Hello,

in the last few months my position on google search dropped from 1st page to ... well I checked first 20 pages and I didn't found myself.

Finally I ran the report on some seo program for backlinks and I got this:
[MODERATED]

I am just shocked.
My site is linked on some forum posts that have a nude pictures of ... look at the picture. And there is tons of links to my site from these pages.
Yes, my forum got spammed with that too ... I didn't cared about my page for a few months, then I just deleted spam, setup protection and moved on, but the links still exists on those sites.

Is there any hope for me? :confused:

    I suggest you not to remove all the backlinks at once, it can be harmful for your site. First analyze and identify the bad spammy, low quality links and then remove them with google disavow or you can also ask them to take those links down by contacting them through email.

      I suggest you read the thread before posting this. Clearly this guys links are low quality and aren't helping at all. Good lord.

      To the original poster you will need to remove the links and doing so can be tricky with exotic international TLDs.

      I would suggest using a professional link removal service like linkdelete, they will take care of all the link removals for you and do a good job.

      Or you can try and do it yourself. Be sure to document the whole process in case you receive a manual penalty. That way you can prove to Google the work you've done on link cleanup.

    Well, I started contacting the owners and hosting companies.
    In most cases they thank me and suspend the hosting account.

    Maybe my report (of backlinks) will be different after a half year.

      You should be checking your links with tools besides webmaster tools. GWMT only shows a very small % of a backlink profile. Chances are there are thousands of links you aren't aware of.

    Get a new domain, port the content over to the new site and start again.
