      Hi All,

      How you find out that how many links are low quality what are the area of consideration for finding the low quality link.

      I have checked the Google webmasters for list of all site links. and finding out that few link have not found or have no PR, links from irrelevant theme.

      Please tell me more about the low quality links.

      Is disavow link helpful for removing those links from the website also?

      Thanks

        Hi there

        That's a good start, but there are a number of other factors you should check as well.  On-page elements for each link should be reviewed, such as whether or not the link is contextual or not, if it appears in a blogroll or footer and what the other outbound links on the page are pointing.  If they're going to a whole mix of irrelevant sites, chances are your link is on a link-farm.

        The SEOMoz metrics of Page Authority and Domain Authority are really helpful in determining if a link is low quality or not.  There's no magic number here and every case is different, but you may want to start with something like: Anything below 15 for domain authority might be a low quality link.

        I'm also a big fan of MajesticSEO's trust score and citation score.  The higher these scores the better, so again any link under 10 for either score could be considered as low quality.

        You can check all of these metrics, along with PR if that's your thing (though I wouldn't pay too much attention to it), with the NetPeak checker.  It's free and lets you check URLs on bulk for a wide range of metrics.  I'd definitely check that out.

        You might also find this SEOMoz blog post helpful.

        Hope this helps get you going.

          • Hi. One of our competitors is ranking ahead of us on Google. Our site has a much stronger authority and much more quality links than this competitor. Would anyone have any explanations for this? Thanks
