-
Hi There,
Just checking Google webmasters for one website. I have download a list links that was show in webmasters under "Links to Your Site". And found that there are few not found urls that or expired domain. May be that belongs to very old links building on bookmarking websites.
I am thinking to submit all these links list in disavow links.
Your thoughts.?

Thanks Matt,

The general rule of thumb is that you shouldn't disavow links unless you have a WMT message telling you your backlink profile is suspicious (indicating you have a manual penalty). Even then, be VERY careful, as the disavow tool can destroy your site's entire ranking.
-
Whether you should disavow them depends on whether they were actually bad links and whether you are under the web spam teams microscope. Have you received any messages from them? Do a bit of research into the domain the link is coming from and its own link profile.
Also bare in mind that if the link is no longer there, they will automatically be removed from Webmaster Tools eventually anyway.
Matt

UTM Links Showing Up as Separate Pages in Google Analytics
Hey everyone, I was just looking at landing pages in Google Analytics, and in addition to just the URL of the landing page, the UTM links are being listed as separate pages. Is this normal? I anticipated seeing the landing page URL and then using the secondary dimension to see source/medium. If this isn't normal, what would I check next?
