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.

Will a blog post about a collection of useful tools and web resources for a specific niche being seen as negative by google for too many links?
SEO newbie here, I'm thinking about creating a blog post about a collection of useful tools and web resources for my specific niche. It'd be 300 links or more, but with comments, and categorized nicely. It'd be a useful resource for my target audience to bookmark, and share. Will google see this as a negative? If so, what's the best way to do such a blog post? Thanks

I disappeared from Google, but not Bing?
A few weeks ago the company I work for created a website called Nabceptraining.com in hopes to find clientele who are looking to become NABCEP Certified. So we installed WordPress and a nice looking theme that we edited, and we saw that without any real content on the page we were already rank 12 on Google! We never even submitted our site. So we decided to Search Engine Optimize our website to gain even better rankings. So on the first day we added an SEO Tool that would allow us to change the page titles and descriptions on our site, a Sitemap generation tool so we could submit the site to Google, Bing, and Yahoo. At the end of the day we submitted the site and was beginning to create our content. That next morning our ranking was gone and we were not to be found on Google, but we were rank 3 on Bing!? What happened? Why did we disappear? We didn't receive any messages from Google on the webmaster tools saying we were blacklisted. Does anyone have an idea?

How to rank in Google Places
Normally, I don't have a problem with local SEO (more of a multi-channel sort of online marketing guy) but this one has got me scratching my head. Look at https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=wedding+venues+in+essex Theres two websites there (fennes and quendon park) that both have a much more powerful DA but don't appear in the Google Places (Google + Business or whatever it's labeled as). Why are websites such as Boreham house ranking top in the map listings? Quendon Park has a Google places listing, it's full of content, the NAP all matches up. Its a stronger website. Boreham House isn't any closer to the centroid than Quendon Park Just got me struggling this one

No existing pages in Google index
I have a real estate portal. I have a few categories - for example: flats, houses etc. Url of category looks like that: mydomain.com/flats/?page=1 Each category has about 30-40 pages - BUT in Google index I found url like: mydomain.com/flats/?page=1350 Can you explain it? This url contains just headline etc - but no content! (it´s just generated page by PHP) How is it possible, that Google can find and index these pages? (on the web, there are no backlinks on these pages) thanks

Best blocking solution for Google
Posting this for Dave SottimanoI Here's the scenario: You've got a set of URLs indexed by Google, and you want them out quickly Once you've managed to remove them, you want to block Googlebot from crawling them again - for whatever reason. Below is a sample of the URLs you want blocked, but you only want to block /beerbottles/ and anything past it: www.example.com/beers/brandofbeer/beerbottles/1 www.example.com/beers/brandofbeer/beerbottles/2 www.example.com/beers/brandofbeer/beerbottles/3 etc.. To remove the pages from the index should you?: Add the Meta=noindex,follow tag to each URL you want de-indexed Use GWT to help remove the pages Wait for Google to crawl again If that's successful, to block Googlebot from crawling again - should you?: Add this line to Robots.txt: DISALLOW */beerbottles/ Or add this line: DISALLOW: /beerbottles/ "To add the * or not to add the *, that is the question" Thanks! Dave
