You Don’t Want a Google Disavow Links Option

Do you really want a disavow links option? I don’t. With the recent Penguin update, the SEO community has been talking a lot lately about negative SEO and disavowing links. (For the record, negative SEO doesn’t just refer to links , but for this article, let’s assume it does.) SEOs afraid of getting penalized for “bad links” have been screaming to Google, asking for a way to disavow links that they claim they didn’t create. They say that it’s the only way to regain ranking drops from Penguin, and that it’s necessary to prevent negative SEO. (Note: Simply disavowing links probably won’t help you recover from Penguin. You’ll most likely have to create lots of new links to make up for the ones that used to count.) I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t want a disavow links option at all. Sure, it seems like the cure-all solution...
