I rarely tag all Google reps. BUT link spammers are destroying businesses in my niche. It's real & they're succeeding. You can't go public with this, they come after you. My own site has been attacked! Can someone reach out?

@lpoolcouncil.bsky.social Tree surgeons have shut down 2 lanes +hardshoulder at the end of the biggest motorway in the north west (M62), causing 2.5hr delays to drivers getting into Liverpool... so they can park their vans and work behind the metal barrier! Health & Safety stupidity!

Hey @johnmu.com this is one of my pages that got link spammed. I disavowed. I can stand tall and affirm that I don't get involved in this kind of thing, yet I have to take this hit to my traffic.
Will the page ever recover?
Is there some kind of limiter of dampener on my pages until these clear?

Lance Stroll drives for free, doesn't impact on cost cap. Dad's a billionaire, owns the company, why would he even need a salary?
Aston Martin get Christian Horner in
Horner eventually makes up with Verstappen and brings him in, reuniting them as the F1 holy trinity with Adrian Newey

@methode.bsky.social Why would we start buying hundreds of backlinks when the page worked "with little to no links" achieving these traffic peaks?
A: we didn't, livelihoods torn apart by spam!
You're so adamant negative SEO does not work, so Google clearly attributes these links to our site!

I need to migrate a Magento blog to Shopify, but first question is what platform?
✅Needs to be seamless, low maintenance, SEO friendly, fully integrated
❌Not Wordpress

Watching Root and Stokes bring back some stability to this England innings is quintessential English cricket. They'd love to go out and slap some baz-ball, but they both know they're the best at digging in and getting England out of the shit!

Hey @johnmu.com lets do this out of context, given what's been discussed already.
When we add domains to the disavow, i.e top up the list. Can I assume the new domains are treated separately as new additions.
You don't reprocess the whole thing?
