: Finding bad links to use for the Google disavow links tool So, I have found domains that link to my site, and they seem to be banned as searching for site:domain.com on them doesn't produce

You can get good free data by searching through a month or more of your website's log files. Anytime somebody clicks to your site from another site their browser sends the other site as a "referrer". Web servers typically include referrer information in the log files.

As long as the site that is linking to you sent even a single click your way during the time period in which you are searching the logs, then you will find the links and be able to disavow them.

the best idea is to login to your Google Webmaster Tools, where you will see all the sites that are linking to your domain.

You'll have to check them one by one and try to remove the links from the bad ones. If you cannot (for whatever reason) remove the backlink to your domain, then you can add those sites or the whole domains to the disavow tool.

For example to add 1 domain you may upload to the disavow tool a .txt file with this content:

domain:a-bad-link-domain.com
