So, if you’ve done any link building in the past, you should (and are) probably worrying about a possible penalty from Google. Out of all the backlinks pointing to your website, you wonder which are good and bad. There is no fool-proof method to know other than awaiting that dreaded “manual spam action taken” email from Google.
But, here’s a hint.
Removeem, a leading backlink remover tool has come out with a grand list of top 100 websites that is most removed by webmasters using their tool. While it is unfair to generalize, I think it is safe to assume that most of the websites listed in there are probably on the flagged list with Google (except of course, sites like blogspot and wordpress).
So, if you are worried about Google penalty and want to proactively, disavow links from your backlink list, go through the list and see if you have any from them. If yes, you might want to consider removing after checking if the article is low quality or not. (Which I assume in most cases should be.)
