      Hi guys,

      I recently suffered a major negative seo attack against my site, with more than 380K spam backlinks using more than 5k domains.

      Because of this, I'm having serious problems tracking my site's statistics in GSC due to the limit of only 1000 query lines.

      Please, I need help on how I can get access to all these 5,000 domains in the search console so I can create a disavow list.

      Any tips on how to clean this up?

            Create a disavow file listing the spam domains and submit it via Google's Disavow Tool.
            Reach out to Google Support, explaining the severity, and request assistance in managing the large number of spam backlinks.

            Best Regards

              Hey! I'm sorry to hear about the negative SEO attack on your site. Dealing with spam backlinks can be challenging, but it's crucial to take steps to protect your site's integrity. While Google Search Console has limitations, you can utilize the 'Disavow Links' tool to address harmful backlinks. To efficiently manage a large number of domains, consider breaking down the list into smaller chunks for submission. Additionally, seeking assistance from an SEO consultant can be valuable. They possess expertise in navigating such situations, providing guidance on disavow processes, and helping you regain control over your site's SEO health. Really hope this helps! Good luck!

                  Unsolved DA dropping after spam attack

                  moz pro da domain authority spam backlink attack spam backlinks

                  Hello. Our DA has dropped from 40 to 28. Why does moz take into account clear spam links. Not all links are created by website owners. Popular websites also see a lot of unknown spam linking. Any solutions to over-ride these issues? It seems very futile to see the DA dropping without any apparent reason or help towards actionable data.

                  Google doesn't show my Twitter account

                  google search ranking issue

                  Hello, my full name is Timo Rossa and my Twitter (X) account is @TimoRossa. If I search for my name with "Timo Rossa" on Google, it doesn't find any results referencing my Twitter account. It is very important for me that Google does not only show Twitter results for my name but also that those results would be ranked at the top. The only reason I could come up with is that my account name has not separated words. Does this make sense? What would be a simple strategy to achieve my goal? Thank you!

                  Hey Community! I am facing an ranking issue, I am trying to rank on multiple quires with my sub-pages. The issue is homepage is ranking on every single query. Even the homepage's content is not relevant to that query! I have made sure to remove any sort of content relevancy from homepage which i trying to rank with my sub-pages.

Even after I have done some necessary things but still there is not effect on rankings. Let me share some examples: Query: recruitment agency for gulf in pakistan Home Page Showing
                  1.jpg Page i want to ranking:
                  2.jpg This issue is not only with this page, it's appearing on multiple quires but I think it should clear the issue I am facing.

Please share some quick thoughts on-page content. Even I make a page that have the word recruiting/recruitment in it google will automatically rank homepage and not the page i want! Thanks in advance for help 🙂

                  Clever Way To Increase Organic Search Traffic To News/Magazine Websites

                  newsseo magazine link building seo tactics

                  Hi fellow Mozzers... I've been asked to increase organic search (SEO) traffic to a news/magazine style website. All the website consists of is regular news articles within a specific niche. It is also already listed on Google News. I know we can improve any on-page tactics, such as optimising the article webpages, internal linking, improving the navigation and adding breadcrumbs etc. But what about off-page? They want us to work on backlinks to the site, which we can do for the homepage to improve the domain authority. But there's no point on increasing backlinks to the individual news articles, as they have a very short life span, and are not evergreen. Perhaps it's a good idea to increase backlinks to the category pages? But there are no real keyword opportunites on these pages. Can anyone recommend a clever SEO strategy to increase SEO traffic to a news style website? The site can be found at https://tinyurl.com/2p9arrwz Best wishes. Many thanks for any replies in advance 🙂 Lee.

                  Plagiarized Site Effecting Google Rankings

                  seo rankings spam plagiarism duplicate content

                  Can someone provides insights on a de-indexing example? I have gone through the depths of Google lack of support and requesting duplicate content flags, so no avail. Here's the scenario: Client had a competing SEO provider try to earn his business. In doing so, he copied word for word our blog that we have been producing content on over the last 5 years. He also integrated Google reviews in the structured data on this new URL. Well, fast forward 1-2 months later, our rankings started to drop. We found this 100% plagiarized site is taking away from our keyword rankings on GMB, and is no and Google search, and our site GMB is now only displaying on a branded name search as well as our search traffic has dropped. I have identified the plagiarized, duplicated content, being tied to our GMB as well, as the source of the problem. Well, I finally obtain ed control of the plagarized domain and shut down the hosted, and forwarded the URL to our URL. Well, Google still has the HTTS version of the site indexed. And it is in my professional opinion, that since the site is still indexed and is associated with the physician GMB that was ranking for our target keyword and no longer does, that this is the barrier to ranking again. Since its the HTTPS version, it is not forwarded to our domain. Its a 504 error but is still ranking in the google index. The hosting and SSL was canceled circa December 10th. I have been waiting for Google to de-index this site, therefore allowing our primary site to climb the rankings and GMB rankings once again. But it has been 6 weeks and Google is still indexing this spam site. I am incredibly frustrated with google support (as a google partner) and disappointed that this spam site is still indexed. Again, my conclusion that when this SPAM site is de-indexed, we will return back to #1. But when? and at this point, ever? Highlighted below is the spam site. Any suggestions? Capture.PNG
