How to use the google disavow tools to keep your site up to-date an overview
1. HOW TO USE THE GOOGLE DISAVOW TOOLS TO KEEP YOUR SITE
UP-TO-DATE: AN OVERVIEW
The Google Disavow Tool was introduced on Tuesday, October 16, 2012. By this tool which
allow the webmasters to create a text file containing Url’s which they deem harming their
Google rankings and it allows webmaster to upload this file containing these Url’s so that
Google can remove them from your back-link profile and also take those suggestion within
that file into consideration for when they rank the keywords your website maybe targeting.
You will find the links you need by proceeding to Google Webmaster Tools and choose your
site:
Select Traffic > Links to Your Website
Now if you login into your Google Webmaster Tool Account, and simply go to the option,
and check links your side option, you will then turn around and see many links pointing
back-link to your website.
2. Select Traffic > Links to Your Site > More
Select "Download Latest Links"
Export to .CSV or Google Docs
Now some of them may you know jump at you as to, you know what, I didn’t create this
backlink and it is definitely not form related theme or niche, and it is spam. Meaning, let’s
say you’ve got and online business that’s focused in selling’s kids toys for example, and if
you got backlinks you know plenty of them, and you didn’t create, and it comes from
perhaps adult sites, and surely we can then perhaps say that’s a spam ok, that’s a spam
link coming pointing back to your website, which surely will hurt your Google Ranking. But
please take Google advice as to be very cautious, when you start creating this file and
suggesting Urls because there are many factors that go into determining spam as far as
backlink and websites and this stuff is concerned, so a lot of thought must be given before
you start using this tool.
Now the text file that you should create simply you can name it anything you want as long
as you have the file extension dot text. So that you do is simply determine the backlinks
which you deem and you are hundred percent sites its spam. Once you that, the text file are
very simple open your notepad up and simply create it.

Now if you put a hash tag and whatever comes afterwards on that line is considered as a
comment. Therefore that is ignored for the tool itself, but surely it’s good for your own
reference but also people who will see that file, people form Google when they look at that
they say hmm. You know what there a comment there is for us to read further information.
Because Google wants to make their own life easy because they know a lot of people will be
creating file and sending it to them. And if they made a promise and if they made a tool
available, then they have to take care of that side, because they are in customer business.

The “Disavow Links” Tool?
Therefore they want you to take the actions first, most often that may resolve the issue. But
if not, then this tool for it. And the keywords there domain colon and whatever domain that
you have identified as spam, so if you were to you know use this option and this keywords,
3. domain colon and whatever the URL, that basically saying ok you know what, I got one
thousand links coming from this spam website and I want every single one of them to be
ignore including the deeper links, so the whole domain will be ignored here. And on this
example here, you can if you choose select individual pages from a specific domain, so you
can choose that option as well, so it gives you and ability to you know if you got one
thousand links creating a file with one thousand links on it is not smart, because if you
around say you know what I got one thousand links coming from this particular domain,
then perhaps you know disallowing the whole domain entirely is a better option.
So, but before you head out to this link to suggest that file to Google Disavow Tool, please
bear in mind that this tool is like a loaded gun given to a child, meaning, not everyone will
be able to determine what a backlinks whit no value is, there is a lot of webmaster out
there, as you can see, there is comment that I got from Google blog itself, it’s saying thank
you Google, for making this great Disavow Tool available for us. Because now we can
disavow links coming from some articles websites and so on. You know something it may be
easy to determine a spam link, but if it’s coming from like what I said, like adult site to
website that who sells kids, surely there is major conflict there, so therefore anyone can
say, you know what, I don’t really wan backlinks coming from adult site when I’m selling
kids and so on.
But when we start looking at this example, you know when I look at it, I know for affect
there is misinformation here. And I know in my heart whoever wrote this comment, is
making a fatal mistake when they use this tool, because especially when it comes to article,
you know if you created articles that has value to your created articles that has value to
your potential customer, and if some article directory took the time to publish that article on
their site that may not be spam.
Now if you know in your heart of hearts and if you worked with seo services provider who
didn’t follow Google Guidelines, and if they turned around created articles that is spammy,
and has no customer value to the reader, then this example may be ok.
Bottom Line
But what I’m saying is it takes a lot of ranking factors in determining spam, there are so
many factors actually, and so it’s not easy for the untrained eye to determine what backlink
with no vale in this example is. A lot of people who go to official blog of Google and see stuff
like that, they may turn around and use tool at their will. So be very very very thoughtful,
get another opinions and who follows Google Guidelines and understand this stuff, that’s
my best advice to you. For more Information you can Visit http://www.daffodil.co/
