Hi guys. I heard many good things about "Disavow" tool which can be used do disalow backlinks from certain websites when you can't remove them.
In my case i have some website with number of backlinks from adult websites. Once i was running some competition and all contestants were required to put voting link on their website long long ago, but i notice that many websites still keeping that link even the competition is finished long time ago.
My website is not porno or adult related at all and i am interested if that backlinks hurting my website and would adding them to disavow help in my rankings? If yes then what steps i should do to get best results?

But for the most part, you can just add those links to the Google Disavow Tool and it will ignore them and not attribute them in any way towards your rankings in the SERPS. Once they're added to the Disavow Tool, it's as though they don't exist simply because Google will completely disavow them.
However, not all links from adult sites can hurt your rankings. While most adult (pron) sites do get whacked since they mostly like to engage in nefarious link building schemes to try and increase their rankings. Many of them get whacked by Google for some reason. But if you already have a wide, diverse back link portfolio already, (links from any different sites). It probably wont hurt your rankings just keeping them and not disavowing them. The trick is to carry on building highly relevant and related links from sites in the same industry/niche as yours.
So much so that it kind of counters them out. Because if you have all these other high quality backlinks linking to your site. All the other not so good backlinks you have wont really have any significant impact on your sites rankings. And it could actually hinder and lower your rankings by disavowing them. Even though they are from adult sites.
The only thing to do is try it and see what happens to your rankings after about a month of doing it. If after a month there is no change then you'll probably be fine. But if there is a lowering of rankings, you could then go about building some better backlinks to improve your rankings, or, just un-disavow those links from the disavow tool and see what happens.
Hope this helps Abid!
Mike. Well, one thing I do know, is that adding links to the Disavow Tool, only tells Google to ignore those links. It doesn't actually remove those links from that site and you'll still have to go about cleaning them up and trying to remove them. To do that you can find the contact options for those sites. Some sites may have a contact us page with a form you can use. While others you may have to do a bit more digging to find the email address of the site owner. You can get that by doing a whois mostly unless they are using domain privacy. But you can also find out who the web host is and send them a message requesting them to remove the links as well. Most good web hosts will do that or forward the message onto the actual site owner for you.
