I'm getting neg-SEO-ed and have a request

[Android Tipster]

My site's traffic was steadily growing, but it's now declining steadily.



I've been investigating what's causing this and found that all my best-performing pages have toxic links pointing at them.

I'm not in a position to invest in Semrush right now, and was hoping I could plead my case here for someone to send me a list of these toxic links so I can upload them for disavowing.

If anyone could help me with this request, it could really help.

The trial has certain limitations because they know people would sign up and quit once they get what they want.

We have to buy 1 month membership before 7 days trial right?

Gave it a try, but it only shows me about 10% of the total links. Thanks though

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.


Still hoping that someone with Semrush can help.

Didn't u use the resource given to u to do a superficial hypothesis at least?

The tools recommended here are showing only about 170 domains while Semrush 14K spammy links. This is why I need it.

Are you sure your site is dropping because of backlinks? From the diagram it looks to me like you haven't paid attention on your site since November.

I guess someone has just taken all of your content and published it on another site - duplicate content.

Use GSC to download the links Google sees if you won't spare $1 verification for the Semrush trial.

You should check for manual penalties and external links in GSC. If the spam is of low quality, it disappears within a short span. You only need to worry about spammy links that look like a PBN. If GSC shows these links, you can disavow them.

I gave the trial a go, but it doesn't allow for the export function unless one upgrades to the pro first. Unfortunately, all other tools are showing only a limited number of backlnks.

Another thing that I have noted is that most of these spammy links redirect to websites offering backlink services.

Semrush: That's strange. I always sign-up for the Guru trial through bloggerspassion and can export whatever data I want. Give it a try from a clean IP, email and credit card.

Spammy links: How can these redirect to other sites when pointing to your site? These are just junk links to be ignored. These links might impress you because of high DR but well, this is how ahrefs works ...

Strange, it still won't let me even after signing up afresh with new details, including the ip. Thanks anyways

NO. Although I must have tried on one but it failed

Google often ignores junk links on its own. If rankings drop hard then use free tools and manual checks before disavow.

yea, I tried that, but the free ones only show a limited number of links. I've decided to have those disavowed and will see what happens.

Meanwhile, would you know how long it usually takes for changes to start taking effect?

Usually you can start seeing some movement in a few weeks. Google can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks to recrawl and process disavows

Dont expect overnight jumps but if links were the main issue you should see slow recovery
