Not sure if it’s just me, but Ahrefs reports are getting flooded with fake-looking referring pages lately – mostly these “seo-anomaly” subdomains that link out to 2,000+ sites each. Total junk.
I saw Charles Floate mention this on X too, so it’s not isolated. What’s strange is they don’t show up in GSC or SEMrush – just Ahrefs. But it’s messing with RD counts and making audits way harder, especially on a page level.
Anyone figured out a good way to filter these out or flag them during reporting? Or are we waiting for Ahrefs to clean it up?
Curious how others are handling this – it’s making backlink audits a pain right now.
