Search3w approach is very simple:
Don’t blowout the house to kill a cockroach!
Start your disavow project by
- Examining your link portfolio using MOZ link checker, SEMrush Toxic link finder and Ahrefs-bad-links guide
- Crate a text file with the URL candidates to be removed
- For each URL in the list, break it into its root domain, and do step #1 again
- Use this logic:
Is the root domain is toxic/bad link too?
Yes – Open a new text file name “disavow.txt” and copy the domain URL to there. Use comment to write the story like “My client used a bad SEO company which they listed his brand on low quality websites. The client hired me to fix it, etc.”
No – Open the link page and observe with your own eyes and common-sense if it smell fishy or not. Think it is real/human Google engineer observing it. Copy the URL to the “disavow.txt” file if you think it is toxic.
