When to Disavow

[seoman10]

I'm in the process of doing a link cleanup (nothing I have done just ended up with them).

I stumbled across one or two doc hosting sites, the domain parameters aren't bad but I don't think they drive any value and they do look a bit dodgy.  They mainly only comprise of a little bit of text and Google custom search.

1. Is there any point disavowing?

2. Could it do any harm?

1. Yes, because still Google might think that the page is low quality.
2. Yes, as the page is very low quality it might drive a signal.

The question I have is what metrics did you use to determine these are low quality sites? I would be careful disavowing because if you're not careful you could unintentionally disavow sites that are actually helping you. Were the links artificially placed (by you or another SEO), do they violate any of the quality guidelines, or are there any other reasons why you think the links are poor quality?

Thanks for your reply.

They are definitely low quality and have no relevance whatsoever. I definitely didn't post the myself, so not quite sure how they got there.
