About google Disavow tool
-
My website is attacked by spammed link method, so should i use Goolge disavow tool to remove that links?
And i have an question that when i use google Disavow to remove backlinks, but i still not remove it on the webpage that placed my links. Does Google index that backlink again? or never?

Your meaning that they can not attack me by spam links? ( i found that they add my link on adult webpage). So i think i should remove it from my backlink list.
Yes, i think that the link exchange page is not good way to building link because of many reason and it is not my main way to building links.
But now, my webpage is in google Sanbox and i must escape from it before i am building good links.

Even if you haven't built the links yourself, that doesn't necessarily mean they're hurting your site.
If the links are coming from spammy sites, it could be hurting your site, but Google's algorithm is pretty sophisticated and if your search rankings have fallen, it may not actually be a penalty but just them adjusting things. I would focus my energy on developing more good links. I see on your site you have a reciprocal link directory. When it comes to SEO, I'm not a huge fan of using reciprocal links as a main link-building strategy. Google loves diversity, so if most of your backlinks are from sites you are also linking to in your directory, that might not be the best SEO strategy, especially when some of the sites are not in the same niche as yours.

Thanks Nick!
I found that many links to my site isnt built by myself. So i think that enermy spam that links to take me to the google sandbox. So i cant not know exactly that links come from which page but domain.
So i decide to use this tool.
But i have a trouble, the link from one web page but google indexed it like 2 link ( ex: backlink page is abc.com, but google indexed the backlinks are: abc.com and www.abc.com, too). So should i remove one of them or keep both and if i remove one of them, google will remove the last one ( i remove abc.com, will Google remove www.abc.com??? )
Thanks!

Are you sure these links are actually hurting your site? A lot of people think their site is being penalized when it actually isn't. If we're talking just a few links from lousy sites, it's probably not hurting your site. If we're talking a large scale thing though, it could have a negative effect.
Your best bet is to try to have the links actually removed from the spammy sites. If that fails, that's where the disavow tool comes in, but it can potentially take quite a long time to see any changes

Yes thats why it's there.
If google chooses to take action about your report they will simply ignore the links for good when calculating your ranking.

Internal Link Analysis Tool
I want to get a better handle on what internal link text (and co-occurance if possible) my site currently has. We have a lot of old blog articles that provide link juice back to the main site, but with thousands of pages, we never kept track of when we internally link to a page. Are there any tools that will provide an analysis of this? OpenSiteExplorer seems like a very tedious way to do it and it didn't appear to be 100% accurate. Also, are there any tools that will provide analysis and recommendations based on keywords targeted?

Does Google know what footer content is?
We plan to do away with fixed footer content and make, for the most part, the content in the traditional footer area unique just like the 'main' part of the content. This begs the question, do Google know what is footer content as opposed to main on page content?
