My website is getting too many backlinks. For example, I add my site to one directory(producthunt), and then 10 other directories that crawl that directory also add my site, and so on. Some sites don’t just add one link; for instance, they create a dedicated page for my site and then generate 100 comparison pages or similar content. As a result, I end up with 100 backlinks from a single site, which shows up on tools like SEMrush.

I get around 20-30 backlinks like this daily, but it seems this is negatively affecting me. What can I do about this? I’m not sure if manually removing them via the webmaster tool is a solution since removing 20-30 links daily isn’t feasible.

I’ve never done paid link building, but even if I spent money to get 10 links from high-quality sites (DA 30-40) from different sources, it probably wouldn’t solve this issue. What do you recommend?

You can still bulk disavow links through Google Search Console, right?
 
I havent seen this happen? Guess you should not have submitted to product hunt yet. Should wait until you have more backlinks so your domain is stronger. But its not your fault.
 
#1, you're building the links yourself, basically allowing them to be created,
You can simply stop if you believe it's negatively impacting your website, they're not valuable anyway,

#2, Any website could get attacked anytime, whenever by some random websites or by a competitor,
The only possible way to prevent such attack is to build enough authority & links, so these won't matter for the overall link profile,
Some people would recommend disavowing the links, but that doesn't work, it never worked for algo penalties & negative effects,
It could work for manual actions, but otherwise, it's simply a way to report certain websites to Google as "spammy"

Yeah Im thinking of get some guest posts etc from high da websites, let see
 
I would guess it has a neutral or positive SEO effect...

As those are ''niche relevant'' backlinks, even if your SaaS/Product is scraped from ProductHunt & auto-added to low DA/DR directories.
 
if its not dangerous in eyes of Google and Bing
then whatever third-party tool like semrush or ahrefs or anyother suggests is just a crap. Nothing bad will happen to your site.
 
Just ignore it, those links won't do anything to your ranking.
 
Just leave it untouched so Google can sort it on their own

If they're hurting your ranking you can disavow them manually and that's the only thing you can do sadly. But I don't think those links are dangerous for your ranking.
