John Mueller from Google addressed concerns regarding massive link disavow lists. He was asked if having extensive disavow lists could harm a website and if removing those lists might also have negative effects. John’s response was reassuring; when asked about the level of concern, he stated it should be “zero.”
This topic is complex because it involves two related but distinct questions, both of which John answered with the same simple response.
The question was posted by Michael Martucci, who wrote:
This entire discussion originates from a post by Cyrus Shepard about disavowing all links to his website. Interestingly, this experiment coincided with a bug in the Google Search Console link report, adding to the complexity.
Link-related topics like these consistently stir up debates in the industry.
