Identify & Remove Spammy, Bad Backlinks
Is your site's ranking being affected by toxic, low-quality backlinks? By disavowing bad backlinks, you are telling Google not to consider those links in its ranking algorithms when assessing your website.
Let us help you pull out those toxic backlinks and rank your website back on Google's first page.
Are My Backlinks Good or Bad?
Many will think all backlinks are good. However, this is not the case. A website with many good, quality backlinks are more likely to improve its search rankings. On the other hand, bad backlinks, mostly from low-quality sites, will cause your site to downgrade from search engines like Google.
Read on below to further learn the differences between a good and bad backlink.
Good Backlinks
Bad Backlinks
High-quality links are created by writers that find your content useful and might help their readers. The best way to get quality backlinks is by writing unique, relevant content.
- Quality links from trusted sources
- High traffic
- Link anchor text and content are relevant to your website
- Can direct quality traffic to your website
Link Monitoring
As backlinks are still a critical part of SEO, continuous monitoring to ensure the links linked to you are healthy is an important part of any SEO campaign. Sometimes, you may be getting spams from bot sites, or become a victim or negative SEO.
Through the years of experience, a bad link can often outweigh a good one by a factor of 3. That means, having a single bad link can require 3-5 good links to “equalise” its effect, sometimes even more than that.
This is where we conduct Google disavows for our clients if our radar picks up these spammy, negative links. After removing these toxic links, your results will usually shoot up significantly.
The example below is another example of uncovering potential link networks that can penalise your website. Such networks can arise from bot farms or negative SEO, hence it is crucial to uncover such potentially malicious link networks.
Historical links check
Backlinks from negative SEO, hacks, link farms or bots from many years ago can still harm your website. Hence, it is crucial to dig out links from years back to ensure the hygiene of your SEO.

When Should I Disavow Backlinks?
Google's getting better at detecting good, high-quality backlinks. Bad, spammy backlinks will cause Google to deem your website as spammy too which affects its SEO and search ranking. Sites with a lot of bad backlinks will have their content removed from Google's ranking, leading to a drop in traffic.
What Happens During Link Disavow?
Disavowing a link sends a request to Google to disassociate bad backlinks from your website. When successful, the backlink will not be taken into consideration when the search engine algorithm determines your site's ranking in the search result.
Do note that requests to Google to disavow links are treated as suggestions. Google is not obligated to agree with your suggestion.
