      Hey Moz Friends,

      Should I include following spam link urls in disavow file or not? OR Will Google handle automatically? These type I have thousands urls.

        Sites like that will not do any harm (they won't do anything for your rankings to be fair). I wouldn't worry about disavowing, Google will be well aware of them and discount them, they won't penalise you.

          Thanks for reverting me. Can you share any article or forum where Google says that Google will discount these type links and won't penalize.

            The Globe is a known spam network and you should disavow links, at the least - from all spam sites. There have been several posts here over the past few months with users either seeing a dive in their results (and then I check their backlinks, finding billions of globe ones) or sharing their own disavow files. In most instances, most users have agreed that The Globe is a nasty spammy network which looks like it is link selling, which could potentially (in some circumstances, not all) lead to negative SEO impacts

            If you identify pages as being part of The Globe network, I would strongly advise you to disavow them. We've had to disavow thousands for some clients who were negatively impacted and removing them did help

            They are spammy link lists. The pages serve no function or purpose, other than (apparently) SEO. Google say time and again, these types of pages and links clutter up the web and cause lots of problems. They don't like these. Just because a web-pages isn't some kind of satanic gambling bdsm site, that doesn't mean it is a good link that you should keep

            These days, standards are higher (IMO). Say no to these kinds of links

              I disagree, but I know there are lots of people on both sides of the fence on this one!

              "The globe is a known spam network", so one would assume Google is aware and just ignores it.

              Google say (highlighting is me):
              "Google works very hard to make sure that actions on third-party sites do not negatively affect a website. In some circumstances, incoming links can affect Google’s opinion of a page or site. For example, you or a search engine optimizer (SEO) you’ve hired may have built bad links to your site via paid links or other link schemes that violate our quality guidelines." - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2648487?hl=en

              And John Mueller said (highlighting is me):
              "Random links collected over the years aren't necessarily harmful, we've seen them for a long time too and can ignore all of those weird pieces of web-graffiti from long ago. Disavow links that were really paid for (or otherwise actively unnaturally placed), don't fret the cruft." - https://twitter.com/JohnMu/status/1088929651593039872

              If you didn't go out and generate those links, I wouldn't worry about them.

              Disavowing a known spam link site does not help Google clear up

                I hear what you are saying. Like you say there are people on both sides of the fence, I get rid of them and I am pretty sure I've seen some examples where it has actually benefited results 🙂

                  I have heard the same, but experience shows that disavowing them most certainly helps as of 2/12/2020.

                  There is a utility that can find every globe domain in a MOZ Linking Domains CSV file, and its free.

                  https://dynamic.domains/disavow-utility.zip

                  Just use the_worlds_most_visited in the keyword field, and it will find every single globe domain in your file.

                    That is just not the case. I saw the same from google, but disavowing globe domains helps in a big way.
