      I am working on Ecommerce website and getting issues with bad inbound links. I am quite excited to use Disavow links tools for clean up bad inbound links and sustain my performance on Google. We have 1,70,000+ inbound links from 1000+ unique root domains. But, I have found maximum root domains with low quality content and structure. Honestly, I don't want to capture inbound links from such websites who are not active with website and publishing. I am quite excited to use Disavow links tool. But, How do I predict quality of inbound links or root domains before using it? Is there any specific criteria to grade quality of inbound links?

        Hi, I suggest putting your site into the Open Site Explorer and looking at the Page Authority and Domain Authority of the links.

        These two metrics are Moz's measurement of authority which you can find out more about via the links here: http://moz.com/learn/seo/page-authority and http://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority. They will give you a good idea.

        Just a word on the Disavow tool. Be cautious in the way you use it and maybe check out this blog post: Disavowed: Secrets of Google's Most Mysterious Tool before you do anything further.

        I hope that helps,
        Peter
