    [SEO] Your opinion about disavow file

    What is your opinion about disavow file, and your experience with this. Google and Bing (they have this feature in their Webmaster Tools too.

    Did you get any results, good or bad, after adding it, did it make any difference at all? Are disavowed links treated like nofollow links, 100%?

    As far as I know they process these files, but they are not a strong signal in their algorithms, thats why it is not showing any immediate results in something like Google Analytics, traffic from Google and Bing, lets say.

    Thanks.

    It's only useful when you have a link penalty, and I've had a few, and even then you have to get a susbtantial number of links taken down, document everything and write a "I'm sorry promise it won't happen again" covering letter.

    Stuff in a disavow does eventually disapper from the Webmaster Tools but it takes a long time; so long I can't even remember but I think it was 6 months to a year.

    Disclaimer: Every site and market is different though, I have no experience of link building in adult and I'd be interested to hear other opinions.

      its like saying, yes google please forgive me, i have made hude mistake and paid some indian guy on fiverr and bought 20 million incoming links.

      keep building links from authority sites., do you think big sites care about this so called disavow tool

      in short you are accepting the fact , that you did something wrong with your seo.

          I don't have experience about it, but I don't think that it is some magic tool with what you can mess everything up, and then just disavow and expect everything to be just fine. More like some damage repair than making it all OK.

          So in other words: worth using if you have got into troubles. What you have to lose anyways, it is their tool, I am quite sure there is no penalty in using it. But usually it is best to avoid the troubles beforehand.

          Also, it is not "forgive me tool", at least in the eyes of Google. You can use it against negative SEO too.

            If it does pretty much nothing, and a lot of people say this, this is what it pretty much might be... Some sort of way for them to collect data about low quality websites, and it does not make a difference, whether a file is in place or done correctly, or not.

            They may be saying, it does this, this, and that, but in fact, it does nothing, and it is just a way for them to gather data from people, who upload these files.

              Congrats, you just did Googles dirty work by reporting sites and you didn't even got paid for it.

                I've had people threaten me with a disavow if I don't remove links to them.

                  Some clients require disavow and it's an incredibly painful, expensive and boring procedure.

                  I hate doing it, even though it pays well. Does it actually work? Yes, it does.

                    Do you use any paid or free tools (I am not sure if there are any that are free), and do you normally try to contact all bad websites, and try to delete links from there? As far as I know, this is how it should be done.

                    My way of doing it:

                    - get links data from all possible places
                    - run it through CognitiveSeo.com (paid)
                    - contact bad websites up to three times, in order to delete the bad links
                    - submit a disavow file to Goole and Bing

                    Is this ok?

                    Thanks.
