Is it possible to un-disavow a link if we later decide that it isnt spammy / undesirable ?
(i know best practice is to get it right first time, but worst comes to worst is it undo able ?)

Yes, you can easily do this. Here is a post from SEW that details this: https://searchenginewatch.com/sew/how-to/2409081/can-you-reavow-links-you-have-peviously-disavowed
Also, be careful with what you choose to disavow, as it can take Google a while to process these requests. What you don't want to do is get rid of good links, suffer a ranking loss, and then have to wait a long time while they re-process your request.

Hi there,
Absolutely - you can update your disavow file at any time in Google Search Console!
Just to reiterate your point - the effects that disavowing links has can be extreme and it takes some time to get back once you've made a mistake so proceed with caution.
all the best,
Sean

Links in the Classifieds
We rent apartments. One way we use to find clients is to advertize these apartments in Classifieds. Generally, we use free ads. Sometimes, for very popular sites ( like Kijiji), we pay so our ads can be seen first. Could this be a problem with Google? Some sites send us clients, many of them never do. We keep putting ads there because of their PR. What is the worth of this kind of links? Thanks for your answers.

Link value
Hi I have some links from blogs to our ecom website. My question is if anyone knows what happens if you have several different blogs on .blogspot linking in to you. Does that make them loose value because they are on the same domain? I can probably quite easily have 5-10 blogs on blogspot all with PA of 35-40 link in to us. Is it worth striving for or should i strive to get blogs that have their own domain to link into us instead ? Or equally important ? Dan Lærum
