What is Google Disavow Link Tool, and How to Use It?
What is the Disavow Links Tool?
Google Disavow Links tool means a tool that works to reject several links that point to your website, or in short, this tool is used to reject backlinks that go to your website. Meanwhile, a backlink is a link on a certain website that leads to another website or web page.
In its explanation, Google states that content and backlinks are two very important factors that can influence the performance of a website, especially in improving the results of an organic search, which is also a strategy of Search Engine Optimization or SEO.
Currently, Google truly prioritizes quality over quantity. This means that even though a website has many backlinks, if the backlinks are considered to have low quality, they can easily be defeated by a website that has fewer backlinks but with good quality.
High-quality backlinks can have a significant impact on the Search Engine Optimization or SEO strategy you are doing, and can also help improve SERP. However, not all backlinks have good quality; many backlinks are of poor quality and are considered spam by Google, which results not in raising your website’s ranking but instead lowering it.
How to Use It?
You can use Google disavow to help you remove backlinks that can damage your website's reputation. You can also ask Google to ignore the backlinks you have selected, and the purpose of this tool is to reject and clean up your backlink profile.
This disavow link is recommended only to be used in emergency situations, not in normal conditions, because it can cause problems on your website if used accidentally under normal conditions. In addition, you can also use the disavow links tool when you receive a manual action message in Google Search Console that suggests you perform disavow links.
It’s best that you conduct regular checks on Google Search Console, because warnings from Google usually appear when you do link buying activities, and use automated features that direct links directly to the website you manage. To prevent this message from appearing in Google Search Console, you need to regularly check your backlinks and pay attention to each link that has the potential to harm your website.
Then, when you receive a suggestion from Google, immediately perform disavow of links to avoid the penalties given by Google. The way to do it is:
1.Access the disavow links tool available in Google Search Console
2.Select your website
3.Enter a file with many links to be disavowed
4.After you submit it to the Google Disavow Link Tool, Google will review the links and re-check the links you submitted.
The last step is to wait for the result; there is no certainty when you will get the result. But to make sure, keep monitoring your traffic either through Google Search Console or Google Analytics.
That was the definition and how to use the Disavow Links tool's feature available in Google Console. Hopefully, this article is useful and can help develop your website.
