Is submitting a disavow list is helpful in link analysis
-
what aspect should be checking while submitting disavow link ?

Hi, I have the same experience with Portafina. It not only slowed down my speed, but also the performance.But disowning helped me a lot. Thanks

Remember, correlation does not equal causation.

Really, there's no way for MOZ or A HREFS to detect which domains you have put into a seperate disavow file that you've uploaded to google.
-
but it did increase in my case

I dont believe such a thing that when you update a Google Disavow, your DA suddenly increases.

Thank you for your response
You covered all my queries regarding Disavow list. same my company also hired a seo agency that left a lot of Sammy links that hurt the ranking as obvious.
While flagging a URL as a Spam what aspects should I consider ?

no,but last time when i submitted disavow list it helped me in increasing my Domain Authority. and previously my company hired a seo agency to do the work. so we eventually have a lot of Sammy links

Interesting case. I do have a website thats more then 10 years old and which belongs to one of my clients. He got struck by the typical wordpress comment spam, in short there where over 50k of comment links found in barely months, and that counter is still going up since google is'nt so fast in crawling half of the internet (yet).
It is true that google pretty much senses if something evil or phishy is going on. I was suprised that even with 10k of follow links with the worst (same) anchor all over the place left the ranking(s) pretty much in tact. But there's good tools like https://websiteseochecker.com/extract-url-to-domain/#arearesult for example where you could cram in dozen of links and simply get ONE url out of it instead of weaving through a thousands of URL's manually.
This made it pretty easy to finally cram all those links in disavow. Yes some do hurt; usually after a half day when i submitted a disavow list rankings became a bit better. But if your spammed with low quality keywords, pages and all that, and you did'nt had anything with it or it was the 'leftover' from another SEO company, it's good to manually put these in disavow and measure the performance of your website. Sometimes it can take up to 2 weeks even, so have a bit of patient.

Google has an easy-to-read article for you about when and how to disavow links.
https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2648487?hl=en
In short, rarely do you ever need to disavow links, even if they're spammy. They have smart analysis built-in to detect whether a spammy link is just spam or if it is the result of unethical SEO practices trying to game the system, otherwise known as "black hat SEO". In the case that they detect or suspect unethical backlinking, you will be hit with a "manual action". You can check for these, as well as disavow links, in the Google Search Console.

What are the SEO value of revolving or rotating lists of links?
What are the SEO value of revolving or rotating lists of links? For example the links at the bottom of the homepage of inlandnwopera.com. The links are based in images and I am not really sure Google would pick them up but they do appear on ahrefs.com. Thank you.

Please help me find unnatural links
My URL is: http://bit.ly/hBJAG4 Just been hit with an unnatural imbound links penalty and don't know what to do. I haven't done any link building work for the last 3 years other then creating an infographic at Christmas that was incredibly popular: http://bit.ly/14lao4G I have 0 paid links and I have never spammed a blog or forum. The only thing I can think of is back in 2006/2007 I was directory crazy - I got listed in all of the (what I thought at the time) were good quality paid directories - could this have come back to haunt me? Why do you think I have just been penalized now when these directory links have been there for years? Should I start getting rid of the directory links? - they did cost me a lot of cash. Can any of you spot any other links that could be seen as unnatural? Thanks to anyone who can help in advance

Linking Root Domains V.s Total Links
When analysing a company's inbound links, what is more important to note: The number of linking root domains, or the total number of links? And why?

Too many external links vs linking root domains - good or bad?
Hi guys, After the latest Linkscape update, we noticed that our website have 424,671 external links with 4,395 linking root domains, so roughly 100 links/domain. Does Google consider this to be a negative thing or we do not need to worry about it. Many thanks. David

Many competitor's backlinks are in content anchor links. Ho do I get these same links?
Hi I managed to open up OSE. I'm finding that much of the competition's backlinks are in content anchor text links. Am I supposed to get backlinks from these same pages using the same anchor text but linking back to my page or is that allowed? If so, how do I get these in content blog post links? Thanks. Sunil.

Panda Update: Isn't a link still a link?
I was doing some link building and some SEO's said that the Panda update affected many websites. I am going to use eZineArticles.com as my example. EzineArticles was affected by the Panda update and does not show up in the SERPs as much as before. But they still have doFollow Links coming from the articles I am submitting. QUESTION: Regardless if EzineArticles was affected by the Panda Update, isn't a "Follow Link" still a "Follow Link" OR am I completely wasting my time on this devalued website? Edit: Yes I know a PR 0 page is not as valuable as a PR 9 page. I am asking from the standpoint of the affected Panda Update domains overall.
