      Hi,

      Two part question - First, are links that you disavow using google webmaster tools ever removed from the webmaster tools account profile ?

      Second, when you upload a file to disavow links they ask if you'd like to replace the previously uploaded file. Does that mean if you don't replace the file with a new file that contains the previously uploaded urls those urls are no longer considered disavowed?

      So, should we download the previous disavow file first then append the new disavow urls to the file before uploading or should we just upload a new file that contains only the new disavow urls?

      Thanks

        If you are resubmitting you must have all links in the file

        I would use http://www.removeem.com/

        there made by http://www.virante.org/ & they are Moz Recommended so you can't  go wrong &

        It's not expensive

        Hope I was of help,

        Thomas

          Answer to First question: I don't think anybody knows yet as Disavow just hasn't been around long enough yet. But what I read is that it causes Follow links from the "bad" domains to list to be considered NoFollow links and therefore harmless.

          Answer to Second question: Yes, yes, and no.  I wrote about this in another posting yesterday here: http://moz.com/community/q/google-disavow-file-update

          Good luck!
