Unnatural links are from low quality site, irreverent links, generated links, anchor text over optimized, so on. These link will not help you to rank(maybe for short term), but it is risky practice, can get penalty at any time. Find out those links, Try to contact linking site to remove or if you found abnormal activity from the link or effects ranking and traffic then disavow them. If those links are removed, site will be safe and gives better user experience(this may have posiive impact in ranking).

Thanks for the elaborated answer. If it will give a positive impact on ranking and traffic means, then how long it will take to see the effect?

Unnatural links Don't Help you to increase the rank or anything
They just save you from getting penalized with any update google throws at you.

But, my belief is it will give some good improvement in both ranking and traffic... are you sure about it?!

Yes, it can work this way, however Google is pretty good at discovering and ignoring those. So if you are not sure what you are doing, you can even cripple your ranking by removing links.

sometimes unnatural links may be created by spammers, so disavow the links if you found any harm to your site due to these kinds of links

 

[Lady Trieu]

Unnatural links are artificial links mainly planned to handle a page's ranking. If you have a manual action against your site for unnatural links to your site, you should try to remove those links from another site. If you can't get these links removed, then you should disavow those links to your website.

I think, this doesn't directly have impact on ranking, All those links will sometimes cause trouble to ranking, if removed, adds value to site(genuine or trusted site) and will help to boost the other ranking factors also. So not able to say how long it will take. Rank increases gradually if all other factors are good.

Yes... I agree with @AngelSeo and @Digirulz ... but some of the case studies showing; that these unnatural links removal will surely help to increase in both ranking and traffic.

some of here for reference,

• CognitiveSEO removed 1,901 unnatural links to lift a penalty and saw rankings for position #3 only three weeks after submitting the disavow file.

• Marie Haynes disavowed 50% of a client’s unnatural links to see a nice bump in traffic in less than a month.

and, what the study continues is; one site will lose around 80% of its traffic by building 2500+ unnatural links. My only question is; are you guys believe in it?

Thoughts!?

Unnatural links and spam links are not the same (usually). In the case of unnatural links Google is penalizing you for creating them and ask you to remove those links - it can be guest post, PBNs etc. In the second case is low quality, automatically created links, that no sane person would want to have to their website. Here we are talking about those.

I can't get it clearly @AngelSeo , I want to know more about the difference between unnatural and spam links.

You buy a link from BBC - this is unnatural, but not spam link. In short unnatural links are those who you created purposely to rank better.
Some shitass scrape the whole internet and post link to every site outthere including yours - that not unnatural, but is spam.

Of course the links can be both unnatural AND spammy - for example you made a GSA links (automatically created spam comments, forum posts with links etc) to your website.
