    Rank Math free

    Hi,

    For quite some time I am observing that thousands of backlink get generated and all those get listed under google search console under 404 Not Found. I have discussed the same with many SEO developers and come to know that this due to SEO plugin i.e. Rankmath. Could you please suggest how to get rid of this issue. Attached is the screenshot of my google search console.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Any SEO plugin won’t generate any spam backlinks. Moreover, the good thing is that they return a status 404. If it is international search spam then it is also good because the spammers are not able to index their not existing pages. So, I won’t worry too much about it.

    There are few steps you can follow:
    1. Find where those toxic links are coming from.
    2. Email the domain owner about it.
    3. Add disvow links

    I would recommend going through these URLs:
