How to use moz to find spam backlinks
-
I am new to MOZ pro. I have lots of spam backlinks from a company that blackhatted me about 5 years ago. Can MOZ list these for me? I don't know how.
Thanks

From Spam Analysis you can export a disavow file and upload it in Google Webmaster Tools.

Hey there! Tawny from Moz's Help Team here!
Sean is totally right - the place to go would be Open Site Explorer, and you'd want to take a look at the Spam Analysis tab! That should help you focus your efforts for disavowing any links that need to be disavowed.

Hey there,
Put your website URL through Moz Open Site Explorer and pull out all backlinks pointing to any page on your domain. Moz has it's own metric known as 'Spam Score' that will rate how likely each link is to be 'spam'. This should help you on your way:

I hope that helps!

Unsolved Moz doesn't find backlinks for months / link tracking list offline
Hi there
Product Support | Nov 23, 2023, 7:09 AM | 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 -

Questions about the MOZ
Sometimes the MOZ logs out of my account on its own, and I'm quite annoyed about this, how can it not log out of the website even though I've already saved it?

Moz free account
Hi, I currently have a Moz Pro account, if I was to downgrade to a free account am I still able to ask and answer questions on the Q&A area? Also, would I lose my points accrued?

Historical Data in MOZ
Currently I'm sharing a MOZ account with an SEO buddy of mine. So, let’s say we want our own account eventually. Would I be able to export historical keyword data to a new account?
