Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi!

Yes, I did actually. After disavowing all the "The Globe"-domains + a hundred other spam domains, our visibility in Google organic actually went up quite a bit. So it was a success, and I recommend doing the same thing seeing as we seemed to be punished for the links.

For me this makes sense. Yes, I believe Google is extremely good at finding and diminishing these domains. On the other hand; if 1000 spam domains link to my site, they should be disavowed. If that didn't work, I would probably never bother to disavow again.

My concern in this whole thing was that we would lose visibility instead of gaining. But seeing as these are 100 % spam domains, I trusted Google to know this as well.

Best regards!

Thank you your answer!

We actually went ahead and disavowed them. A total of 916 domains. I will make sure to post the results her (if there are any). I personally don't think there will be any effect, but time will show. No matter what happens, it's nice to be sure that we aren't getting punished for the links.

Hi!

As some of you may be familiar with, there is a giant spam-network with the same design and same page title on all domains: "The Globe - The world's most visited web pages". For example:

theglobe.at
theglobe.co.za
www.internet-search.us

I've now discovered that over 900 of these spam-domains link to my site. My plan was of course to disavow them all, but Google is explicit on telling me to be careful. «Only disavow if you are certain that the links are damaging to your rankings». And to be honest, I'm not sure.

Also: it seems drastic to disavow almost a thousand pages. I'm afraid to mess something up. What would you do?
