What about black hat SEO?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

Good afternoon community.
For the last half a year, I noticed drawdowns of my site from the TOP-3 of Yandex to 10-15 positions. I attributed it to the fact that the site has not been updated for a long time, and the engine is old, and we don’t do promotions on purpose. But in recent months, for targeted queries, it began to fly to the second page, and sites created literally this year appeared in the TOP-3 (mine is 10 years old, a well-known brand in its niche). All 3 sites belong to the same "firm". Helped to understand, and found the cause.
Hundreds of links to the site that I did not buy were found in Yandex Webmaster and MegaIndex. Links are mainly from the HS, as well as sites in the category of intimate services and medical preparations. Moreover, the anchor everywhere is our main keyword, and the link is a landing one for the main keyword.
I read the Yandex FAQ about this - they advise you to contact site owners and ask them to remove links. There are hundreds of sites, constantly changing (links do not last more than 2-3 weeks). I wrote to Plato, waiting for an answer.
Who has experienced this? Did Plato help you? Did you somehow manage to overcome this matter, and how?
Thanks everyone for the replies in advance!

Answer 1

Hello.
In Yandex webmaster, you can block bad links, you can also create a file with these links and unsubscribe to Plato. This will remove bad links.
In general, this is now such a practice among search engines - they take fresh sites and put them in the top for a test, look at the indicators (better, worse than the old top or not). If not, then they throw them back, if they show well, then they put them in the top and so on.

Answer 2

Maybe, before looking for the guilty ones, analyze your site, whether it is interesting to users, what is there with the time of visit and the depth of viewing. And in general, judging by your message to the site, you scored a long time ago, but competitors are working, here's the result. Google analytics is connected, if so, what is there. If the site is selling, then pour it from the direct. In general, there is such a moment, HSs are created with links to many sites, you see them in the metric and click on these links, the site receives transitions and you God knows what))) You can drop it using more effective methods, most likely you have natural processes, not like you users - search engines - the universe

Answer 3

One Two Three

Answer 4

Webmaster support and Yandex Webmaster itself in the "Violations" section can report whether the site has problems with links or not. In the "Search queries" section, you can see the change in positions to make sure that there are real problems.

Answer 5

It happened when I worked for a large hosting company. You need to actively communicate with Yandex, block links. Positions will return over time. And to your well-wishers it is necessary to send a pativan for such deeds.
