Hey

You can disavow backlinks through GSC (Google Search Console) although we have a guide that does touch on toxic backlinks which may be helpful

Although Google now recognises spammy backlinks and understands that you're not trying to be malicious, although we always keep a close eye on rankings as too many can have a negative affect

Hey @viveklazy

Being new to SEO can be hard, we have compiled a complete guide to backlinks with other tools you could use within the guide too

@pau4ner Thanks!

@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!

@gpainter Hi, thank you for the help!

I have swapped to Rank Math now as I think it is a better tool so the cause will not have been a conflict with Yoast.

This isn't a client we do too much work for, they simply reach out when they would like some help with something like this issue.

Perhaps I will propose that we optimize their site content.

Thanks again!

Hi all,

I am wondering if you can help – I have a client using Yoast for their Meta descriptions and each is filled in and unique, but when searching ‘ski magic’ on Google, the page with linked pages under all but one show the same meta description? I am hoping you can see the issue in the image below

Hi,

As I see it, Pinterest is a search engine. Does anyone have any tips on maximizing reach? Are there any resources that will help?

Thanks in advance

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.

Hi,  it looks clean, although there is a lot of text TLDR. SO maybe consider having clear to the point messages and they can link to a detailed page with a deeper understanding.

Also, make sure things are aligned. For example the footer.  It's a trust factor.

Does that help?
