Identify Problematic Links: Use various tools and techniques to identify the links that you want to disavow. These may include backlink analysis tools, manual inspection of your link profile, or identification of suspicious or low-quality links.
Create Disavow File: Open a plain text editor (such as Notepad) and create a file. Each line in the file should contain either the URL or domain that you want to disavow. Use the "domain:" prefix to disavow an entire domain (e.g., "domain:example.com"). Save the file with a ".txt" extension (e.g., "disavow.txt").
Submit the Disavow File to Google: Upload the disavow file to the Google Disavow Tool using the following link: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/disavow-links-main. Sign in with the Google account associated with your website.
Select Your Website: Choose the website for which you want to disavow links.
Upload the Disavow File: Click on the "Choose file" button and select the disavow file you created.
Review and Submit Disavow File: Review the previewed disavow list to ensure its accuracy. If everything looks correct, click on the "Submit" button to submit the disavow file to Google.
Monitor the Disavowed Links: Regularly monitor your website's link profile using Google Search Console or other SEO tools to ensure that the disavowed links no longer impact your website's search performance. -
Here are the steps to disavow links with Google Search Console:
Log in to your Google Search Console account and select the website you want to disavow links for.
Go to the "Links" tab under the "Search Traffic" section in the left-hand navigation menu.
Click on "More" and select "Disavow Links."
Click on "Disavow Links" again to confirm that you want to disavow links for your website.
Upload a file containing the list of links you want to disavow. The file should be in plain text format (.txt) and should contain one URL per line.
Once you have uploaded the file, click on the "Submit" button to complete the disavowal process.
It's important to note that disavowing links should only be done as a last resort, and it's recommended that you first try to remove any bad links manually or by reaching out to the website owners. Additionally, it may take some time for Google to process your disavowal request and for any changes to take effect in your search engine rankings.

Hi @Ryka1234 If you want to submit disavow link to google disavow tool you just visit on https://search.google.com/search-console/disavow-links and select you property and submit you disavow.txt file.
-
If you have a domain property in Google Console, you cannot submit a disavow file. However, you can contact Google's Search Console support team and ask them to manually review your disavow list. You can also create a new Google Console property that is specifically for disavowing domains and links.

Moz's new Link Explorer, including our revamped index and DA/PA scores is now open to everyone!
Hey Moz Community, Link Explorer is now open to the public! Everyone can access it via a subscription or a free Moz ‘Community’ account. As you may know by now, the brand-new Link Explorer tool is primed to replace Open Site Explorer as Moz’s link building and analysis tool. The Link Explorer project is the result of an incredible amount of perseverance and hard work by the team, and we’re proud to be able to finally share it with you — we know it’s going to revolutionize how you approach link building and make your job easier. You can read more about the tool here in Sarah Bird’s announcement post. Because Link Explorer improves on almost every aspect of Open Site Explorer, the metrics have improved, too. That means you’re likely going to see some Domain Authority and Page Authority discrepancies between OSE’s index and Link Explorer’s index. We definitely suggest you use the new DA/PA from Link Explorer, as they’re more accurate and refresh daily rather than monthly, as was the case with OSE’s index. However, we also realize that many of you use these metrics to report to your clients and colleagues, and a sudden change or fluctuation could potentially make your job harder. Which DA is the real DA? The new DA is based on a much larger index that has many improvements, several of which are designed to make the index more like Google’s than ever before. You should consider moving towards the new DA (and the old DA won’t be updated after April 26th 2018, so the sooner the better). While there will be fluctuations as we improve the model and add features to the index, we expect it to remain largely stable and to be a far more accurate picture of a site’s authority according to how it’s seen by Google. Why is Link Explorer’s DA/PA considered better than OSE’s, and which should I trust? The larger link index with improved crawl selection allows us to produce a stronger model that includes a much larger proportion of the web. That being said, DA and PA should always be considered in the context of your competitors. A drop in PA or DA relative to the old OSE is of little concern if your competitors saw similar movement. Is Domain Authority/Page Authority an absolute score or a relative one? Both DA and PA are relative to the Internet as a whole. If Facebook acquired a billion new links, everyone’s PA and DA would drop relative to Facebook. Because of this, it’s always best to look at PA and DA in comparison to your competitors. What does a drop/raise in DA mean in Link Explorer vs OSE? How can I explain this to my clients when I’m reporting it? DA and PA should always be considered in the context of your competitors. A drop or raise in PA or DA relative to the old OSE is of little concern if your competitors saw similar movement. Reporting that your site has moved from a DA of 45 to a DA of 42 doesn’t tell the whole story, but reporting that your site has a DA of 42 while your main competitor moved from a 43 to a 37 shows that, relative to the sites you’re competing against in the SERPs, your site has significantly more authority and ranking power. What’s happening to MozTrust and MozRank and why, and what should I replace those with? The improvements to our DA/PA and Spam Score metrics now now account for more important nuances in helping you determine one site’s ability to rank higher than another. Because they no longer correlate with Google’s ranking model as well as they used to, MozRank and MozTrust are being deprecated for better metrics. Users should rely on Page Authority, Domain Authority, and Spam Score to determine the importance and quality of pages, domains, and links. I have historical data I use to help my clients benchmark their progress. What do I do now that DA is calculated differently? You should annotate any KPI changes referencing the change in DA and PA. However, most importantly, you should compare those changes to your competitors, as this will best show how strong your site’s authority is relative to the sites you’re competing against in the SERPs. We take updating our metrics very seriously, and our last major update to the model was 7 years ago. Users of Domain Authority and Page Authority can expect us to continue to produce steady, reliable metrics for the long haul, and only make changes to these metrics when we believe the benefits dramatically outweigh the stability of the metric. Do you have any questions about the new metrics? Anticipating a tough time reporting changes to clients or bosses? Metrics, features or functionality missing that you would want to see? Let us know in the thread, and we’ll work to find a good answer for you. Hope you enjoy the new Link Explorer product and the amazing new link index powering it. We are very excited to provide this valuable data to our community and customers.

Can I check outbound links from a website?
Hi! Is there an easy way to check if a certain domain has a link to my domain. Is there something similar to "checking outbound links" on a website?

Do other sites linking to my page with a low domain authority affect my rankings?
Hello, my page authority 30, I see other page with an authority of 21 for example linking to us. Is this good or bad, does this affect our ranking? A lot of these don't have anchor text, I'm guessing we should reach out to these webmaster to include anchor text with the keywords we want to drive traffic to this page or make as descriptive as possible? Thanks! Laura

301 Redirects: How long for Google to recognize? How long for Moz/OSE to recognize?
I redirected a few pages that had funky URL issues (capitals and underscores and useless words) to the same page renamed with proper URLs. The sitemaps were changed also, and re-submitted. Like this: mydomain.com/Not_Pertinent_Words.html >>> mydomain.com/good-words.html Google seems to have found them and changed the search engine results listing in about 8 days. But it's been about a month now and Moz and OSE still have not transferred all the strength and link data from the old URLs to the new ones. Question 1: How long does it usually take Google to transfer all the link and strength data for a 301? Question 2: How long does it take Moz and OSE to do the same? Is there something I need to do to tell them about the changes?
