There are a few things you can do to disavow toxic links. The most important thing is to identify the source of the links. If you can identify who is responsible for the link, you can contact them and ask them to remove it. If you can not identify the source, you can use Google’s Disavow Tool. This tool allows you to tell Google that you don’t want certain links to be counted as part of your backlink profile. Keep in mind that this is a last resort option and should only be used if you can not get the toxic link removed any other way.
Ask to Have Them Manually Removed. The first and best step is to contact the linking websites and have them physically remove your links
If you have a few bad links pointing to your website, the best course of action is to contact the website owners and ask them to remove the links. This is by far the most effective way to deal with toxic links, as it will remove the link from your site completely.
However, sometimes website owners are resistant to removing links, or they may not even be aware that their site is linking to yours. In these cases, you can use Google’s disavow tool. The disavow tool allows you to tell Google which links you don’t want them to take into account when evaluating your site. It’s important to note that you should only use this tool as a last resort, and only after exhausting all other options for having the link removed.
To use the disavow tool, simply create a text file that contains all of the bad links that you want Google to ignore. Then upload this file through the disavow tool interface. Once you do this, Google will no longer take these links into account when determining your site’s rank in search results.
Upload Disavow File
If you have a website, you may have received an email from Google Search Console notifying you of toxic links pointing to your site. These are links that Google has determined are unnatural or artificial, and they can negatively impact your site’s ranking in search results.
To protect your site, you can upload a disavow file through Google Search Console. This file tells Google which links to ignore when determining your site’s ranking.

When creating your disavow file, be sure to include only the links that you believe are truly toxic. If you’re unsure about a link, it’s best to leave it out of the file. You can always add it later if needed.
To get started, sign into your Google Search Console account and select the property that represents your website. Then click on “Disavow Links” under the “Security & Manual Actions” section.
On the next page, click “Choose File” and select the text file containing the list of toxic links that you want to upload. Finally, click “Submit.”
It can take some time for Google to process your disavow file and update its search results accordingly. In the meantime, continue monitoring your website for any new toxic links so that you can add them to the file as needed.
