@AYasir have you been trying to get backlinks for you? if yes , make sure those are do follow. or at least the ratio to do follow and no follow is proportional. apart from this , the spamming of backlinks for your website shouldn't really be an issue for you
-
@AYasir Greetings
I have checked the link profile of your domain. It seems like someone is intentionally making spammy backlinks for your site.
Solution is to you the disavow tool, & sumbit it to google.
I hope this will solve your problem.
Another tip for you is Adjust the header alignment in your website, it will looker better.

@alesda I have some information regarding this issue after researching on the internet, you need to block spammy backlinks by Disallow form robots.txt file in WordPress.
How to do it search on YouTube or ask from ChatGPT but do it yourself, after doing this check Google Search Console Link menu for Baclinks status.

@Anjana9638
As other members suggested some tools to check the outbound links of your competitor, the Moz tool is better for that research and you can check on Uber suggest as well. -
I would suggest using ahrefs more than any other tool. been using it for my own insights. ahrefs is like a one for a tool , to be precise way better and user friendly than any other tool in my opinion.
Plus multiple times , i've seen my content ranking / backlink far more quicker than it shows on even the search console itself -
@AYasir Yes, you are right, I am also facing the same spam backlink problem for my website. I also want to get rid of this and I want to block spam backlinks but I don't know much about it, I want to ask my Moz community export here for advice on how to spam. Backlink can be blocked. Please help me because the only center for me is Moz community which can give me timely solution to my problem. I hope I can find a solution to my problem and benefit from this community advice.

There are many tools to do this, for outbound links we use Screaming Frog at our SEO agency. For inbound links we use Moz.

Open Site Explorer (OSE) from Moz: Although it doesn't directly show outbound links, you can enter your competitor's domain to see which domains link to it (inbound links). This can indirectly reveal some of their backlinks, which might also link to them in return.

Hello, There are many tools like Screaming Frog, Backlinkerr & Ahrefs. However, you will have to buy a subscription. Screaming Frog can crawl your complete website. Backlinkerr has a Backlink Checker Tool and Ahref has a long list of options you can use.
You can try whatever you want. -
To check the outbound links of a website, you can use various online tools and methods. Here are some approaches you can take:
Manually Check: One way to identify outbound links is to manually go through each page of the website and inspect the anchor tags (<a>) in the HTML code. Outbound links usually have an href attribute pointing to an external website.
Web Browser Inspection: Most modern web browsers offer developer tools that allow you to inspect the elements of a webpage. Right-click on the page and select "Inspect" or press F12 (or Cmd+Option+I on Mac) to open the developer tools. Look for the "Elements" or "Inspector" tab to view the HTML source code. You can then search for <a> tags to identify outbound links.
Online Link Checking Tools: There are several online tools specifically designed to analyze and check a website's outbound links. These tools crawl through the website and provide a report of all the external links present. Some popular link checking tools include Screaming Frog, Xenu Link Sleuth, and Ahrefs Site Explorer.
SEO Analysis Tools: SEO analysis tools like SEMrush, Moz, and Majestic also provide insights into a website's outbound links, along with other SEO-related information.
Google Search Console: If you own the website or have access to its Google Search Console (previously known as Google Webmaster Tools), you can find valuable data about outbound links from within the platform. Navigate to "Links" and then "External Links" to view a list of websites that link to your site.
Backlink Checker Tools: Backlink checker tools like OpenLinkProfiler or Monitor Backlinks can help you find the external links pointing to a specific website.

@Anjana9638 A tool like Xenu, Site Sucker or Screaming Frog to name a few and then have the tool only focus on reporting external links to minimize crawl overhead.

Unsolved Huge Increase In Internal Links + Domain Authority Tanked
Hey, I am very concerned about the link metrics I am seeing, really hoping someone can help. In October last year there were a total of 34.7K 'total links' attributed to my E-commerce website . This compared to 41.2k and 213k links attributed to my two main competitors. In November, my website had a forced update due to incompatibility issues my shopping cart version was having with the server on which it is hosted. (I was told by my web developers / hosting company that their server was upgraded.) This update created many problems such as checkout issues, page layout issues, sitemaps not automatically regenerating and the big one - it reverted back to http instead of https. Along with my developers, I spent 2 weeks fixing all of the issues until everything worked correctly and https was reinstated. After initial warnings from Moz, I have not received any critical crawler issues or warnings, big ranking drops etc since November. I was satisfied that all was ok. However, in November my 'total links' jumped to 81.5k and have since continued to balloon. December - 309.1k, January -335k, February - 665k, March - 716k, April - 719k, May - 742k, June - 751k. In the same period (November - June), my external links went from 5.3k - 8.7k. So it appears the huge increase in links are internal. In my latest report it states that 'internal follow links' are up by 8k and 'internal no follow links' are up by 1k. This is insane. I cannot understand why I have so many internal links and why they keep increasing. I maintain the website with updates, blog articles etc but no more than I have in the past several years. Worryingly, once this increase in links started being reported, my Domain Authority has also tanked. In October my DA was 37 (higher than my competitors) and has since dropped as low as 19. It has gone up to 21 this month (still significantly lower than my competitors). I have spent hours researching why this huge increase in internal links could be happening but have got nowhere. If anyone could advise what the issue could be and how I can fix it, I would be eternally grateful. Issues I have discovered along the way that may help with analysis:

My site has many 404s (hundreds) - all relate to urls of old images that have been removed from the website. The 'Top Hits' on my website are from blogs (some spammy) to these deleted image urls that return a 404. I don't use any plugins. I do get 'duplicate content' notices as my blog posts archive themselves and generate new urls - as an example - 'blog post name' archived December 2023. It may be the case that the old http urls have been redirected to https but I have no warnings for 'redirect issues' in Moz. Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks in advance for any help.0 -

Unsolved Moz doesn't find backlinks for months / link tracking list offline
Hi there
Product Support | | startrek123
I want to share a big problem with you. Moz tracking list seems to be offline or having trouble finding links. I have an example:
The page where the backlink has been placed was created months ago. As you can see on the picture:
Link to the page is http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/profile/tableauxdumonde
Backlink on that page is https://ggongtime.com/ Picture shows clearly that the page of backlink (Microsoft) has been indexed and already has got it's own backlinks in Moz (8) but it is still not linking to the backlink website (ggongtime.com).
I've also attached a picture of page source where you can clearly see that it is a html link and is dofollow.
The problem remains since 3 months and I want to find out what is going on. This Microsoft page is one of example. There are hundreds of other pages being found, or not, and are still not showing up in Link Explorer on website's portfolio.
I want to know if there is a technical problem with link explorer, or anything else, because this is a serious problem for me. moz problem.png0 -

Moz Pro: Linking RDs to Page much lower than Google Search Console
I'm trying to use the Analyze Keyword tool in Moz Pro, and in the SERP Analysis table, my page has a PA of one, and zero root domains linking to it. If I look at the page in Google Search console, it says I have 229 root domains linking to the page from well known domains like github.com, meetup.com, stackoverflow.com, etc. This particular keyword has been tracked in Moz for the last 6 months, but I just noticed that it was extremely low. I am relatively new to Moz, so forgive me if I sound confused, but can someone explain to me how the numbers can be so low?

Not existing domains linking to my website (spam)
Hello, When i run my platform www.taobao.nl through https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/ i see a lot of nasty adult domains that link to my platform. These give a very negative (spam)score to my platform. I already disavowed quite a few via Webmastertools, but they keep coming. When i check the names in the Whois, they don't even seem to exist! (anymore) What could cause this and how can i end it?? Thanks for your help! Sander
