      Hi Y'all.

      Can't seem to find an article on disavowing a single page.  Do i use A, B, or submit both A and B?

      Example:

      A.

      http://disavowexample.com

      B.

      http://www.disavowexample.com

      Which one does Google prefer?  I know for some I just find the canonical url of the page (which show www,) but wanted your expert advice!

      Thanks

        Whichever one your website uses as default.

          If you want to disavow the whole domain, use this:

          domain: website.com

          When you submit, I'd submit to both www and non-www.  But to get rid of a whole domain just use the above.  Also, space after : or not doesn't matter.

          • Domain:website.com or
          • Domain: website.com
