Thanks Gaston! Good to keep this in mind.

Thanks Gaston for your response!

It sure helps in decision making.I guess I'll just filter and disavow really spammy backlinks with viagra and other medicine anchor texts.

Yeah, I have also noticed big differences with different tools. Quite often for example Ahrefs gives 0 DR and 0 UR, and Moz gives 25 DA and 12 PA on the same domain / url. This has been the case quite often with some old blogs with no updates in couple years. Maybe Moz doesn't care when was the latest content added to the site. Or maybe Ahrefs gives much less value to sites which don't get new content, and puts the score down much more.

Hi,

I am doing link cleaning, and still a bit new to this, and would appreciate the community's help

So, I have a site which has quite a lot of low DA (or no DA) follow backlinks. BUT,

• the links are from my niche
• the sites are not spammy
• the anchors are okay
• and they are from good Geo location for me

The only negative thing is that these sites are a bit "dead" meaning that there is no new content, and thus there is no traffic or clicks coming from them.

Should I keep those links or disavow them?

To me these links are natural, but do they help me at all....

FYI I have plenty of good DA links. But what do you guys think, if I disavow all these low DA backlinks, does Google think that I am trying to manipulate my backlink structure to look better than it naturally is?

Cheers guys and girls!

Hi everyone,

I'm doing some bad link cleaning. And am following this nice guide: https://moz.com/blog/bad-backlink-analysis-using-moz-link-explorer

And there it says that "Because we aren't concerned with nofollow links, you will want to set the "follow" filter so that we only export followed links. "

So does it really mean that I don't have to worry about nofollow links, even though they would be spammy, or some weird stuff like drug perscription anchors which for sure won't help me?  Or is it better to disavow those as well? (I would assume so).
