Now we have the disavow tool in Google Webmaster Central - but should you use it? And for what links should it be used?

Great article. . . I'm kinda skeptical about the new Disavow tool and the future of backlinks. I think I'd rather wait to get a notice in Webmaster Tools before jumping the gun and start removing links I've worked hard to get.

True, Google is already so confusing and its really hard to keep up with every update. But that is good. Everyday search engines are better and better!

Thank you for sharing!

I'm with you, Ileane. I think it may cause confusion. Google is already so confusing. For most small biz peeps it is nearly impossible to keep up on what's changing.

It will be interesting to hear what the first results are like in a few weeks time and how many people ask Google to disavow all their links...

Leslie,

Thanks for the overview. For many in the site development community, this really is a source of some concern. Everyone worries about those backlinks that don't look quite right, but the task of figuring out which are OK and which should be disavowed can be daunting. Thanks for the push in the right direction!

I hope people pay attention to the guidelines of when and how to use this tool. I have a feeling that the instructions will cause confusion for some who aren't listening carefully. Thanks for the advice
