Now Bing lets Webmasters disavow inbound links and micromanage their site backlinks for better Bing SEO.
Webmasters do not have control over which sites link back to them, and
as poor quality sites and spam sites continue to link back to your sites
over the years, any site can accumulate a bad link profile, which can
later lead to Google penalties and low search engine traffic.
Disavow Inbound Links
While I continue to be surprised by the new Bing Webmaster tools, and the new SEO reports,
in yet another pioneering effort Bing has allowed Webmasters to fine
tune their back link profile, and disavow inbound links from low quality
sites which could affect their search engine rankings. Why it would be
useful tool for SEO experts who wish to identify the bad links and
remove their votes for their clients websites, for most Webmasters it
can provide a useful way to tell search engines if they want to remove
some particular sites from contributing to their back link profile.
I think it would be particularly useful for WordPress theme designers
who use footer back links for credits, to remove bad sites using their
themes from destroying their link profile. WordPress theme designers are
particularly affected by poor back links profile as anyone can download
their themes, and adult sites using their themes can surely invite a
Google penalty – and this might be a good way for theme designers to
deny link votes from such sites.
Webmasters can disallow links by page, by directory, and by
domain. There is no limit to the number of links you can disavow, and
though Bing explains that the Webmasters should not expect any sudden
change in search engine rankings, it would help Bing search to
understand which links you distrust for any reason, and would like them
to consider less in the sites link profile.
I would understand that Google would also be working on such a tool.
while I’m sure this tool has its advantages, yet the fact that Google
has not yet implemented this feature makes me wonder that such a tool in
expert hands might be misused for link sculpting to get a highly
desired back link profile artificially, and might create unnatural link
profiles.
It is reported that Bing powers more than 30% US searches, and Webmasters can no longer afford to ignore Bing search engine. What are your thoughts on using this back link tool?
