      Hi,

      My website was effected in the recent google updates. I have a feeling that this was due to the bad links. I have analyzed all my existing links and either I am removing the bad links or disavow the links.

      1. When can I see the effect / results of this activity.

        Hi i think i have the same problem. Found this really good article about the topic

        http://www.searchenginejournal.com/how-to-guide-on-identifying-bad-links-and-pruning-them-using-googles-disavow-tool-by-navneet-kaushal/51372/

        Also im thinking whether to use this tool to help with the process.

            There's no telling. I'd say wait at least a month after submitting a thorough disavow to see any changes.
