getting rid of bad links

hey there, we just found out we had a ton of bad links coming into our site, we added them into the 'blocked domains' section of the incoming links plug in

is that all we need to do? or should we also send the disavow file to google?

if we do need to do the disavow file we just send them a list of domains in a google doc with no h t t p:// or w w w. in front of the domain right?

does it need to be in a spreadsheet form? or just a standard google doc?

thanks for any help

really not 1 simple yes or no reply?

Hello man,

To be honest i would wait to see for any negative movements before adding them to disavow file. Google is getting way better at detecting such spam and usually just ignore it. So watch carefully your rankings and if you notice some negative impact of this link then go and add them to disavow file. Before that doesn't make much sense as is shitload of manual work with dubious benefits.

actually are rankings have been dropping for a few months and cant figure out why, that is why we are trying it

is it really that much work? you just make a .txt file and upload to them right?

yep, do that and upload them in the disavow section in webmaster tools

lets say we wanted to hire on a 'webmaster' to take care of checking into all of our off page seo stuff, where could we find a reliable one that wouldnt charge an arm and a leg?

on this site everyone we talk to seems to just want to post content on link farms but we dont wanna get spanked for that
