@craigyt Thanks for the advice!

Hi all,

I have a ski website that I am currently performing a toxic backlink audit on. I have noted that a lot of the links being flagged as toxic/spammy by the tool I am using seem to be the same/similar sites with different URLs. The sites are vaguely related to skiing (relating to helicopter travel options for travelling to ski resorts) but it is concerning me that there are so many of them and they are being flagged as so toxic.
Do you think it is worth disavowing these? Or contacting the owner to ask them to remove the link?

I have included an example of some of the links below.

https://www.cannes-helicopters.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
https://nice-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
https://monaco-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5

Slightly different site but same favicon icon:
https://monaco-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
https://www.whitetracks-holidays.com/Helicopter_Transfers_Villars_Switzerland.htm

Thanks in advance for any advice / help!

Hi,

I'd simply delete all the ones that get no traffic.

Do the rest provide value? If so? Consolidate the rest into logical useful tags.

We have done this quite a few times and removing the bloat has positive impacts.

You can crawl the site after with something like screaming frog to find any 404's. You can create redirects for broken pages. This will make sure no 404's exist.

I hope that helps?

PS

If you don't need tags at all you can remove them from the index to test the water...  If you have Yoast you can set tags to no index on this page: (yourdomain.com)/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpseo_titles#top#taxonomies

Then if you don't need them and none are providing no value. Delete and apply redirects for broken pages if necessary.

I have found the error.

Cloudflare.

Im not sure what it was that caused it, but by turning it off, it seems to be now crawlable.

If anyone knows what would cause this, I woul dbe thankful to know.

Hi,

This site is not indexed on Google at all. http://www.thethreehorseshoespub.co.uk

Looking into it, it seems to be giving a 503 error to the google bot.

• I can see the site
• I have checked source code
• Checked robots
• Did have a sitemap param. but removed it for testing
• GWMT is showing 'unreachable' if I submit a site map or fetch

Any ideas on how to remove this error?

Many thanks in advance

How come Moz pro doesnt show this?

It also doen't show meta description info.
