Porn Links to my website (Problem)

[leit]

Hello, using some tools such as Ahrefs and Semrush, I have noticed in recent weeks I have a lot of porn links that point to my website, when you click on the link it makes a type of redirection.

The links look like this:

mypageweb.com/_media_/(include any porn-related crap)

There are about 165 backlinks, these porn links and anchors do not appear in the search console.

Could this affect my page ?, My site is growing very well and I want to sell it in the future, if a future buyer sees this, I think he will not buy it.

Any advice?

Note: What I did so far is to reject some domains where these links are placed in the search console

Disavow the links, that's the best bet right now...

If you didn't build these spam links you can just ignore - you should only disavow links that you are responsible for. (See : John Mueller's webmaster hangout)

It's better to disavow those links.

Do they link to made up / non-existing page on your website?

If so, make sure the final destination is a proper 404 page or some dummy noindex page.

Avoid automatically redirecting all 404s to homepage or other live page that could be trouble.

this is a good advice it’s interesting your rankings didn’t drop how did that happen normally rankings would have dropped but I’m glad in your case it’s going strong

Disavow those links. Generally, pages tend to rank lower with such crap links pointing towards homepage.

Just Disavow the links

Yes, it links to a non-existent page, I will do what you are saying. Thanks for the advice.

And thanks to everyone, I am currently rejecting those links.

I just did that, and the shit is no longer redirected, ufff what a relief, I hope they appear as lost links over time, luckily in the google console they don't show up.

According to I read, Google ignores this type of links, but I like to be on the safe side.

Yes, they do in most cases.

I know they do on my sites or otherwise I'd be screwed

Disavow those links. Its better.

It's not better many times and in this case it's not even necessary.

In a perfect word we'd like to think that Google ignores low level spammy links, but I can tell you from testing they don't. What I've found is, if you have a high number of spammy links overall (in relationship to total number of links). The higher ratio of spam links, the greater risk of your website getting hammered. May not happen tomorrow or next week, but they will get you. And the majority of the time it's algorithmic, so you're left scratching your head. This is especially true from the page level. This is why negative SEO still works.

Also, I'm not a huge fan of Disavowing links, because I don't like having unnecessary eyeballs on my sites. I haven't used the disavow file in probably 5 years, mostly due to the fact that I don't build a lot spammy links. That and I stay away from sketchy niches. What I can tell you as a guy who does a ton of rep suppression...the lower authority/less aged a website is, the easier it is to make it go away. I'm not going to incriminate myself by elaborating, but let's just say, negative SEO is still alive and well.

Therefore, while it's not a bad idea to be proactive, if you simply continue to build higher quality links, it usually isn't an issue. Those links will drown out the noise, so to speak. Even if Google ignores them, or devalues them, you still have a solid foundation of links in your link profile. It also sounds like a lot of the links you've discovered will go away on their own or not even index in the first place. Just my 2 cents.
