About google Disavow tool
-
My website is attacked by spammed link method, so should i use Goolge disavow tool to remove that links?
And i have an question that when i use google Disavow to remove backlinks, but i still not remove it on the webpage that placed my links. Does Google index that backlink again? or never?

Your meaning that they can not attack me by spam links? ( i found that they add my link on adult webpage). So i think i should remove it from my backlink list.
Yes, i think that the link exchange page is not good way to building link because of many reason and it is not my main way to building links.
But now, my webpage is in google Sanbox and i must escape from it before i am building good links.

Even if you haven't built the links yourself, that doesn't necessarily mean they're hurting your site.
If the links are coming from spammy sites, it could be hurting your site, but Google's algorithm is pretty sophisticated and if your search rankings have fallen, it may not actually be a penalty but just them adjusting things. I would focus my energy on developing more good links. I see on your site you have a reciprocal link directory. When it comes to SEO, I'm not a huge fan of using reciprocal links as a main link-building strategy. Google loves diversity, so if most of your backlinks are from sites you are also linking to in your directory, that might not be the best SEO strategy, especially when some of the sites are not in the same niche as yours.

Thanks Nick!
I found that many links to my site isnt built by myself. So i think that enermy spam that links to take me to the google sandbox. So i cant not know exactly that links come from which page but domain.
So i decide to use this tool.
But i have a trouble, the link from one web page but google indexed it like 2 link ( ex: backlink page is abc.com, but google indexed the backlinks are: abc.com and www.abc.com, too). So should i remove one of them or keep both and if i remove one of them, google will remove the last one ( i remove abc.com, will Google remove www.abc.com??? )
Thanks!

Are you sure these links are actually hurting your site? A lot of people think their site is being penalized when it actually isn't. If we're talking just a few links from lousy sites, it's probably not hurting your site. If we're talking a large scale thing though, it could have a negative effect.
Your best bet is to try to have the links actually removed from the spammy sites. If that fails, that's where the disavow tool comes in, but it can potentially take quite a long time to see any changes

Yes thats why it's there.
If google chooses to take action about your report they will simply ignore the links for good when calculating your ranking.

Google Not Picking Up Posts
I am trying to work out why from March 4th Google is not seeing my posts. Our google impressions have dropped from 8,000 to 40. If you put in the full article name with speach marks it does not find it, and instead shows the home page in google. We have not had any warnings. We did have work done on our site but nothing else i could think of to cause this. Can anyone let me know what may have caused this. All articles are original

Web Page Dropped Out of Google?
One of our web pages seems to have completely dropped out of Google after featuring on page 1 for a number of years. It can't be a site wide issue as all other web pages are performing as normal. The page is http://www.contractormoney.com/income-protection/ and the key phrase it was performing well for was 'contractor income protection'. Any ideas??

Disavow questions
Pretty sure I know the answers to these but someone asked me to make absolutely sure so here goes, any opinions welcome: If i disavow a whole domain does it include all sub-domains on the domain also?- my answer is clearly yes. If i have network of links really bad linking to my website that are already nofollow but awful websites to be linked on, is it worth putting them in the disavow list anyway to basically tell Google literally no association? I know the whole point of disavow is to essentially nofollow the link. Opinions much appreciated, thank you guys.

Do Google Always Tell You About Penalties?
Hi One of my clients has recently suffered a big decline in rankings on some of their keywords, going from positions in the top 10 to sub 50 for some of their keywords, but not all. Their website is still indexed and there is no link warning from Google. Some of their links from a previous link builder are dodgy and we have already tried to contact the other company for removal but to no avail. Any ideas where I start? So far I planning to increase the branded anchor link and add some content as the site is fairly light on content. Is it worth doing a reconsideration request and mention the bad links incase this is the problem. Has anyone seen any particular good resources on what to do when it appears you have a penalty. None of my other clients have been effected by Panda or Penguin and although I have done some general reading I need to know what action to take and get up to speed FAST! Thanks in advance. Kind regards Karen
