Spammy links redirecting to homepage of site -

[BrianYork-AIM]

Hey guys,

I'm auditing a website at the moment and Moz is showing a few spammy links linking to it.

The problem is these domains are all 301 redirecting to the domain I'm auditing.

Let's say I'm auditing Site A. Site B is been flagged in Moz OSE with 12 spam flags. When I try to open Site B in a browser, it redirects back to Site A.

What's the best thing to do, here? Disavowing domains redirecting to the site is surely a bad idea?

Cheers.

Who owns the sites redirecting? It's pretty rare to have someone redirecting to a site they don't own or have any business relationship etc with...

If it's the same person, and the redirects are spammy/not sending useful traffic, you can just turn the redirects off.

Can you do anything to adjust the links? As in just find the route domain which might not redirect so you can contact the webmaster

Dan/James, thanks for the replies.

The company owns the domains themselves. Turning off the redirects seems like the easiest, and best thing to do.

Cheers guys.
