Your domain or website will most likely get some bad links over time. These links can arise for various reasons, including
- Links from hacked websites that steal text, images or other media from your site and or link to it.
- Links from unknown sources such as website toplists, warez, po**
- Links due to poor link building. Whether self-inflicted or because a site is no longer maintained or has started to spam.
With the free version of SEM Rush you can start a backlink audit. Backlink sources are analyzed and SEM Rush shows you a "Toxicity Score" for each source.
When the audit is finished, click on the Audit tab and then proceed as follows:
- Filter the websites with the highest Toxicity Score
- Then select all of them and add them to Disavow (unfortunately, in the free version you can only add 5 links at a time )
When all harmful backlink sources have been added to the Disavow list, click on the Disavow tab.
- Click on "Export to TXT"
- Go to the following URL https://search.google.com/search-console/disavow-links and upload the txt file.
