Rant: my client site went from page 4 to page 2 in 5 weeks after I killed 40 spammy directory links
I was ready to quit SEO after 6 months of nothing, but cleaning up that junk and building 8 real niche edits did more than 200 junk links ever did, so how do you all decide which old links to actually disavow?
Wait, does disavowing actually do anything anymore? I thought Google pretty much ignores that tool these days unless you're dealing with a manual action. Feels like those 40 links were probably just noise and the 8 niche edits are what actually moved the needle.
