When you say "disavowed", you mean that you've specifically used the disavow tool Google provides? In that case, you shouldn't need to have them re-crawled - my best guess from talking to other SEOs is that the disavow file basically acts as a layer of data on top of the link graph.
Now, if you've had links removed, and you want Google to acknowledge the removal, then yes, you'll need to get the pages re-crawled - or else just let time kill them off (but that could take a while). This is tricky, though - you don't necessarily want to promote a spammy page or drive more authority to it.
If it was one site you controlled, you could use XML sitemaps, the Webmaster Tools URL submission form, or a service like Ping-O-Matic (http://pingomatic.com/) to nudge Google to re-crawl, but most of those solutions don't work for a bunch of URL from other people's sites.
So, you're left building links or somehow drawing attention to them, which can be dangerous. You can promote them in social, too, but again, then you're basically vouching for those pages, and that's not exactly going to build your social accounts.
If you're using the GWT disavow, I'd just give it a time. Otherwise, I'd probably try something like pinging (you'll have to hack together a list of the URLs somehow, and maybe publish them to an RSS feed) - I think that's the lowest risk alternative.

What is the best way to eliminate ghost traffic from Google Analytics?
Hey Mozzers, I just wanted to see how you all deal with eliminating Google ghost traffic sources from Google. I tried setting up a RegEx 'include' list before, but it seemed as though I was blocking potential traffic sources when I did as much (I'm probably missing something here). Anyway, I'm interested to read how you all have dealt with this issue in the past, thanks for reading!

NoFollow tag for external links: Good or bad?
I have a few sites that have tens of thousands of links on them (most of them are sourcing images that happen to be external links). I know that it's a good thing to externally link to reputable sources, but is it smart to place the nofollow tag on ALL external links? I'm sure there is a good chance that external links from posts from years ago are pointing to sites that may now be penalized. I feel as though nofollowing all the external links could come off as unnatural. What are the pros and cons of placing the nofollow tag on ALL external links, and also if I leave it as is and don't put the nofollow tag on them. Thanks.

I was thinking of creating a few other sites and just blog about random stuff for 3-6 months generate traffic and start guest posting redirecting links back towards me. Is this bad?

Is my competitor up to no good? Strange site-explorer results.
I'm researching a competitor using site explorer and the seomoz toolbar and getting some strange results. When you search by the domain name in site explorer you get no results, but the toolbar shows 170K incoming links. http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=www.augustagreenlawns.com I noticed the top referring page was a strange internal url so I ran that through site explorer and discovered 19 links.. When you put the strange link in a browser, it redirects to the home url;.. At this url the toolbar shows 220 links and semoz shows 19 http://www.augustagreenlawns.com/?xid_78e7f=0f2a64344c8de6bdf2d8cdf8de93ea5c http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=www.augustagreenlawns.com%2F%3Fxid_78e7f%3D0f2a64344c8de6bdf2d8cdf8de93ea5c What is up with that url? What are they doing? This is a site ranking #1 for my local search term even though he has about 50 pages of almost duplicate content. See link below. I'm really scratching my head here. http://www.augustagreenlawns.com/home.php?all=categories

Are links from directories good or bad?
I've done a lot of competitive link analysis lately and found that a lot of my competitors links for a certain keyword are coming from low quality directory sites and they're outranking my site. This leads me to my question which may or may not have an answer(I at least hope it fuels a good discussion)... Are links from directory sites good or bad for SEO?
