      Hello, i have in Webmasters Tools 66 links to my website and i see many links of forums and blogs that copied the same post from another blogs, etc.. There are 2-3 always, i am not concerned but i don't know if i should use this tools to eliminate some links.

      What do you think? When should i use this tool?

      Thanks so much.

        Honestly without seeing the site or the links that you are talking about for me to tell you yes or no is impossible.

        Unless you told me that you have purchased these links then I would disavow them.

        It seems that if you're not concerned then it should not be an issue.

        Are the links relevant to your site?

        Are the links from any sites that have a strong domain rank?

        Are any of the links no follows? (if so don't worry about them.)

        If there forms and blogs that are related to your site that does not make them inherently evil. Nor does it make them so bad that they must be disavowed if they're just from any form or blog.

        However if it there in any way shape or form set up to trick Google into ranking your site higher than it is then that's one worry about.

          Hi Thomas, thanks for your response.

          suchmaschinenmonitor.de - (7)

          seo-ranking.com (6)

          rebajas.guru(2)

            So, these are sites that scraped your post and then linked back to it? If that's the case, the links are good, in a sense - they help Google remove the duplicates. I'm not sure what you mean by "there are 2-3 always".

            What does your link profile look like outside of this. If there are 66 links like this, and these are the only 66 links you have, it's possible you could be at risk. If these are 66 out of 6,000 links, then I probably wouldn't worry about it, especially if they're not paid links or somehow engineered (part of a link network, etc.).
