All of them were good advice but what if you’ve got a site that’s got
hundreds of links? You can’t afford to take the time to click on every
single link to find out whether or not the site is spammy and something
you’d never want your website associated with. You need a way to
generally streamline the process without having to take hours or days to
finish.
The best way is to look at all of your links in a general way by
going to majestic.com or one of the other sites that allow you to see
all of your backlinks in one spot. Once you’ve pulled up your list,
you’re going to be looking for some general red flags. In general, any
domain name with the words article, directory, press, SEO, or submit in the URL are spammy sites. You can feel safe adding those links to your disavow file
.
After you’ve cleaned out those obvious candidates, look for the
originating country that the site is coming from. If the URL ends in
.ru, .pl, .mx, .pk, or any other of the dozens of countries that are
riddled with spammers, you’re pretty safe eliminating the link. The odds
are good that it’s a spammy, useless link that will do you more harm
than good when Google finally updates Penguin.
If you’ll look at a Google page listing for popular keywords like
“skip bins,” you’ll see sites in the number one and two positions that
won’t be there once the update happens. After that day, your site will
be perfectly positioned to rise up in the ranks if you’ve done your
homework ahead of time.
