Realmente este spamer es muy molesto, pero según veo en mi seach console, Google no toma en cuenta sus backlinks así que no debería preocuparnos.

@otorongonegro muchas Gracias! excelente file.

Hello my website is www.seodekho.com
I just buy a fresh domain and even not create a single backlink in the last 2 or 3 years Moz is still showing 33 backlinks. Suddenly (In the last 2-3 months) my spam score increased to 22, I don't know why. Now I want to know how can I decrease my spam score to 1. -
Hello everyone, here is my list of 1428 domains related to this Spammer to disavow these links in your Seach Console:
-
You can get a quick list of (currently 917) domains in the globe network at the url below which I found by googling the following:
inurl:the_worlds_most_visited_web_pages
http://www.theglobe.bet/the_worlds_most_visited_web_pages-txt.txt
-
I have about 2.800 backlinks from this net of websites. They charge you to remove the backlinks from them. So I think this is their business. I think the best option is disavow in the Google search console.
-
We too are seeing thousands of links from these domains and are going to use disavow.

Has anyone ever actually paid the guy and gotten their link removed? I'm on 1000s of variations of the guys page. Checked that delete link page linked above, and it goes straight to a paypal checkout, no place to put the domain you'd like to remove... I foresee a PayPal dispute in my future should I go that route...
However, if it could be removed from all the variations... that would feel great....
-
I have had the same experience staring from last year but the number of links has steadily increased. It is all from sites related to "the globe"
It seems like a spamming tool. Also as my spam score increased some of my rankings dropped. Hard to correlate directly but I would like to know who is behind this. I have used disavow tool (about 2 weeks ago)but not gained in rankings as yet...
-
I also would like to follow on this thread as my site has been listed to http://internetsearch.com/the_worlds_most_visited_web_pages_311.html and generated a lot of backlinks to the similar directory. I would like to remove it or should I just let it stay there?
-
I also have a ton of these links from TheGlobe and their sister sites. I'm also getting links coming from spammy photo gallery sites that link to our photos with a "." in the anchor text. I have similar concerns that they are hurting our backlink profile, so I started disavowing them in in Google Search Console. I can't say I have seen much of a change in rankings based on it, however.

Hey Michael,
If you have no luck getting it manually removed and you think it's harming your website, you may need to consider using Google's disavow tool.
However saying that, Google has said fairly recently that you should really only use the tool if you get a manual action.
Google is pretty good at knowing what are spammy links and it's probably already disregarded them. As for your Moz spam score, I think Meghan has that covered for you
I hope that helps somewhat.
Cheers,

Hi there!
Thanks so much for the great question! When it comes to digging into your Spam Score, we have a great resource in our Help Hub which breaks down all the factors which go into determining that score. I would definitely recommend checking it out as this may help offer some extra guidance on why your spam score is what it is. You can find that resource here: https://moz.com/help/guides/link-explorer/spam-score
The percentage you’re seeing is indicative of the percentage of sites with similar features to the site you’re researching in Link Explorer which have been penalized by Google. Since the Spam Score metric is based on correlation instead of causation, the solution may not necessarily be to to change factors on your site. There are many different factors which come into play when calculating and assessing Spam Score so this tool is really meant to be used as a way to identify what links you may want to investigate and factors on your site you may want to consider looking into.
As far as next steps to take after having reached out to the site you’re concerned about, I may not be the best person to answer. I’m so sorry about that! I do hope that the info above helps to answer your other questions, though! If you have additional questions about our tools, please feel free to send an email on over to help@moz.com!

Limit MOZ crawl rate on Shopify or when you don't have access to robots.txt
Hello. I'm wondering if there is a way to control the crawl rate of MOZ on our site. It is hosted on Shopify which does not allow any kind of control over the robots.txt file to add a rule like this: User-Agent: rogerbot Crawl-Delay: 5 Due to this, we get a lot of 430 error codes -mainly on our products- and this certainly would prevent MOZ from getting the full picture of our shop. Can we rely on MOZ's data when critical pages are not being crawled due to 430 errors? Is there any alternative to fix this? Thanks
