We're looking at providing SEO for a website that has the majority of its incoming links from websites created solely to provide links. Few have bad spam rankings. How worried should I be about those links?

The majority of incoming links to a prospect's website are from website pages apparently created solely to provide links to the website. Few have high spam scores. The sites linking to the main site have versions of blogs with linked text. They seem to be providing positive SEO value now, but I'm concerned they might get noticed and hurt the main site in the future.

There are several factors that you need to check to determine whether a backlink is positive or negative for the SEO of the site. Whenever you consider disavowing a backlink you should be very careful and take all factors into account, because if you disavow backlinks that are positive to your site, your rankings will decrease. That is why Google has "hidden" the link disavow tool.

The main factors that you should take into account are:

• Domain Authority
• Page Authority
• Spam Score
• Relevancy
