Can some one help me find this Matt Cutts article on disavows?

Hey everyone. A while ago, I remember reading that Matt Cutts said that you can just disavow domains, and that the Google Webmaster Tools team doesn't read for comments (like if webmasters had been reached out to).

Is this ringing any bells? I'm trying to find this tidbit again.

Thanks!
Charles

Hi Charles,

I didn't find article on disavow. I think you are looking for this video where he mentioned disavow domains.

Here's Google's page regarding the use of the tool: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2648487 and it contains this, "If you want Google to ignore all links from an entire domain (like example.com), add the line "domain:example.com". And this, "Your text file can include additional information about excluded links, as long as each line of description begins with the "#" character (all lines beginning with # will be ignored)."

I think you might have misinterpreted "ignore" in their description. They're talking about the machine processing the file and that it will ignore the lines of code with # as they are tagged as comments for people to read.  The team could still read the comments if they choose to.  Cheers!
