Google’s Disavow Tool Doesn’t Work With Search Console Domain Properties via @MattGSouthern http://bit.ly/2WZLJFQ Google’s disavow links tool apparently doesn’t work with the new domain properties in Search Console. This was discovered yesterday by Kristen Stack who alerted us to the issue on Twitter:
Domain properties were introduced as a way to streamline the process of adding domain variants. Instead of verifying the www, non-www, HTTP, and HTTPS versions individually you can simply add a domain property which automatically pulls in data for all variations of a domain. It has now come to light that adding a domain property also removes the ability to disavow links pointing to the domain. In addition, those who verify exclusively with a domain property also lose access to the old Search Console and all the features that haven’t been ported over yet. The disavow tool is among the legacy features that haven’t been ported over yet, but it’s still accessible from the old Search Console as long as your domain variants are verified individually. Is the disavow links tool still necessary?According to recent comments from Google’s John Mueller, there are some within the company who are in favor of removing the disavow links tool. Here’s his statement from a Reddit thread (emphasis mine):
Mueller refers to the fact that Google’s algorithm has a way of identifying bad links and ignoring them when it comes to determining where a page should rank. If you’re not comfortable with putting all your trust in an algorithm to disregard spammy links, then you can continue to access the disavow tool by avoiding the use of domain properties.
