Disavow domain ignored
-
Hi
We did a domain disavow some months ago and webmaster tools told us those links were not pointing at us anymore. But suddenly the same domain has appeared again in our external links list according to webmaster tools. Our disavow document still contains that same domain as a disavowed domain, so we don't understand why is still being taken into account.
Thanks

Hi,
Don't Panic! it is still working. when you add a domain to the disavow file it sort of no-follows that domain (or ignores it if you will) but just like no-follow links it can still show up in your webmaster tools.
You can find further info on it here - http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2330944/7-Things-You-May-Not-Know-About-Googles-Disavow-Tool
So in short everything is working as it should so don't worry!

Hi
Don't worry. We have seen the same issue.
We disavowed at the start of 2014 and the links still show in Webmaster Tools
I'm sure eventually they will update the Links to show an Accurate list
I would say the most important message you are looking to see , is the one from Google Acknowledging the Disavow or if you have received a penalty , the message from Google saying the Penalty has been uplifted.
