Spammy Backlinks from Unknown Site - What Should I Do?

Hello everyone,

I recently found some strange backlinks to my website from a site called Uplinke.com. They are using spammy domains for their backlinks instead of their main domain. I have never heard of this site or interacted with any marketing agency before, so I am unsure why they are linking to me.

I have provided some examples of the backlinks below:

  • Enhance XXX SEO for better visibility on Uplinkedotcom
  • Elevate Your SEO with Guest Posts & Edits for XXX on Uplinkedotcom XXX
  • Seamlessly Integrate AI Automation for XXX on Uplinkedotcom XXX

It started with one backlink, and now there are five, with more likely to come. These links appear to be spam, and I am worried they could harm my site’s reputation and ranking. Has anyone else encountered this company? How do they expect this spam to attract customers?

I would appreciate any advice on how to handle this situation. Should I disavow these links, or is there a different approach I should take?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Disavowing the backlinks is a good first step. These links appear to be manipulative and could negatively impact your website’s ranking. It’s essential to remove any harmful links to maintain your site’s reputation and avoid penalties from search engines.

You can use Google Search Console’s Disavow tool to inform Google that you don’t want these links associated with your website. While disavowing links doesn’t remove them, it tells Google to ignore them when evaluating your site’s ranking.

Additionally, it’s crucial to investigate the source of these backlinks. Reach out to Uplinke.com to understand their motivation for linking to your website. If they are a legitimate business, they might be willing to remove the backlinks upon request. If they are a spam operation, they might ignore your request or provide a vague explanation.

Remember, maintaining a healthy backlink profile is crucial for SEO success. By promptly addressing these spammy backlinks and keeping a close eye on your website’s backlink activity, you can protect your site’s reputation and ranking.
