Disavow links

hi matt whats going on??

You seem quite heated. I'm guessing your business has been hit?

Probably not, if this link got you to the top 3 in the first place.

Good links that are in accordance with Google's guidelines. "His" search results now favor pages that lean to Google's benefit but NOT the actual search words.

I believe this is a "canned" speech to lead people away from what's actually happening, and what Google's real agenda is. They are targeting legitimate sites that make too much revenue from Google's AdSense, but are masking the crusade with "junk" links. Many examples show sites found in a search favor GOOGLE, but do NOT contain any of the search words! I think everyone's being had, but afraid to speak up.

Is it possible to do a wildcard submission to the disavow tool? A company is engaged in an aggressive anti-SEO campaign against us using key-word.somesite(dotcom) that paychecks.finderquick(dotcom) fast-cash.finderquick(dotcom) they have dozens of them and just keep setting up new ones. is it possible to do a wildcard, like %finderquick(dotcom) ?

When spammy links are pointed to your website it looks bad to Google and as we saw recently Penguin punished these sites. Now if all links were disavowed by default and webmasters approved them in webmasters tools it would make more sense, your competitors could not damage your sites reputation by pointing bad links to it, this way!

in soviet russia mom and pop disavows you

Baseem is hilarious in his statement that this shit does not work, unfortunately most of the SHIT these people talk about is Fraud and Bull to trick people into buying their SHIT! lets face it the INTERNET is a Magnet for suckers, I have been F_ _ked more times on-line than at the whorehouse....at least at the whorehouse you get what you paid for.

PS I am NO F- -KInG robot, just an annoyed consumer, Google and Matt Cutler should clean up their act

The disavow tool is such a relief. We've been helping our clients clean up their links and are having WAY BETTER RESULTS with the help of the disavow tool.

Anyone seen this disavow button somewhere? This Clown [Cutts] is a joker.

Where's disavow button to Cutts?

It's not a button! You can find more about it on Google Webmaster Tools, including instructions on how to use it. You may think Matt Cutts is a joker, but that joker is in charge of Google webspam.

Don't waste space with your comments.

Thanks Matt. These videos are always great and very informative. I'm going to be using this tool in the next few hours, so I just wanted to do a bit more research into it. Thank you for providing excellent webmaster tools. Have a great day, Luke Moore.

how long do I need to wait after submitting a disavow to request a reconsideration? Please help

I am the owner of a young domain and was doing pretty good with NO SEO at all but suddenly I found raking going very bad. I hired an SEO guy that told me I had bought backlinks but I DID not! Hopefully this tool helps me clear this mess. Thanks Google.

Just finished watching the video ... Matt or anyone else. If I suspect a competitor bought some very cheap links to my website that affected it negatively, should I use this tool or not? Thanks.

aboveallhouseplansDOTcom how do I know if I'm penalized? and what for? My traffic per day is 1/8th of what is was Mar 2012

I've read that the Disavow will have no effect until the next Penguin is released.

how can you Disavow links how we would know which ones are good and which ones are not ??

what if you did not receive any messages that says back-links

My company site was spam bombed with over 32,000 Cialis backlinks, completely knocking me off Google. Of course, I can't ask the spammer to remove the links, so I assume the disavow is a good option for me, correct? Is there any other way? Also, what happens when Google sees that many disavow listings?

Please add Russian language in Captions. Thanks.

Hi Matt,

i need some help concerning disavow links. Due to editorial reasons, we linked to another website. Now the problem is, that the website operator is disturbing me and telling me to delete this link.
However, due to staffing reasons it is not possible for us to edit or remove links all the time and this is why I declined his request. 
Now the website operator wants to use the Disavow tool for this link and claims that this would have consequences for our website, more specifcally for our ranking. Now im asking myself if this is true.

I would be thankful, if you could help me out with my little problem here.
Thank you very much and greetings from Germany.

Sincerely yours
Flo

Matt, who is this 'random person' looking at my backlinks? This person could only be G or an SEO. Why should I care what this random person or competitor think about my backlinks?
Do your managers not allow you to talk straight with us by sharing the REAL reason G is applying penalties/filters rather than simply ignoring the links you don't approve of as you did before?

I have 1,621,228 incomming links from various websites, because I had created a plugin back in 2011, which contains a backlink to my website, because of that my site ranking and visitors dropped to 45%. I am not sure how  to recover from this panda impact, can't ask all those webmasters to remove my link. I tried updating the program with nofollow link, but they do not update their plugins, not sure If I should disavow all those domains...  Instead of releasing such tools, why not program algorithm to just ignore low quality links so that the original content gets more exposure than duplicate shared contents.

I had some issues with bad back links in may 2012. I followed all the advice of google and over the next year and a half saw my traffic go up. Then on oct 5 the new algo update eliminated nearly all my existing traffic. I've been working to find answers for months on the webmaster forum. Not one of those geniuses suggested I tried this. Their advice was to just build an entirely new site. I never received an unnatural backlink notice either. I used some tools and they showed I had "clean" back links. I finally stumbled upon this and used it. I know Matt says it's not to use this unless you're a really spammy site or have employed lots of back link schemes. For 12 years I hadn't employed any SEO until I hired a "consultant. I hadn't since the hit in 2012. Not sure why this happened but it appears that 2.1 was the culprit. So fingers crossed. Next step. Start over.

good information and advice

Realy very good information for us

To me it looks like this diavow thing is a big scam of Google to get people to give them loads of free information about potential spam sites. It doesnt seem to help anything for the users who need it to work to give them back their precious serp rankings.

For now it seems only to work if one received a manual penalty. During the last months i used it for different sites of customers who where penalized (nt manual) by bad-seo in the past. We did everything Matt Cutts / Google tell to do; clean up bad links, use the disavow tool, create a website with new, relevant content on a regular basis etc Diffirent tools I use rate those sites now as having a "good looking link profile", but i see not a minimum of effect on the important rankings, where the businesses of my customers are depending on.

Offcourse there is no way to communicate with Google, in there ivory tower, about this problems and complete businesses loose a lot of money by this situation. Businesses who pay a lot of money to Google with different Google advertising options.

disavow tool not help for me.  but i remove lot of toxic links.  and we have to wait the next penguin refresh .  complicated.

What if other competitors check my backlinks, then disavow my high quality links?? its possible?? for example: i have a high quality backlinks from edu link, then some of my competitor checking source of my backlinks and found it then disavow that links.

Why google doesn't do a better algorithm? Instead of disavowing links, building an "accepting link tool" would be much better, so the spammers and competitors can not harm other people's websites. And also, only penalize the websites which have spammy links, 

I really wish google would just roll back penguin and panda!  This has caused more damage than good.  If you provide a disavow tool, why not allow an un-disavow tool for us mom and pops, as you call it, who make errors in fixing YOUR idea of a link problem.  Amazon, Ebay, Wiki can do no wrong and are at the top of many niches although they are nothing more than a paid link farm. I just don't get it!

All of this disavow tool bs is exactly that. BS.
Google acts like they think that the majority of those people with bad links and are complaining about it, are people who have put themselves in that position, and they act like negative SEO isn't a big thing.
Come on Matt, nobody likes to admit when they are wrong but it is very commonplace these days for people to spam crappy links at their competitors, and all that Google gives us to deal with it is this??

Everybody on here that mentioned that instead of a dis-avow tool, an avow tool would be much better, is right. Win-win situation right?

Matt Cutts is the king of the $10 dollar polo.

I think having all back links disavowed by default, and then having the option to avow them would be more effective.

Thanks matt

This tool causes massive confusion in the SEO community. A lot of "experts" are basically using it to remove spam links from bad neighborhoods, but clearly that is not the intended purpose. Also, removing spam links manually in this fashion could quickly get very tedious. Google has stated multiple times, that they are able to identify most spam links, so you do normally not have to do anything.

Its really fun to watch King of Internet in such a chilax way of communicating..👑✌

My site got hacked with a weird page creation script that created a boatload of garbage inbound links. All the bogus pages have been killed on my site. The funky scripts have also been removed. My site authority has been killed due to all this bad activity. Is disavow tool what I should use?
