New Spam Analysis Tool Results Questions

[HashtagHustler]

First off, I am incredibly excited about this tool.

Secondly, I have a slew of questions, but the ones that are lingering for me are as follows.

There are a few URLS that we used to control which are showing up in our list as spammy. The websites no longer exist as of roughly a week ago and I presume they still show up simply because of the last indexing.  That being said, if a website doesn't exist anymore, yet the link is showing up in our GWMT or MOZ, is it still necessary to disavow? Is that overkill?

http://alcoholdrugrehablosangeles.com/ is an example of a website we used to control and I have removed.

My second lingering question is if there are a handful of links that are registering as spammy, and I presume it is due to lack of content/duplicate content, and I move that content to its appropriate place on another website and 301 that domain to its new home, will the "spam score" carry over?

The disavow tool is a the last step of a process Google outlines for dealing with spammy links. The first step being asking for the links to be removed... Since you control those sites and have deleted them you've accomplished the removal of the link, so no need to disavow. Mozscape will catch on as the index is recrawled.

For the second question, the spam score is calculated on site, so if the site where the content finds a new home has a low / non-spam score the content should lose its spammy associations.  It sounds like you're cleaning up things appropriately.

Sounds good! That's what I was hoping for.

I was warned early on as the Disavow is a very very powerful tool and to use it as a final step, so I have been trying to be very strategic with my usage etc.

Thanks!
