Hi, I have the same experience with Portafina. It not only slowed down my speed, but also the performance.But disowning helped me a lot. Thanks

Remember, correlation does not equal causation.

Really, there's no way for MOZ or A HREFS to detect which domains you have put into a seperate disavow file that you've uploaded to google.

but it did increase in my case

I dont believe such a thing that when you update a Google Disavow, your DA suddenly increases.

Thank you for your response

You covered all my queries regarding Disavow list. same my company also hired a seo agency that left a lot  of Sammy links that hurt the ranking as obvious.

While flagging a URL  as a Spam what aspects should I consider ?

As I have been through this article. i want to know that what aspect we should be checking while flagging a link as an spam?

[Nileshaggarwal]

no,but last time when i submitted disavow list it helped me in increasing my Domain Authority. and previously my company hired a seo agency to do the work. so we eventually have a lot of Sammy links

Interesting case. I do have a website thats more then 10 years old and which belongs to one of my clients. He got struck by the typical wordpress comment spam, in short there where over 50k of comment links found in barely months, and that counter is still going up since google is'nt so fast in crawling half of the internet (yet).

It is true that google pretty much senses if something evil or phishy is going on. I was suprised that even with 10k of follow links with the worst (same) anchor all over the place left the ranking(s) pretty much in tact. But there's good tools like https://websiteseochecker.com/extract-url-to-domain/#arearesult for example where you could cram in dozen of links and simply get ONE url out of it instead of weaving through a thousands of URL's manually.

This made it pretty easy to finally cram all those links in disavow. Yes some do hurt; usually after a half day when i submitted a disavow list rankings became a bit better. But if your spammed with low quality keywords, pages and all that, and you did'nt had anything with it or it was the 'leftover' from another SEO company, it's good to manually put these in disavow and measure the performance of your website. Sometimes it can take up to 2 weeks even, so have a bit of patient.

Google has an easy-to-read article for you about when and how to disavow links.

In short, rarely do you ever need to disavow links, even if they're spammy. They have smart analysis built-in to detect whether a spammy link is just spam or if it is the result of unethical SEO practices trying to game the system, otherwise known as "black hat SEO". In the case that they detect or suspect unethical backlinking, you will be hit with a "manual action". You can check for these, as well as disavow links, in the Google Search Console.
