To my surprise, I found this:"" width="960" height="270"Overnight, the site became a hub for automated backlink building campaigns:"" width="1101" height="500"
In theory, these links shouldn’t have any impact on organic traffic and rankings — Google has publicly stated this many times — for example:
Having links even a large number of them pointing to your site with rel=nofollow will not negatively impact your site. We remove these links from our PageRank calculations.

Did the rankings for these keywords drop due to backlink spam?
What I did next
I prepared the rejection process .
Starting with the full backlink profile, I downloaded all the links.
The backlink profile analysis identified hundreds of domains. My approach to disavow was to disavow at the domain level. I prepared and uploaded a disavow file."" width="1053" height="437"
The performance is starting to pick up, and the average greece mobile database ranking is rising, especially for the referee keyword group, which is still on an upward trend today and has a better ranking, but it has not fully recovered yet.

The website suddenly has over 10,000 backlinks
Site ranking lost
Spam links all nofollow have been identified
A disavow file is created, uploaded, and continuously updated until backlink spam stops occurring
Rankings started to improve and are still recovering
