That is just not the case. I saw the same from google, but disavowing globe domains helps in a big way.
-
I have heard the same, but experience shows that disavowing them most certainly helps as of 2/12/2020.
There is a utility that can find every globe domain in a MOZ Linking Domains CSV file, and its free.
https://dynamic.domains/disavow-utility.zip
Just use the_worlds_most_visited in the keyword field, and it will find every single globe domain in your file.

I hear what you are saying. Like you say there are people on both sides of the fence, I get rid of them and I am pretty sure I've seen some examples where it has actually benefited results
-
I disagree, but I know there are lots of people on both sides of the fence on this one!
"The globe is a known spam network", so one would assume Google is aware and just ignores it.
Google say (highlighting is me):
"Google works very hard to make sure that actions on third-party sites do not negatively affect a website. In some circumstances, incoming links can affect Google’s opinion of a page or site. For example, you or a search engine optimizer (SEO) you’ve hired may have built bad links to your site via paid links or other link schemes that violate our quality guidelines." - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2648487?hl=enAnd John Mueller said (highlighting is me):
"Random links collected over the years aren't necessarily harmful, we've seen them for a long time too and can ignore all of those weird pieces of web-graffiti from long ago. Disavow links that were really paid for (or otherwise actively unnaturally placed), don't fret the cruft." - https://twitter.com/JohnMu/status/1088929651593039872If you didn't go out and generate those links, I wouldn't worry about them.
Disavowing a known spam link site does not help Google clear up
-
The Globe is a known spam network and you should disavow links, at the least - from all spam sites. There have been several posts here over the past few months with users either seeing a dive in their results (and then I check their backlinks, finding billions of globe ones) or sharing their own disavow files. In most instances, most users have agreed that The Globe is a nasty spammy network which looks like it is link selling, which could potentially (in some circumstances, not all) lead to negative SEO impacts
If you identify pages as being part of The Globe network, I would strongly advise you to disavow them. We've had to disavow thousands for some clients who were negatively impacted and removing them did help
They are spammy link lists. The pages serve no function or purpose, other than (apparently) SEO. Google say time and again, these types of pages and links clutter up the web and cause lots of problems. They don't like these. Just because a web-pages isn't some kind of satanic gambling bdsm site, that doesn't mean it is a good link that you should keep
These days, standards are higher (IMO). Say no to these kinds of links
-
Thanks for reverting me. Can you share any article or forum where Google says that Google will discount these type links and won't penalize.
-
Sites like that will not do any harm (they won't do anything for your rankings to be fair). I wouldn't worry about disavowing, Google will be well aware of them and discount them, they won't penalise you.

URL Masking or Cloaking?
Hi Guy's, On our webshop we link from our menu to categories were we want to rank on in Google. Because the menu is sitewide i guess Google finds the categories in the menu important and meaby let them score better (onside links) The problem that i'm facing with is that we make difference in Gender. In the menu we have: Man and Woman. Links from the menu go to: /categorie?gender=1/ and /category?gender=2/. But we don't want to score on gender but on the default URL. For example: Focus keyword = Shoes Menu Man link: /shoes?gender=1 Menu Woman link: /shoes?gender=2 But we only want to rank on /shoes/. But that URL is not placed in the menu. Every URL with: "?" has a follow noindex. So i was thinking to make a link in the menu, on man and woman: /shoes/, but on mouse down (program it that way) ?=gender. Is this cloaking for Google? What we also could do is make a canonical to the /shoes/ page. But i don't know if we get intern linking value on ?gender pages that have a canonical. Hope it makes senses 🙂 Advises are also welcome, such as: Place al the default URL's in the footer.

Old Press Release sites - Which ones do you Disavow and leave alone
Hi Mozers! I need your help. I'm in the final stages of a huge link audit and press releases are a big concern. As you know, press release distribution sites up until 2012 had "follow" links, giving webmasters a delight of having their keyword anchor texts a big boost in rankings. These are the websites that are troubling me today so i would appreciate your input on my strategy below as most of these websites are asking for money to remove them: 1. Press Release sites that are on the same C-class - Disavow 2. Not so authoritative press release websites that just follow my www domain only (no anchor texts) - I leave it alone 3. Not so authoritative press release websites but have anchor texts that are followed - Disavow 4. Post 2012 press release websites that have "followed" anchor text keywords - Request to remove, then disavow 5. Post 2012 press release websites that just follow my www domain only (no anchor texts) - leave it alone #2 and #5 are my biggest concern. Now more than ever I would appreciate your follow ups. I will respond quickly and apply "good answers" to the one's that make the most sense as my appreciation to you. God bless you all.

Disavow wn.com?
I am cleaning up some spammy backlinks for a client and will be submitting a disavow at Google. This particular company website has 2,000+ backlinks from the domain wn.com which appears to be "World News". If you go to it, it appears to be nothing more than scraped content from other sites. Here is a recent example, where my client is linked to (I don't even see the backlink on the page, but it is in the source code!):
White Hat / Black Hat SEO | | gbkevin
http://article.wn.com/view/2013/11/22/Hungarian_Woman_Sentenced_to_One_Year_in_Prison_for_Her_Role/#/related_news But when I look at Moz metrics, WN.com has a domain authority of 90! So I don't want to disavow something that could POTENTIALLY be helping us. The client's website gets zero traffic from wn.com and I've never seen my client linked to in anything worthwhile... it kinda looks spammy to me. If you were me, after looking at WN.com and taking everything into account... would you disavow it? This client really needs to create a healthier backlink profile. Thanks!0 -

Is it bad to no follow all External LInks at the same time?
I am working on more than 40 EMDs. They are good quality brand sites but they all are interlinked to each other through footer links, side bar links. (and they dont have much of linking root domains) Now Some of those sites have been renovated with new templates and these new sites has very few external links (links going out to our own sites) but some of these old sites has 100s of external links (all these external links of course link to our own sites). But anyways, we are planning to no follow all those external links (links that are linking to our own sites) slowly to avoid penalty? question is, can it be bad to implement no follow to all those links on those sites at the same time?Will Google see it as something fishy? (I don't think so) Also, Is it good strategy to no follow all of them? (I think it is) What you guys think ?

Beating the file sharing sites in SERPs - Can it be done and how?
Hi all, A new client of mine is an online music retailer (CD, vinyls, DVD etc) who is struggling against file sharing sites that are taking precedence over the client's results for searches like "tropic of cancer end of things cd" If a site a legal retailer trying to make an honest living who's then having to go up against the death knell of the music industry - torrents etc. If you think about it, with all the penalties Google is fond of dealing out, we shouldn't even be getting a whiff of file sharing sites in SERPs, right? How is it that file sharing sites are still dominating? Is it simply because of the enormous amounts of traffic they receive? Does traffic determine ranking? How can you go up against torrents and download sites in this case. You can work on the onsite stuff, get bloggers to mention the client's pages for particular album reviews, artist profiles etc, but what else could you suggest I do? Thanks,
