Fair point, but can't one make the argument that just because I disavowed all 40 at once, it won't necessarily mean I put them there? I mean I could have just wanted to remove as many bad ones as I wanted all at once right?
This is probably what I'll have to do. If it ain't broke don't fix it
Ofcourse, you can't think narrowly that "oh shit, these pbn are de-indexed, that means they out to get me" chances are, it was those pbns that fucked up.
and hey, think of the people who got blasted 1 million NSEO from those fivveer gigs
chances are, some of those links are from recently/soon to be penalized sites too
IM is all about chance and luck, just remember
I been manual actioned before, i recorded EVERYTHING i did, everytime i build a link, buy a link, disvow a link, edit a backlink, i record it down, im know what im doing
so when i got penalized, i went back and removed as much junk as possible.
Google knows, dicks do NSEO, people do put each other down, cuz they too stupid to outrank them instead.
But instead of caring, they just act like they give zero shits.
But anyways, without blabbing on
What i would do in your position right now is, carefully go through your backlinks every few days, continue to disvow the spammy ones, like forum profiles.
There is nothing agaisnt the rules of maintaing your site.
Disvow tool is there to "get rid of anything, you don't want there, that you can't manually reach out to remove" afterall.
