      Hi, in the past few weeks 100's of .info links appeared in WMT pointing to my site. Should I be worried about these links ? What can I do to block them ?

      Thanks

        Hi Nick

        If you are unsure of the links and want to block them you can from within webmaster tools use the disavow links option

        Take a look at the user steps on the link below which explains the process

        Hope this helps

            Hi, my site is a fairly new site, by doing the disavow in a early stage, google wont think that it has a penalty or something right ?

              Google will not, It is recommend you try to get in touch with the webmasters of the sites before going down the disavow route.

              Before you go about mass link removal make sure the following is true : Are the links doing you damage ?

                  I second this as well. Disavow is not a plan A, but an plan B, C, D. In the process of link cleaning
