48.8k Unwanted Spam Links Appeared

[Chris_McIlroy]

Hi All,

A new client of mine has over the last 3 months recieved about 50K worth of forum style spam links to his website, most of the keywords anchor text is adult or bad language.

it seems to me this is;

1. A mistsake
2. A competitor
3. Random SEO trolling

My question is, What strategy should we use to combat this? Do we need to? There has been an impact SERPs however we are just gettign started with the client so we can help there (hopefully!).

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

If you are seeing an impact, then start to disavow and do this monthly just to keep on top of it. However, chances are that Google would recognise these for what they are and just ignore them.

Due diligence would sway me towards disavow though.
