Disavow straightaway? - Urgent

[seoman10]

Is there any implication with disavowing straightaway from Google's perspective?

I know good practice is to request removal from the web host, however I don't have the time to contact and process the requests.

Any thoughts?

I've removed many manual penalties by submitting only a disavow file. Google can't really track which links were removed by you or naturally so they can't consider that when deciding on your reconsideration request.

Yes - just sent disavow file but also try to clean some of  them later. I found that i can clean around 5-10% of spam links after communication.

Only implication can be messing your link profile after disavowing and sudden drop of links. They can drop your ranking too and you can't recover so quick as you wish.

Thank you
Most of them are at best very low quality, with one or two that are worse.
I may have made the odd mistake but I'm fairly certain I'm at least 80% accurate.
I used, trust flow, circulation flow, domain authority, spam score, checked if the site was indexed by Google and did a visual relevance check.

What you think to my method?

I used more sophisticated but it's look similar.

You need to get all links from SearchConsole, OSE, Ahrefs, Majestic and Webmeup. From this list only Ahrefs require payment but you can find someone with subscription to get backlinks. Then dump everything in mega spreadsheet with URL only and remove duplicates. Later you need to use Marie Haynes formulas:

and create list of domains with backlinks.

Domains with TF <1 and ref. domains <5 can be disavowed w/o even looking on them. They're trash.

And later you need to do manual inspection link-by-link and domain-by-domain to see is it legit or doesn't. You also can look whois data and how Google sees this site using cache. I also don't like the private whois registrations. And if there is difference between crawler see vs. user - "this isn't domain i'm looking for".

Of course this is time intensive method. But you can split to few persons (using different IPs!) to speedup checking. One sheet is filled then you can see who to disavow or keep. And next recheck you only need to add new backlinks and do check only on them.

Do you need subscriptions from all of those tools to export backlinks? I thought the free accounts limited the view unless you paid. Do you have a way around it?

All of them except Ahrefs comes with "free" versions and you can export almost everything.
