam sites as Nick said. It's fairly easy to do if you haven't done it before, but I know you can build a disavow file from within Ahrefs.

            -Andy
