Why Google Disavow Links Tool?

This tool is launched to get rid of those spammy and unwanted links which you made intentionally or unintentionally. There might be some websites where you commented after seeing the high PageRank of website or the page itself but after some time you found that the link were not relevant to your sites and that was a spammy link. As there were thousands of people like you who commented on that post just for getting backlinks.

I myself is also one of the victim because I hired one of the guy form Fiverr to get too many backlinks. But soon I realized that I did something wrong as my traffic was very much dropped. Then after reading too many articles and discussing with some PRO Bloggers I got to know that the links I purchased from Fiverr were not good.

After hearing this I was stunned as I couldn’t do anything with that. I couldn’t remove all the links and further I couldn’t contact each and every webmaster to remove the backlinks.

So you can understand my happiness after Google Disavow Links Tool launch, because I can remove all my spammy links with very ease now. icon smile Remove Unwanted and Spammy Links with Google Disavow Links Tool

What Matt Cutts says about Google Disavow Links Tool

Disavowing Links

Cutts warned that the tool should be used with caution. He also warned that publishers should first try to remove links they are concerned about pointing at them by first working with site owners hosting links or with companies they may have purchased links through.

The format will be to list URLs in a text file, either individually or to exclude all links from a particular site using domain: format like this:

domain:google.com

domain:yahoo.com

domain:facebook.com

Both formats can be mixed into a single file, as shown below in an example from Google’s blog post about the new tool:

From the blog post:

In this example, lines that begin with a pound sign (#) are considered comments and Google ignores them

The “domain:” keyword indicates that you’d like to disavow links from all pages on a particular site (in this case, “spamdomain1.com”).

You can also request to disavow links on specific pages (in this case, three individual pages on spamdomain2.com).

Once you’ve created your file, you then access the disavow link tool through Google Webmaster Central. You’ll select your site (as the screenshot at the top of this story shows), go through warnings, then select your file and submit:

The Discussion

    I am hoping that people do not make use of this tool that much.

    All this says in my experience is that Google aren’t as sophisticated as they tell you they are and don’t be capable of identify link spam at an algorithmic level so have enrolled the help of webmasters all over the world.

    Here is why I feel it isn’t good news for SEO in general http://www.matthewwoodward.co.uk/tips/why-google-disavow-is-bad-news-for-seo/

  2. Now we can be free from negative SEO. Recently many of us got a message about unnatural linking from GWT. And many started cashing for removing links from their spam sites.

    Thanks again to Google, for such wonderful tool.
