Website got bombarded with spammy nofollow links – do I need to do anything?

Hey! You did the right thing by checking the link profile and confirming they’re nofollow.

If all those spammy links are truly nofollow and coming from low-quality or auto-generated sites (like those “seo-anomaly-…” ones), you don’t need to worry or disavow them. Google’s systems are *very* good at ignoring this kind of junk these days.

Here’s a quick rundown of what you can do just to be safe:

– Don’t disavow unless necessary. Disavow files are meant for situations where you’ve got a ton of spammy *dofollow* links pointing to your site *and* you see a clear ranking impact. Otherwise, it’s overkill.

– Monitor in Search Console. Keep an eye on your “Links” and “Manual Actions” reports if Google detects anything harmful, you’ll know right away.

– Watch for patterns. If those domains keep multiplying or start linking to other pages aggressively, you can note them down and disavow later, but that’s usually rare.

– Stay focused on quality signals. Keep building legitimate backlinks and improving content, Google will easily distinguish real authority from spammy noise.

So yeah, nofollow spam links means nothing to worry about. You can safely ignore them unless they become dofollow or cause visibility changes.

Ignore.

Some time ago you might should report it on the disavow tool located on Google Search Console.
But it doesn’t really affect you, so just ignore it (and always monitor the incoming spammy links).

Probably not, if it becomes a problem you can disavow but usually it can be ignored.

I’d leave it alone.
