Yahoo’s ‘Completely Clear’ Stance On Disavowing ‘Irrelevant’ Links
There is a step that must be completed before any business, small or large, begins to sell a product or service. That step is market research. Marketing Research can be defined as the process of gathering recording and analyzing the data related to certain products and services. Should I use the disavow tool for irrelevant links? In other words, should you tell Google to ignore links from sites that aren’t related to yours? The answer is no.
Google’s own John Mueller jumped in to say this: “Just to be completely clear on this: you do not need to disavow links that are from sites on other topics. This tool is really only meant for situations where there are problematic, unnatural, PageRank-passing links that you can’t have removed.” Google updates and manual action penalties have caused a lot of webmasters to re-evaluate their link profiles. Many have scrambled to get various links to their sties taken down, often going overboard (or even way overboard). For the record, Google still views backlinks as “a really, really big win in terms of quality for search results.”
