We removed the links in June, but they are still showing up. At that point, there were 17,000 links from one site. Now there are around 8,000. If they are removed, they should no longer show in the report after Google re-crawls, right? At what point do we determine a last ditch effort? Are there any disadvantages to using the disavow tool other than the loss of potentially useful links?

Should I Disavow?
I had a Wordpress plugin on blog rolls and had a large number of links from a couple of sites that aren't necessarily related to our own. I've removed the links, but they are still showing up in Google Analytics and Moz Open Site Explorer. Based on my research, I don't think that removing these links will hurt us, and that removing them may help boost our ranking. Should I go ahead and disavow the links? Are there any other things I need to take into consideration?

RE: Should I disavow without a manual penalty?
This is something we have been wondering as well. We were wondering if some of our backlinks were hurting us because our ranking went down. We decided we were going to try it out, but continue trying to get good, solid links. If I find out anything else, I'll let you know, but please do the same!

Looks like your connection to Moz was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect.
