Has anyone noticed that the site's position in search engines improves after removing bad backlinks using the Google tool (disavow tool)?

I see lots of spam links on my website. + I see organic keywords on TOP-50 is decreasing almost to 0. Maybe those links affect it ?

Yeah, it can help if the spam links are actually hurting you, but most of the time Google just ignores low-quality links. Disavow is more useful if you had a manual penalty or a big negative SEO attack. If rankings dropped for other reasons, removing links won’t magically fix it.

Yes, disavowing toxic or spammy backlinks can help, especially if Google suspects unnatural link building. If your keyword rankings are dropping and you see a lot of low-quality or irrelevant backlinks, it's worth auditing them and using the Disavow Tool. Just make sure you’re not removing good links by mistake
use tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush to assess link quality before submitting

Yes, the Google Disavow Tool works by allowing you
to tell Google to ignore low-quality, spammy,
or unnatural backlinks that could harm your
site's rankings, though it should be used sparingly
and only when you know there's a genuine problem,

Yes, bad backlinks can hurt rankings, and using the disavow tool sometimes helps if you’ve got a lot of spammy links. Just know results aren’t instant—Google takes time to reprocess, and improvements depend on how much those links were actually dragging your site down
 
Yes, bad or spammy backlinks can negatively affect your website’s rankings on Google. Using the Google Disavow Tool to disavow unnatural links tells Google to ignore them when evaluating your site, which can help improve rankings and keyword visibility.
However, the effect isn’t immediate - it usually takes a few weeks for Google to update. Besides removing bad links, you should also optimize your content and build high-quality backlinks to recover and boost your keyword rankings
 
Hey, it's definitely possible those spam links are causing issues. The disavow tool is meant to help signal to Google to ignore them. It's not a magic bullet, but for clear spam, it can be beneficial over time. Just remember it's one piece of the puzzle.
