      Hello my web has been hit for external links maybe because of the work of SEO consultants y had before.

      The web name is http://www.propdental.com

      Some seo consultants will try to use the disalow tools on webmaster tools

      other recomends to do another web with the content wich is very rich and start over again with a new domain

      I would like to know what is your opinion

      thank you very much

        I would work on cleaning up the existing site first.You have to make a sincere effort at removing links before using the disavow tool.

        Might be a good idea to grab a new domain and park it now so it begins aging in case you are unsuccessful at unwinding the penalty.

          Do what Irving said, park the domain just in case you need it.

          Use opensiteexplorer.org to get a clear picture of your backlinkprofile and start cleaning up suspicious and bad links that point to your site: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?page=1&site=www.propdental.com&sort=page_authority&filter=&source=external&target=page&group=0

          Look at the domain and page authorities of the page linking to you, look at the title of the page, look at the link anchor text or image their using. Don't like what you see? Add them to the Google Disavow Tool

          You could also always contact the webmaster of the site pointing/linking to your website and kindly ask them to remove the link or adjust the link (sometimes adjusting the anchor text is enough).

          This should help you on your way back to a healthy backlink profile.

          Offcourse besides cleaning up the backlinks, gain some new ones and prehaps do some guestposting or something to influence things more positively.

          Hopes this helps you a bit.

          kind regards

          Jarno
