Quick way to review Disavow?
-
We've recently taken on a new client that has a very large Disavow file. I'm wondering if any good backlinks are being disavowed in the list and want to do an audit but wondered if there was a tool I could use that could give me some high level stats on each of the domains in the Disavow? Ideally, I'd love to be able to drop a list of domains into a tool that can tell me PR, DA, Spam Score, Citation Flow, Trust Flow in an exportable table. Does such a tool exist?

Like Sean said, running an OSE report on the domain could help get some metrics. The problem though is that it's likely that there are domains disavowed that are not in the Moz list of backlinks for that site.
Ahrefs does have a bulk upload of urls/domains that you can do and get metrics back. That might be useful.
With that said, however, I rarely make disavow decisions based on metrics alone. I'd want to see the link itself. Still, I think what you're trying to do is trim the list down so that you can manually review links that are potentially good.
A little shameless self plug here...my disavow blacklist tool might help. I've got tens of thousands of domains in my blacklist that I almost always disavow. You can run a domain across my tool here. I have a paid version of the tool that would allow you to upload the entire list of domains that are in your disavow file and it will give you a CSV of which ones are blacklisted by me. You can find that here.
There are some domains that are whitelisted on my bulk disavow upload such as ones that link out to everyone like aboutus.org or alexa and others.
You could then just look at the domains that are not on my blacklist/whitelist. That could give you a smaller list to sort through.

Give Moz OSE a try. Run a link export on the domain and match back the DA and PA stats from the Moz export to the existing domains that have been disavowed. You can also map the spam scores back to them too. 5 minute job at most

From Theory to Practice. Optimising - Happn Review
I read many articles, blogs and forums about SEO. I read almost everything in Moz. It seams that I know how to do SEO but practically I don't get results. I have a testing page where from time to time I do tests. Today I found in adords that keyword "Happn review" in 2015 of January was searched 1900 times. I wrote this keyword in google and found that all results do not have keyword in their titles. The first result even does not have keyword "review" in text. I wrote a test http://askquestiononline.com/question/happn-review/ . Put keyword in title and in text. I even put it in image name. But my page is only in the 4th page. It is very strange that all my optimisation tests stuck in the page 4 🙂

DISAVOW domains by error
Dear all, On jun 20 I have uploaded a disavow file including some domains by error (good links), my question is could I remove from the Disavow file these domains and update it again, so Google will take the removed domains again as good links? Thank you

Should we use 'disavow' if we dramatically dropped serps after Oct 5th, but did not receive a warning?
We dramatically dropped serps after Oct 5th, but did not receive a warning about bad links on google webmasters. Is it a good idea to find and collect the worst links and disavow them? As there was no warning we can only guess links were the problem, but it seems likely. However we do not want to send any requests to google if no warning was sent. Can disavow be used in this way, or should we do more manually? (We are hoping remove links + increase very solid links + optimize for key words will help revive serps) Many thanks. James

Pay Per Post Blog Reviews - Does It Work?
I have come to realize that several SEO companies are basing their entire link strategy on paying bloggers to write a review about their client's website that also includes a link back to their website. I am thinking about adding this as part of my link building campaign. I am thinking about acquiring approximately 15 links a month from PR 2-5 blogs that pertain to my industry and target audience. I am thinking of using the network payperpost.com to find good blogs. First question: Does this type of link building work well? Second question: Is 15 links a month from PR 2-5 blogs (writing on my subject matter) enough to help out?

Sitewide links and ways round it
Hi there. I'm just re-reading The Art of SEO to ensure we have everything in place for our own website relaunch, and there was something that left me slightly confused with regards to sitewide links. As a web design company, a lot of our links come from sitewides on client websites, currently in the pages' footer region. Would these count as sitewide links, and would varying the target page and/or anchor text make these links count for more and be less of a red flag? Alternatively, is there a way we can get credit from the sites we have designed without running the risk of having our links marked down or ignored altogether by the search engines? (As an aside, it doesn't seem to have affected us so far, although it is obvious that only a small percentage of the inbound links are passing any real value - again, is this something we can rectify somehow?)
