Inside this video training, we are going to show you,how you can use Google Disavow, step-by-step, let’s have a look…
Go to Google and search for google disavow. Choose the first option, Disavow Links Tool which is google’s official Disavow links site. Now before proceeding, we have to log in with our Gmail ID. Do it, log in with your Gmail account. Now, this is Disavow links page, where we have our website link entered by default, if not, please enter your website link. Now it says that if you believe that your site’s ranking is being harmed by low-quality links you do not control, then you can ask Google not to take them into account when assessing your site. Read the full text, then enter your website link and click on this Disavow links button. You will get redirected to another page, where it is warning you to use Disavow with caution as it can harm your site’s performance. Next, you should use it only when you have a considerable number of spammy, artificial or low-quality links pointing to your site and if you are confident that those links are causing issues for you. So now click on this disavow links button. Here you need to upload a text file that contains ONLY the links you want to disavow. Again it is showing that it can potentially harm your site’s performance in Google’s search results and ONLY if you are sure that there are a considerable number of spammy, artificial or low-quality links pointing to your site.
So to upload, click on this choose file button and here you need to upload the txt file. The txt should be like in this format. It should have your domain name then spammy domain links 1, 2 3 and so on. The format should remain like this only. If you have more links, repeat the same format for more links etc. So this is our Disavow file, save it. And upload it by selecting this file and clicking on this open button. Then click on this Done button. And now you can disavow spammy links from your sites.
