Should you set an hreflang if the website is only in one language
Hello Daniel, What Casey is correct. Also, keep in mind 2 things: If your site has a ccTLD, there is no need to do nothing. Not having a ccTLD, you can set the preferred country+Language in Search Console. Here some really useful resources about that: Multi-regional and multilingual sites - Google Search Console International checklist - Moz Blog Using the correct hreglang tag - Moz Blog Guide to international website expansion - Moz Blog Tool for checking hreflang anotations - Moz Blog Hope it helps. Best luck. GR

Should you disavow links from good websites that mention your brand in a negative way
This is a bad idea and definitely an abuse of the tool. If the link is from a good/trusted site irrespective of the negative view it will pass decent DA to you. The link will still exist and traffic will still follow it. Essentially, disavowing a link is telling Google that the link is a threat to your site. It’s a serious action to take. So you shouldn’t disavow links indiscriminately. Like Google says, you could hurt your own SEO, and that’s not what you want. If its an issue the first thing to always do is to contact the site owner to get it removed. The disavow tool is to stop spammy links and defeat negative SEO attacks (which I have suffered) not as described in your question. I hope that helps

Serve content from sub domain using http requests or via IIS proxy
If you set up a reverse proxy properly, the search engines will treat the content in www.website.co.uk/blog/ as normal content on that main site. It's not trivial to set up, but it's designed for specifically this kind of scenario (e.g. a subdirectory displaying content using a technology that can't be installed on the main-site server.) You'll also want to make certain things like cookie persistence, Analytics etc have been accounted for. Hope that helps? Paul
