Should I Use the Disavow Tool to for a Spammy Site/Landing Page?

[GlenCraig]

Here's the situation...

There's a site that is linking to about 6 articles of mine from about 225 pages of theirs (according to info in GWT).  These pages are sales landing pages looking to sell their product.  The pages are pretty much identical but have different urls. (I actually have a few sites doing this to me.)

Here's where I think it's real bad -- when they are linking to me you don't see the link on the page, you have to view the page source and search for my site's url. I'm thinking having a hidden url, and it being my article that's hidden, has got to be bad.  That on top of it being a sales page for a product

I've seen traffic to my site dropping but I don't have a warning in GWT.

These aren't links that I've placed or asked for in any way.  I don't see how they could be good for me and I've already done what I could to email the site to remove the links (I didn't think it would work but thought I'd at least try).

I totally understand that the site linking to me may not have any affect on my current traffic.

So should I use the Disavow tool to make sure this site isn't counting against me?

Use it.

The links are not build by you... you are sure that the link of link that is pointing back from certain URL is a bad link and you have tried everything to remove those links but failed... now the only option you have left is to use a disavow tool so go for it!

It is important not to use disavow tool when you didn't tried removing the bad links manually but if you did attempt and failed then you should go with option left with you that is using a Disavow tool!

As Moosa said, try and get them to take the articles down first because this would be better and Google says that you should try to get them taken down BEFORE using the disavow tool. If you have already tried then go ahead and use it, you can disavow links from an entire domain so you can just do that.

Thanks.  It seems there are so many opinions on disavow it's hard to know what's right.  A lot of people say to only use it when you get a GWT warning but others say it's OK as a preventative measure.

I think I'm going to put together a list of sites that I know are garbage pointing to me and disavow them.
