      Hello,

      I have had a look on webmaster tools and Moz and can see lots of bad links on Moz only.

      I am thinking whether to disavow them and was wondering if you could you let me know if it is possible to have a look at your current disavow file? I do not currently know what links were included the previous time.

      Is there a way to check if there are any links in the file at all?

      I thought I would raise this question as there is a lot of negative info about the disavow tool.

        Hello,

        Yes you can download it. Go to disavow your links via https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/disavow-links-main then you will see the old file there you can also download it from there. I would recommend backing it up before you upload a new one as a standard anyway.

        Hope that helps.

          Hi

          Thank you for your response, once I go to this page what do I do from there?

          I don't see an old file just two drop downs with the two websites I run.

          Thank you.

            They say a image speaks a thousand words, so please see attached for an image of what you should see. You might need to click on the big scary disavow rest assured nothing will blow up (or has yet to for me at least)

              • If links have been disavowed, do they still show in crawl reports?
