Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We don't sell online and I'm having the exact same problem. I'd love to implement Schema but I don't see how without listing a price.

H Olegi, We lost traffic to all areas. Robots are the same, canonicals seem fine. There are a lot more url's that seem to be the various sized thumbnail images. Now we are suffering heavily from the March update. Thanks,

What John says, it's totally a rip-off and definitely not a site that Moz is owning.

Hi Nikki Thanks for the response. I too am under the impression that with penguin being live that big G had figured out how to diminish value from spam links and it was no longer an issue. On the flip side The only real thing that's changed over the past 6 months for us is a massive increase in these spam links. I will try to just bullet out a response so I don't write a novel Yes I have checked if it's hacked and it is not. I have no manual actions listed I did just look for weird traffic sources, and out of the 48 that I do have, the only weird ones are from urls with the spammy links. Also to note, our ranking has not dropped in any other search engines, only google. In fact we have improved in Bing and Yahoo. Another note. I have disavowed a few porn backlinks we have gotten from sites like gay.interracialsexcinema among others. In the past 7 days I have gotten 33 new links from sites like zenlaser.c0oo - thefreestates.commm prowp.neeet  and lilucia02.coooommmm slash cantilever-coffee-table dot html. Many of the domains that are linking to us are literally created (whois lookup)  15 - 30 days before we get a link. All domains are registered private (except one that i caught just before going private and it was in china) and 90% of them are hiding behind cloudflare. An annoying thing is that over 90% of these links are on pages that the url path is the actual same url path or title tag that we are using on our page as well as the h1's and h2's with a "." anchor or the actual path anchor linking back to either our page or an image on our site. I updated the disavow a few weeks ago but have not added all domains to it as I wanted to knock it down little by little. I have been hesitant to do a one shot one kill approach as I want to be cautious in the event that I make a mistake and cause an even larger issue. Any further thoughts? Thanks again!

I also just realized that these are not just images being hotlinked. It seems that on each page with the hotlinked images there is also an actual link with an anchor of "." being used.

Hi Zach, Just to quickly add to what Nicholas has said, I have seen instances where links to a site via hotlinked images can cause ranking problems. It sounds like you're on top of it with the disavow file, so just keep an eye on things and update that as you find new links. If you've been hit by the Fred update, that does seem like something different, but again it sounds like you're doing the right things that would help with SEO anyway. It could be worth comparing your site and it's features to other sites that seem to have been affected and see if you can spot any similarities. Here is a list from Search Engine Roundtable. Cheers.

If the transfer from HTTP to HTTPS is done well with 301 redirects, updating the various webmaster tool locations, maybe a little press around the change (new links, social, etc.) then it should transition well.
