      I have detected than one web domain is generating 2400 links to my site

      should a use a disavow tools, as it is imposible to have contact from webmaster and no response to your emails

      My web as not been warned or penalized, but i dont like this link, and i want to inform google of that,.

      If google acepts the disavow file, should i still see on my webmaster tools that web links, or will they desapear

      thanks

        Hi,

        I have detected than one web domain is generating 2400 links to my site

        ** Are those links spamy ? can you post the domain and links ? Maybe those links are helping you - if you disavow them you will lose any Page Rank those links are sending - if any.

        should a use a disavow tools, as it is imposible to have contact from webmaster and no response to your emails

        ** You should use the disavow file for this only if you are 100% that those links are bad and also if your link profile is not strong enough to "eat up" those links so they won't raise any flags on Google's side - again, if the links are bad.

        My web as not been warned or penalized, but i dont like this link, and i want to inform google of that,.

        ** Then this is the easiest way to flag this link and be stress-less.

        If google acepts the disavow file, should i still see on my webmaster tools that web links, or will they desapear

        ** Yes, you will still see the links in Web master Tools as Web master Tools displays both follow and no follow links. (and since the disovow dosen't do anything but adding on google side the nofollow atribute to the link - even if that's not on the actual link / code).

        Hope it helps.

          I have in total 3786 links to my site of those 2405 are generated to that unique domain to the same url (home page). I send a disavow on month ago, but i still see that linking url.

          How can i check if that link has became unfollow or not?

          **http://undirectorio.com/Salud/dentistas/ **

          were the original link is

          here is were the link is, but i dont know how it generates 2405. It would be a good link as is my field if it just gave a link, but it generates 2405 on webmaster tools

          page authority 25, domain autority 45

          http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=www.propdental.es

          It appears this link**, but i see it as follow**, should i send another disavow to google? or

          undirectorio.com/index.php?list=latest

          www.undirectorio.com/page-1.html?s=P&search=y

          www.undirectorio.com/page-1.html?s=H&search=-

            Hi,

            Yes you are right, that's not the best link you can hope for but what you did is good and enough. You don't have to worry about it anymore.

            The disavow file will only inform Google that you want that link to be disregarded (as far as sending Page Rank) and they will do that once you submitted the disavow file so no worries there.

            You will still see the link in other tools as a dofollow as, again, what you did is only informing google about it. So you can still get referral traffic from those links, you don't care how many are there as there are all nofollow basically so no danger for you as far as algorithmic or manual penalties.

            Cheers.
