Honestly, I never knew my website would get attacked by such bad spammers, as they sent 6 to 7 worst back links to my site. I realized it a week ago when I manually checked through search console.

I’ve investigated and soon disavowed them, and surprisingly it worked so well! They were gone in just 2 weeks with my ranking back as where it was. We’re blessed with such a great tool.

The disavow tool can impact your website and not always the way you were expecting. Therefore, use it carefully. Glad the blog post was useful for you 😉

Thanks for the informative blog post. I have found that the use of the Google disavow tool has been a very confusing subject where a lot of blogs are instructing everybody how to use the tool and give them the idea that if they have some junk or spammy backlinks to just fire up the disavow tool and start disavowing away without taking any prisoners. I am glad that I recently talked to a friend of mine who knows a lot about seo and also read your article so I did not get myself in trouble. There are also a few backlink tools that do not warn people enough about the side effects of your rankings when you disavow without properly knowing exactly when and where to use the tool. Thanks again for properly explaining the use of the disavow tool. My rankings thank you!
