Definition
Disavowing links is the act of telling search engines to ignore specific backlinks in their ranking calculations. The process is typically used when you receive a manual penalty or discover an influx of spammy links.
Why It Matters for SEO
Identify harmful links, build a disavow file and submit it through Google Search Console. This protects your site from negative SEO and cleanup after questionable link building.
