"These links all have no effect - they're from spammers dropping links into comments. These would not have any effect, positive nor negative, on your site.- John Mueller (@johnmu.com) January 18, 2026 at 3:25 AM"
"We would like to remove this unwanted anchor tag (porn) directing to our blog either you remove it completely and block the user & its IP for further creating more such links/ or change it to sperm cramps. For more details Kindly have a look at the below image."
"Google has long downplayed link spam as a waste of time to deal with. Google also said link spam doesn't work in forums and that you can generally ignore link spam."
Link spam placed in website comment sections does not affect search ranking or SEO, producing neither positive nor negative impact. Such links commonly originate from spambots dropping links into comments and are disregarded by search engines for ranking purposes. Site owners may still experience traffic changes despite disavowing links, suggesting other causes for traffic decline. Removing or blocking spam links can improve site quality and user experience, but it is generally not required for search performance. Search guidance has long treated comment link spam as ineffective and often recommends ignoring it for ranking purposes.
