We ran a poll late last year asking did Google's disavow
link tool work for you or not?
As you know, the Google Disavow Tool launched in October of
2012. Since then webmasters and SEOs have been obsessed with it and using it
all the time.
But does it work? Does it help you improve your rankings and
remove penalties? Well, I know for a fact it does help remove penalties, but
does that lead to better rankings always? Not always.
We polled our audience and with 670+ responses and only 13%
of those said using this tool worked for them. 37% said they are not sure if it
worked or not and 50% said they are confident it had no impact.
Here is the pie chart:
