here’s a complete roadmap to help you audit backlinks, build a disavow file, upload it properly, and monitor results afterward. I’ll walk you through everything step-by-step.
✅ PHASE 1: Audit Your Backlinks
Option A: Free Tools (Basic View)
- Google Search Console
- Go to Links > Top linking sites.
- Click “More” to export your backlinks.
- Review domains and look for suspicious or irrelevant ones.
Option B: Pro Tools (Detailed Audit)
Use one of these (they offer trials or free tiers):
- Ahrefs Backlink Checker
- SEMrush Backlink Audit
- Moz Link Explorer
- Ubersuggest
Look for:
- Very low domain authority (DA)
- Irrelevant or spammy content
- Foreign language sites unrelated to your content
- Over-optimized anchor text
- Adult, gambling, pharma, payday loan links
✅ PHASE 2: Build Your Disavow File
Once you’ve identified spammy domains or URLs:
Format:
makefileCopyEdit# Disavow file for [your website name]
# Created on [date]
# Entire domains
domain:example-spamsite.com
domain:lowtrustsite.net
# Specific URLs
http://badsite.com/spam-page.html
http://anotherbadsite.org/paid-links.html
Save As:
- A plain text file:
disavow.txt - Encoding: UTF-8 or ASCII
✅ PHASE 3: Upload to Google Disavow Tool
Steps:
- Select your domain property (needs to be verified).
- Click “Disavow Links”.
- Upload your
disavow.txtfile. - Confirm submission.
✅ PHASE 4: Monitor Performance
Tools:
- Google Search Console: Check if impressions/clicks improve.
- Google Analytics: Look for organic traffic growth.
- Ahrefs or SEMrush: Monitor backlink health, rankings, and toxic link scores.
You won’t see instant results. It can take a few weeks to a few months for Google to reprocess your backlink profile and reflect improvements.

- Audit the links for toxicity or irrelevance.
