: Should I disavow natural backlinks on forums? I was running backlinks analysis and it shown me some suspisious backlinks on forums. These links are natural, as users of these forums shared links

@Megan663

No, you don't need to worry about those links if they are relevant or shared in the related place.

But, if you found any malicious or unnatural backlink then you need to remove them immediately.

To do this,

Step 1: Go to the disavow links tool page of Microsoft.

Step 2: Select your website.

Step 3: Click Disavow links.

Step 4: Click Choose file.

You should keep them if:
- If they are normal urls (not with weird parameters)
- The forum is of proper ranking (not spammy, decent reputation etc)
- The forum is about the same general stuff as you have (eg: forum->cars & you->puppies = useless)

If it doesn't harm you, don't disgard. Backlinks have value in Google, but quality over quantity, but a backlink is a backlink. Maybe it's not the most optimal place to get linked from, but if users click the link and visit your site, who cares? You just got a visiter :)

PS: Bing! goes with the quantity over quality logic, so that will benefit.
