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.

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

Are you still disavowing links?
In light of the Penguin update a few months back, are you still disavowing links? Penguin is meant to now ignore spammy links, meaning that manual disavow via Search Console is not needed. However, the feature stills remains in Search Console, suggesting that it is still helpful (or have Google just not got around to removing it yet?) Be interesting to hear your thoughts.

When/ What Links to Disavow?
We have an older website started in 2000. We have thousands of backlinks which we believe are hurting us. Starting with Panda our site has been devastated, traffic wise, from a million + page views a month to 1/3 of that now. We've never solicited links, never paid for them, they just happened. It seems every "search engine" and spammy site on the web has links to us. Hundreds if not thousands from sites like , 29searchengines.com, 55 searchengines.net, and on and on.. 1. How does a site know when the links are harmful?

Link Building - Affiliate Link Programs
I'm getting some conflicting information when researching this... I want to create the most organic link building strategy that not only gets high authority sites linking to a website, but relevant websites. I'm creating an affiliate link program where I link to partner and affiliate companies, who in turn link back to me. The question is where to put these links. I was initially thinking of putting them in the footer so they add credibility to every page, and in turn ask my affiliates to do the same thing. However; some sources say that Google no longer looks at links in the footer section. Is it true that Google doesn't count links in footer sections? And do you have any tips on creating this Affiliate Link Program?

What are the pros and cons of using a link builder? Can link building be outsourced?
Hi, I have great content on my website which I would like to build external links to from other websites. I am told this will increase my domain authority and ultimately help search engine ranking positions. I have very limited time in my hands and now thinking of outsourcing the link building component to a specialist. Is this a good way of doing it? Could you recommend professional link builders?

Reciprocal Links Or One Way Links?
After reading a recent blog post on guest blogging and ways to build relationships for link building purposes, I began to wonder about something. It is my understanding that one way backlinks are superior to reciprocal linkage, but reciprocal is better than no link at all. So is it still worthwhile to do reciprocal guest blogging, and will the value of the links be worth it when completed? Or should we just be of the opinion that: One Way Link > Reciprocal > No link
