Disavow Tool Submitting 2nd File

[AMG100]

Hi

About 2 Months ago I submitted a Disavow File using the Disavow Tool

I have collected more links and I am ready to upload a 2nd File, However should I download the previous file in Webmaster Tools (Disavow Tool) and add these new links to that File or if I just upload and override the existing file with this file containing new links only will that be ok.

What I dont want to do is do something that removes all the previous findings from the list so that google cannot see them anymore. I guess what I am trying to say is does Google just refer to the live file I am updating / overriding or once I have submitted a file weather i remove it or not will google still have a record of it and be referring to it ?

Thanks

Adam

As you already pointed out, every time you upload a disavow file it replaces the old one. That being said if your new file contains a bunch of new links only and not the links you included in your original file then Google will take into consideration the new file and ignore the first one.

If you want to keep the old file and add the new links you found then download the old file add the new links and re-upload. That is the best way to do it

Ofcourse if google has already taken into consideration the old file then it doesnt matter as the links are gone, but better to play safe.
