The show whether reavowing had any discernible benefit. Conclusions Should we still be using the disavow tool In some cases the answer to this is yes. If you have links that are obviously there for mostly SEO reasons then its best to disavow these so that they dont cause you to get a manual action in the future. Also we want to be sure that Google isnt using these links in any sort of algorithmic calculations that take link quality into account.  uses links. I think that it is unlikely that filing a disavow will cause a site to see a big improvement in rankings unless the site is using it to recover from a sitewide manual action.


Others will disagree with me however. In fact a recent Moz blog post showed a possible Kazakhstan Phone Number List recovery from an algorithmic suppression shortly after a site filed a disavow. I think that in this case the recovery may have been due to a big algorithm change that SEOs call Fred that happened at the same time rather than the filing of a disavow file. In reality though no one outside of Google knows for sure how effective the disavow tool is now. We know that Google says we should still use it if we find unnatural links pointing to our site. As such my advice is that if you have unnatural links you should still be disavowing. Id love to hear what you think.
