SEO question
 

Looking for suggestions regarding low quality backlinks.

What is the best practice to deal with low quality backlinks pointing to your website ?

Disavow?

Make a new website.

I see 2 low quality replies, best practice to deal with them?

If you have also high quality backlinks, it doesn't matter that you have some low quality backlinks.

So i suggest to find more high quality backlinks and leave the low quality backlinks.

More quality backlinks on your niche will help IMHO of course ! To be honest I never tried the disavow tool but I saw that more high quality backlinks always help !

Try to get them removed first. If (when) they do not remove them, then definitely disavow the link

check out monitor backlinks. You can have a free trial, it is cheap, you link it to your own GA and kaboum. It pretty much tells you what to do with your back link profile
Check your bad backlinks and your competitors good backlinks - Monitor Backlinks

Alright that's a suggestion!

Have you ever disavowed low quality/spammy backlinks and seen positive movement from that ?

Do you site has a penalty?

It's easier to make a new website with new backlinks profile, than to get "cleaned up" in google.

You may think this is a low quality reply, but it will save you years trying to get out of google penalty box.

I disavowed the links from my site but it made zero difference and Google even years later doesn't show me any love.

Yes I did and I saw a significant increase in organic traffic 2 weeks after the disavow.
But the sites that had those spammy links were kind of recent. So their back link profile was not massive. Hence the bad links were really affecting it

Yeah, try to get these bad links deleted first, contact the sites owners about it. I think if you have high quality backlinks (aka great link profile) then there is no need to worry.

Try to get them removed first, if that doesn't work, then disavow.

Any traffic is valuable, even bots.

This is probably the best answer. You may see them as low quality, G may not care so you don't know if disavowing them will make any difference.

One of the things people forget that G has not is simply that if you have ALL high quality back links using just the right keywords and coming form just the right sites, your trying to rank for that and they will nail you.

As long as you are not Flooded with those links dont worry about them. Build your niche and even from time to time add in a poor quality one of your own. Make sure its similar.

For instance you are working the Blonde niche.
Links from ONLY blonde sites is ok but links from blonde sites that also focus Big tits Big ass big legs and teen with blonde is better.

So then if I post one from a brunette site it does not matter. All of the ones you have are niche specific. Blondes of some sort.

A diversified backlink profile is essential.
