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.

  1. Open the Backlinks tab — Go to SEO, Rankings and checks, Backlinks, and scroll to Review your backlinks and drop the harmful ones.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Download the file — Press Save and download the disavow file and upload it yourself in Google Search Console. Nothing is sent to Google from here.
