          @mishainfotech221 I want to disavow links from MOZ because disavowing links from Google cannot decrease my spam score is there any method of disavowing spammy backlinks from MOZ? Like My web https://technicalinterest.com/ has a spam score of 17% and I cant do anything about that.
          I have other websites with same problem

            Identify Problematic Links: Use various tools and techniques to identify the links that you want to disavow. These may include backlink analysis tools, manual inspection of your link profile, or identification of suspicious or low-quality links.
            Create Disavow File: Open a plain text editor (such as Notepad) and create a file. Each line in the file should contain either the URL or domain that you want to disavow. Use the "domain:" prefix to disavow an entire domain (e.g., "domain:example.com"). Save the file with a ".txt" extension (e.g., "disavow.txt").
            Submit the Disavow File to Google: Upload the disavow file to the Google Disavow Tool using the following link: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/disavow-links-main. Sign in with the Google account associated with your website.
            Select Your Website: Choose the website for which you want to disavow links.
            Upload the Disavow File: Click on the "Choose file" button and select the disavow file you created.
            Review and Submit Disavow File: Review the previewed disavow list to ensure its accuracy. If everything looks correct, click on the "Submit" button to submit the disavow file to Google.
            Monitor the Disavowed Links: Regularly monitor your website's link profile using Google Search Console or other SEO tools to ensure that the disavowed links no longer impact your website's search performance.

              Here are the steps to disavow links with Google Search Console:

              Log in to your Google Search Console account and select the website you want to disavow links for.

              Go to the "Links" tab under the "Search Traffic" section in the left-hand navigation menu.

              Click on "More" and select "Disavow Links."

              Click on "Disavow Links" again to confirm that you want to disavow links for your website.

              Upload a file containing the list of links you want to disavow. The file should be in plain text format (.txt) and should contain one URL per line.

              Once you have uploaded the file, click on the "Submit" button to complete the disavowal process.

              It's important to note that disavowing links should only be done as a last resort, and it's recommended that you first try to remove any bad links manually or by reaching out to the website owners. Additionally, it may take some time for Google to process your disavowal request and for any changes to take effect in your search engine rankings.

                  If you have a domain property in Google Console, you cannot submit a disavow file. However, you can contact Google's Search Console support team and ask them to manually review your disavow list. You can also create a new Google Console property that is specifically for disavowing domains and links.

                    Should I disavow these links?

                    backlinks toxicbacklinks audit backlinkaudit disavow

                    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:

                    1. Is this reason website's DA is not increasing 2. Is there wrong steps taken by me for this website. Well, I know there are many factors work in increasing DA but what is should do if these kind on links are not indexing in MOZ. I things these are one of the factors my DA is not Increasing. Please save my job guys. The company has sent me an ultimatum mail of 2 months that they will take back the projects from me. Please save my job.

                    How long will it take for google to reindex 301 redirected url and refresh search results with new urls.

                    We have set up 301 redirects for some subdomains which we are planning to use, but then we changed our focus to main domain. Google has already crawled some of the subdomain pages. As it was duplicate content over subdomains and main domain, we have set up 301 redirects for all subdomains to redirect to the main domain. We have set up 301 redirects a month ago, but some of the search results still show old URLs. Do you need something extra for google search results to refresh with main domain and remove subdomain URLs from google searches? We need rankings to be passed new URLs.

                    How to download full list of internal links properly with OSE?

                    Hi Moz Community, I am having issues getting a full list of my internal links when I go to the Open Site Explorer. When I export the internal links into excel, I am getting half of my URLs and 80% of what I am getting is absolutely crazy URLs that are super super old. Plus, these old URLs are not even showing in my campaign crawls. So the crawls themselves are different. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, since I am trying to get a full picture on the internal link structure of my site. Thanks!

                    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
