How to detect a bad neighborhood links?

[Valarlf]

I have the feeling that I am suffering from negative seo, so there is a way to get a list of links that should remove in the google disavow links tool ?

This is not something you want to leave up to automation.  You need human input to decide whether a link is bad.  Disavowing innocent links will do more harm than good.

So you have to go through your link profile and focus on the domains that link to you the most, then move onto the ones that link to you with non-branded anchor text.

Good Question Luis,

Suggested Process below:

• Get a list of all your backlinks
• Make a list of all the known bad neighborhoods. You might have to research SEO blogs for this info
• Compare that with your list of backlinks
• You can also manually check any site to see if it is indexed in Google or not to confirm it's negative impact.
