      I unsure how my page got backlinked on this "passive DNS" website: http://pdns.daloo.de/search.php?alike=0&q=66.96.162.137

      This looks to be my only inbound link, so I am  worried this is negatively affecting my site ranking. Is this 56% spam score link negatively affecting my website? If so, any suggestions?

      Any feedback or insight would be greatly appreciated as I am very ignorant to what this person's webpage is about and why my page was linked..

      Sincerely,

      Hayden

        Sometimes when a business gets a domain name, yet it can comes attached with a lot of spam links sometimes.

        This could be because of previous businesses who owned it, may have built spam links to it, so you need to check this, because this can happen when some businesses buy a domain name. As your web designers, before you buy the domain, whether there's spam links leading to it?

          If you have spam backlinks coming to your website, it can negatively affect the business's organic SEO.

          In matter of fact, the business could receive a "Google penalty"

          Our demolition website had this problem, it had a lot of spam links, and the organic SEO was damaged.

              This happens to my site as well. There were nearly 2k spammy links that were created automatically and still not get resolved.

                  @Cashflo Trading : We actually just found this link in our backlink profile also when looking at our dofollow.. It does have a high spam score but it shouldn't hurt you if this is your only link. We're not worried about it. Please let me know how your disavow request goes..  find our email on: https://alchemyleads.com/seo-services/
