      Hi,

      Is there a defined file format for Google disavow file name? Does it has to be disavowlinks.txt or can we do this like domain-name-date.txt ?

      Also, since Google does not share their data with Moz, how does MOz updates its spam score after we disavow the bad links? Do we need to connect Google search console with Moz?

        Hi there,

        The filename for the disavow file doesn't matter, as you can point to it yourself when you upload it to Google.
        Moz does not take your disavowed links into account as far as I'm aware, they have their own proprietary technology to identify sites that are more likely to be spam.

        Martijn.
