      Hello, I need assistance, recently I noticed a huge traffic drop from my blog, lost all the rankings in SERP. I got to know that it's Google OCT Spam Update mainly it's about spamming and black hat techniques.

      But I haven't done any spammy practices or Black HAT SEO. I pay good amount of $ a month to freelancing content writers and don't make any spam backlinks.

      My site is : tcmguide.com

      Checked my site in search console and noticed that I had out of no where got 13000+ links from different dirty sites, as I have never tried to building those links in my life.

      13 382 links.jpg

      I tried to export and Disavow this but via Export I got access to 1000 only and can't find these links in MOZ.

      Moz is showing other links, can any one help me out to recover my traffic and If my site is hit with Spam Update, how can I recover from it.

      Please help me felling pretty demotivated and stressed

        @CreoLogic said in I am getting automatic spam links to my site, how can I remove them?:

        picious are likely correct. We suggest you proceed with disavowing, starting with the highest-volume culprit domains. See if it moves the needle, and give it a little time. Report back, we'll watch

        Hi, you can do it on Google Search Console. Here is a link may help you. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2648487?hl=en

            Get number of OUTBOUND link from a domain ??

            Hello I´m doing some link profile audit and I noticed that there are some data that would be nice to know for a proper evaluation. The case is the following: Imagine I have a link coming from a blog, so (besides other factors) would be really great to know how many external links follow-nofollow this blog has. I dont mean external links pointing to them (what opensite gives you), what I would like to know is the total number of links this blog has pointing to other external websites. With this data, I would be able to guess in a better way if this blog is selling links or if is spammy.  I would be able to know also how this blog/domain distributes its link juice and if the link gives me some value or if is dangerous. I have found some tools/sites but i just get the number of links a specific url has, not the domain info: Screaming frog (but the free version gives you almost nothing, link count checker, etc... ) Do you know any way to get this data in a domain level? You think this data would be important to decide about keeping a link or taking it out? Why none of the powerful tools of the market (opensite, majestic, etc...) provide this info? Many thanks for your help

            Can you require link attribution under the creative commons license?

            If we decide to put a variety of our images under a creative commons license, can we require that individuals who choose to utilize these images link back to us?

            Can you have too many badge links?

            If you badge program becomes really successful, can too many badge links hurt your rankings? Since they are image links that are often placed in the sidebar of blogs, could Google mistake badges as do-follow ads and apply a penalty?

            New ways to get links (excluding on site link bait)?

            Fellow SEOs, I’m looking for a new way to reach out to bloggers and site owners for links. There are quite a few link bait techniques to lure bloggers thanks to = amazing content, infographics,...but there are not so many articles on ways to contact bloggers/webmasters and ask for links... We all know that contacting site owners directly and politely asking then to place a link on their home page is as useful as a comb in Bruce willis’s hand. Link exchange is as dead as the Dodo and business partner links are usefull and easier to get but opportunities are often limited. I have been organizing contests for bloggers recently and it has been quite successful up to now, but I always like to have a spare trick up my sleeve. So if any of you have a decent method to reach out to  bloggers/webmaster and get decent links please let me know, I will be forever thankful ; ) Cheers
