: Should I disavow backlinks from crawler based websites? I analysed the backlink profile of my website and found that a lot of websites which generate their data by crawling the web, were pointing

@Michele947

I've had the same concerns in the past, but I left them to, be as they are. The positions of my websites haven't dropped off after any Google update. However, it depends on the website you are getting the links from. If it is trustworthy like Amazon, it is fine... but if it's not, disavow them (just to be sure).

You shouldn't need to do anything as long as:


These sites are linking to thousands of other sites
You didn't in any way request to get listed (the linking site added all the links on their own volition).
You don't have any manual actions against your site listed in Google Search Console.


Google can't penalize linked sites from a site like this. There are just too many sites linked and none of the linked site owners can do anything about it.

The only time that you need to disavow links is when there is some sort of penalty against your site that needs to be dealt with.

Yes, use disavow tools, if your site does not have too much good backlinks. Big sites like Amazon, Facebook and twitter does not care about bad links that point to you, also it is painful for big webmster to analyse all kind of website, so generally Google may use some kind of ratio, to know weather this site deserve any penalty or not.

So, If you'r site is new and have not many good backlinks, then always always use disavow tools, if you disavow them then it does not mean you have just stop some juicyrank that passes to your webpage, generally that kind of website does not have any value or very little value which might does not help you in ranking. So use them, you're just stopping that bucket who have only 1 mm Water.
