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 ?

Thank you for your Response .
As I have been through this article. i want to know that what aspect we should be checking while flagging a link as an spam?
-
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.

Do you think you've been hit with a penalty?

Internal Links - First Link Rule Confusion
Hello All - I would like to create a guide for my team of rules for internal links and I could use some help. My understanding is that Google only counts the first link to a page, so any crafted keyword text links within the content do not count if the page in question is linked to from the main navigation. Is this correct? For example, if the menu or drop down menu in main site nav (which exists on all pages of the site) includes a link to a particular section that will be the only one that ever counts since the menu is on every page? Example: let's say a website selling cat toys includes a drop down menu on the homepage with links to "holiday cat toys". Does this mean that no other text links in content on the site will support that page from an SEO perspective since the link is in the main nav and will always be the first one counted? In the past we have added text links in the content on the homepage to important pages on the site. It seems to work, though now I'm questing these tactics based on the first link rule. I would appreciate some advice, clarification, thoughts, etc. Thanks!

How to choose a third party agency to help with linking building / SEO strategy?
Hi all, we've not been link building for some time now as we are a small team and been concentrating on other things, such as getting our new look site built and implementing Magento etc. We've historically used external companies to help with link building & SEO... some experience has been good, some bad. Does any one have any suggestions on how a small company can try to choose a decent external company that can help with SEO strategies? There are a lot of options, a LOT of rubbish and a lot of very expensive large agencies that are well out side of our budget (or for a "small" fee simply produce a standardised report on "how to improve your SEO" that can basically be read on the net). We've tried local, smaller companies in order to limit our options .... but that didn't go well either. Any suggestions welcomed. Next is where / how to weight our expenditure and / or our SEO time. Should it be 50% gaining external links (be it by what ever means such as social, checking out where competitiors have links and chasing those possibilities etc) and then 50% internal page SEO, blog content creation, internal linking etc? Thanks again.

Do sites on the same c-block and same server count as seperate linking root domains when linking to each other?
Lets say there are 50 businesses who have their website on the same server and are on the same c-block but the owners of the individual sites are different (i.e. they are all completely different sites not relevant to each other). Each of those sites are linking to each other due to a feature on the sites. This obviously increases the number of total links to each site but does it also increase the number of linking root domains? Or does this just show up as one linking root domain due to all of them being on the same server and the sharing the same c-block?

Will No Follow Links count toward your root domain links for Domain Authority?
I am wondering if no follow links help, hurt, or do nothing when it comes to increasing page and domain authority? I know they are not supposed to pass rank and I have read discussions that some people suspect they still might, but I am wondering if I have a mix of follow plus no follow, will the no follow ones increase the count of the root domains linking to me and help boost my authority? Assuming of course the no follow links are coming from quality sites with high page and domain authority of their own. Thanks.

Link Directory
I am not an SEO expert by any means, just trying to improve the ranking of my own personal real estate site. Are directory links good for backlinks, or are they a waster of time?

Why doesn't the Better Business Bureau show up in my link analysis
I've been working on SEO for one of the companies I've designed a website for and I'm confused by the company's lack of Better Business Bureau backlinks. The Company in question does have a BBB account and that account links back to the company's website. However, when I check in the link analysis for the site, the BBB link doesn't appear. My competitors, on the other hand, do have BBB links in their analyses. So, I'm wondering if I somehow don't have the right type of BBB account. The BBB seems to be a pretty good place to have a link from, and the company pays $300.00 per year for the membership, so I'd like to get the most out of it. Here's a link to the BBB page for the company http://www.bbb.org/utah/business-reviews/plumbers/platinum-plumbing-services-in-west-jordan-ut-22199778#bbblogo And here's the company's website www.slcplumbing.com Now, the company site I've just listed is 301 redirected to www.platinumplumbinginc.com, but even when www.slcplumbing.com was the main site, the BBB backlink didn't show up. Thank you Blake
