I
always request to you that focus on quality backlinks. If you have some bad
backlinks pointing to your site, then you should remove these backlinks asap. But,
now question arises how do you find or identify the bad links? Backlinks which
are coming from-
- very new domains
- pages with a big
number of outbound links
- Any sites which is
penalized by Google
- PR-n/a or PR0
sites
- domains with
little traffic
- Different niche
If
you find these types in your webmaster tool, you should remove them.
You
can ask Google not to count these links when assessing your website. This is
very advanced feature offered by Google but it should be used with caution. If
you will use this feature incorrectly, then it will harm the performance of
your website in SERP. Disavow only those
links which can harm your site’s performance.
Disavow Backlinks
First
of all you have to download all the links to your site then identify bad links
among all links and create a .txt file containing only bad links.
Download links
Select the
site from the Webmaster Tools home page.
Click
on Search Traffic and then choose
Links to Your Site. Download a
file which contains all the links pointing to your website. Now, create a notepad file of badlinks- one
link in one line. Make sure that file type should be .txt and encoding system
should be UTF-8. If you want to disavow entire domain then use domain: site
url. Suppose you want to disavow xyz.com then write domain: xyz.com in your
file. If you want to add some comment then you can use "#", all lines
beginning with # will be ignored.
Example
Here's
a sample of a valid file:
# Site xyz.com did not
remove all links
http://spam. xyz.com/comments.html
http://spam. xyz.com/paid-links.html
# Try to contact the
admin of paidseo.com but did not get any response
domain: paidseo.com (it
will disavow whole domain)
Line
1 and 2 of the file will disavow only mentioned links but line 3 starting from
domain will disavow whole domain.
Upload process
1.
Go
to the disavow tool from Google.
2.
Choose
your website.
3.
Click
on Disavow links.
4.
Upload
file
Note: Adding or uploading a new file will replace all previously uploaded files
for the disavow.
These
links will still show in the WMT link portion.
