Review backlinks and make a disavow file (Pro)
Every backlink rated harmful, worth a look or fine, with the reason, and a disavow file built from the ones you choose. Pro, with the Backlinks plan in your Zinn® account.
Open the Backlinks tab — Go to SEO, Rankings and checks, Backlinks, and scroll to Review your backlinks and drop the harmful ones.
Read the verdicts — Show Harmful, Harmful and worth a look, or Every link. Each row has the linking page, the link text, its spam score and a verdict with the reason.
Choose what to disavow — Tick Whole site or This page on the links you want Google to ignore. Most sites should never disavow anything; the screen says so plainly.
Download the file — Press Save and download the disavow file, then upload it yourself with Google's Disavow links tool. It is not in Search Console's menu: open it from Google's help page on disavowing links. Nothing is sent to Google from here.
