Google's Disavow Link Tool is Not a Reset Button for Your Link Profile

Before you upload your first batch of links to the disavow tool be sure they are actually links you want removed. Is that link actually hurting your SEO? It's easy to get trigger happy and accidentally disavow or remove links that were actually helping your site do better in the search results. Let's say you upload a list of 25 links you want Google to no longer count. 7 of them are actually really bad and you didn't build them, 12 of them are not-so-great links a cheap SEO company placed for you 2 years back and the rest you're just a little unsure of. What if those links you weren't so sure of were actually good links? You just undercut your own link profile. Unless you are 99.9% sure that a link is causing harm (or will somewhere down the road) I would be hesitant to submit it to the disavow tool.
