The subsequent comments echoed the poll results, but some SEOs explained how they took a more nuanced approach and why disavowing makes sense in certain situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"link-disavow-tool-is-a-tool-that-allows-you-to-disavow-links\">Link Disavow Tool is a tool that allows you to disavow links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Google&#8217;s search console includes a feature that allows publishers and SEOs to tell Google to ignore certain links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Penguin Algorithm was released in 2012, Google created the disavow tool at the request of the SEO community to deal with the massive amount of paid links and other link schemes that SEOs were engaging in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paid links and other low-quality links built by the publishers themselves were penalized by the Penguin algorithm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To restore the penalized websites&#8217; rankings, SEOs and publishers had to request that all of the spammy links they had created be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, requests to remove links were often ignored, or a website would ask for money to remove them, which could become prohibitively expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google responded to the SEO community&#8217;s request for an easy way to disavow links that couldn&#8217;t be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read <a href=\"https:\/\/fileproinfo.com\/blog\/web-team-project-prioritization-frameworks-to-set-seo-up-for-success\/2022\/\">Web Team Project Prioritization Frameworks To Set SEO Up For Success<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The disavow tool&#8217;s announcement makes it clear that it&#8217;s only for links created by publishers and SEOs, and that it&#8217;s only for use in the context of avoiding an &#8220;unnatural links&#8221; penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2012 disavow tool announcement by Google stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThe primary purpose of this tool is to help clean up if you\u2019ve hired a bad SEO or made mistakes in your own link-building.<\/p><p>\u2026If, despite your best efforts, you\u2019re unable to get a few backlin<em>ks taken down, that\u2019s a good time to use the Disavow Links tool.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Google ignores links associated with &#8220;negative SEO,&#8221; according to the announcement, and publishers don&#8217;t need to use the disavow tool for random links they aren&#8217;t responsible for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this, many publishers and SEOs are concerned about negative SEO and odd links, and they disavow them anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-majority-of-seos-disregard-spammy-links\">The majority of SEOs disregard spammy links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sarah McDowell (@SarahMcDUK) conducted the poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that only 182 people responded to the poll, so it can&#8217;t be said to be a representative sample of SEO professionals in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, the poll is intriguing because the results heavily favor ignoring spammy links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-poll-results\">Poll Results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Ignore spammy links: 65.5%<\/p><p>Disavow spammy links: 33.5%<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">With Google saying that they ignore &#39;spammy&#39;
