Disavow

Disavow

Disavow is a term from the field of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and refers to the possibility of removing certain backlinks from a website. Backlinks are links that point from other websites to a specific website and are considered an important factor for ranking in search engine results.

However, sometimes it can happen that a website receives unwanted or harmful backlinks, e.g. from spam websites or low-quality websites. In this case, Disavow can be used to remove these backlinks and prevent them from negatively affecting the ranking of the affected website.

Disavow is usually a last resort, as it can be difficult to remove backlinks completely and it can also have an impact on the overall ranking of the website. Therefore, it is important that webmasters and SEO specialists carefully consider whether disavow is really necessary and seek professional assistance if necessary to ensure the right decisions are made.
