FAQ Link Detox Boost - Frequently Asked Questions

Before using Link Detox Boost, it is important to carefully review your website, your backlink profile and address any issues that may have caused the manual penalty. This includes conducting a thorough backlink audit, and making any necessary changes to improve the quality of your website and links.

Once you have done this and have submitted a disavow file to Google, you can consider using a tool like Link Detox Boost to help recover from the penalty.

You need to closely follow the the important setup steps and a thorough audit, before running Link Detox Boost. Afterwards you can create a Disavow File and upload it to Google.

When you have received the confirmation from Google and waited another 48 hours, then you can start with Link Detox Boost.

It is generally recommended to upload all of your link data, including links from Google Search Console, into Link Detox before using the Boost feature.

This will ensure that the tool has the most complete and accurate information about your website and its links, which can help improve the effectiveness of the Boost feature. However, it is important to only boost the links that you have actually disavowed, as boosting any other links could potentially cause additional problems for your website. It is always best to carefully review and consider each link before boosting it to ensure that you are taking the appropriate action.

It is generally recommended to use the Boost feature on all disavowed links to help support your link risk management efforts. This can help improve the effectiveness of your disavow file and may help to improve your website’s rankings and traffic. However, it is important to remember that boosting disavowed links is not a guarantee that your website’s rankings and traffic will fully recover. There may be other factors at play that are affecting your website’s performance, and it is always best to carefully review and address these factors to improve your website’s overall health.

In addition to using the Boost feature on disavowed links, you can also use it on other links if you are unsure if they have been crawled by Google. This can help ensure that all of your important links are being considered by Google and can potentially improve your website’s performance. However, as mentioned earlier, it is always best to carefully review and consider each link before boosting it to avoid any potential problems.

While Link Detox Boost has been confirmed to work for manual penalties, it has also been shown to help sites recover from Penguin penalties. In order to use Link Detox Boost to recover from a Penguin penalty, you will need to first disavow any unwanted links, and then use the Boost feature to force Google to re-crawl those spammy links. This can help improve your website’s overall link profile and may help to improve its performance in search results.

It is important to note, however, that using Link Detox Boost is not a guarantee that your website will recover from a Penguin penalty. There may be other factors at play that are affecting your website’s performance, and it is always best to carefully review and address these factors to improve your website’s overall health. Additionally, the results of using Link Detox Boost may vary depending on the specific website and the severity of the penalty.

Yes, Link Detox Boost is designed to work with links from domains in different countries. The tool is not limited to a specific country or region, and can be used to boost disavowed links for websites in any country.

It is always best to carefully review your website and its links to ensure that you are using the tool in the most effective way possible.

Yes, that is correct. If you only want to check if links were crawled, you can use the unlimited reprocessing feature in your Link Detox reports. This feature allows you to check the status of your links and determine whether they have been crawled by Google.

If you want to use Link Detox Boost to boost new links that you have disavowed, you will need additional credits. These credits can be purchased in the upgrade section of the tool. If you run out of credits, you can purchase more to continue using the Boost feature. It is important to carefully manage your credits to ensure that you are able to use the Boost feature when needed.

Additionally, Link Detox Boost is able to process and verify old link data files, so even if your link data is from 2006, it can still be used with the tool.

Yes, Link Detox Boost is driven by the disavow file. The tool uses the information in the disavow file to determine which links to boost, and the process of managing the disavow file between multiple runs of Link Detox is known as “Round-Trip disavows”.

While you can use Link Detox to manage your disavow file and use it with Link Detox Boost, you can also upload disavow files that you have created manually or with other third-party tools. This allows you to use the information from these files to help improve the effectiveness of the Boost feature and to take advantage of the other features and capabilities of Link Detox Boost.

It is always best to carefully review and manage your disavow file with LRT and Link Detox, to ensure you have a consistent version.

It is generally not considered dangerous to boost too many links, as long as the links that you are boosting have been disavowed. Boosting all of the links that you have included in your disavow file can help improve the effectiveness of the file and may help to improve your website’s performance.

However, it is important to remember that boosting too many links that have not been disavowed or that are of low quality could potentially cause additional problems for your website. It is always best to carefully review and consider each link before boosting it to ensure that you are taking the appropriate action.

In general, it is not necessary to boost links slowly or to wait for Google to parse your disavow file before boosting links. You can boost all of the links that you have included in your disavow file at once, and this will not cause any problems for your website. It is always best to carefully review your disavow file and the links that it contains before boosting them to ensure that you are taking the appropriate action.

If your website has recovered from a manual action but is still struggling with rankings, it is possible that some pages on your website are still being affected by the Penguin algorithm. In this case, it may be helpful to use Link Detox Boost to force Google to re-crawl the spam links that are included in your disavow file. This can help improve the overall link profile of your website and may help to improve its performance in search results.

In general, it is recommended to use Link Detox Boost on a disavow file from any time period, as long as the links in the file have been properly disavowed. The tool is not limited by the age of the file, and can be used to help improve the performance of your website regardless of when the file was created. However, it is important to carefully review your disavow file and the links it contains before using Link Detox Boost to ensure that you are using the tool in the most effective way possible.

It is generally sufficient to use the domain of a website in your disavow file, rather than listing out all of the individual URLs on the website. This allows you to disavow all of the links on a website with a single entry in the file, which can be more efficient and easier to manage.

However, some people believe that it is necessary to recrawl every single page on a website, even if the website has been disavowed at the domain level. While this method may provide some benefits, it is not clear whether it is necessary or whether it will have a significant impact on the performance of your website. It is always best to carefully consider the specific needs of your website and the links it contains when deciding how to use the disavow file and Link Detox Boost.

In general, we recommend using Link Detox Boost on the homepage-level for domain-wide disavows, and boosting each individual page where you have found a link. This can help to ensure that all of the links on your website are being considered by Google and can potentially improve the overall performance of your website. However, you may need to use sitewide-filter=off BLP reports to find all of the links on your website, as some links may not be shown in the DTOX report for various reasons. It is always best to carefully review and consider all of the links on your website before using Link Detox Boost to ensure that you are using the tool in the most effective way possible.

After uploading your disavow file to Google, you should wait for at least 48 hours before using Link Detox Boost. This will allow Google to process the file and to update its information about your website and its links. It is also important to make sure that you have received confirmation from Google that the file has been received and processed before using Link Detox Boost.

Once you have waited for 48 hours and have received confirmation from Google, you can start a BOOST report for the links that you have disavowed. This will push Google to re-visit these links and may help to improve your website’s overall link profile. Link Detox Boost will also show you the exact date when Google re-crawled each link, which can help you to track the progress of your website and to identify any potential issues that may need to be addressed.

Overall, it is important to carefully follow the steps outlined above and to wait for 48 hours after uploading your disavow file to Google before using Link Detox Boost. This will help to ensure that you are using the tool in the most effective way possible and may help to improve the performance of your website.

The disavow file only works after the links it contains have been crawled by Google. This means that it may take some time for the file to take effect, and the exact amount of time can vary depending on how the file was created and submitted. In some cases, it can take up to 9 months for the disavow file to be fully effective if it is done incorrectly or incompletely.

When using the disavow file, it is important to understand that Google will take the disavowed links into account when it crawls them again. However, Google does not provide confirmation that the links have been crawled, either by email or in Google Search Console. The only confirmation that you will receive is that the file has been received, but this does not mean that the disavow command is in effect for the links that have been disavowed.

To help speed up the process of crawling the links in your disavow file and to track when Google crawls these links, you can use Link Detox Boost. This tool allows you to force Google to crawl the links that you want, and to track when these links are crawled. This can help to improve the effectiveness of your disavow file and may help to improve the performance of your website. Overall, we recommend using Link Detox Boost in conjunction with the disavow file to help ensure that the file is working as effectively as possible.

Google will take the disavowed links into account when they crawl them again.

They will not provide you with a confirmation per email or in Google Search Console that those links were really crawled.

The only confirmation you get is that they received the file, but that doesn’t mean the disavow command is in effect already for your disavowed links.

Using Link Detox Boost you can

• Speed up the crawling by forcing Google Bot to crawl exactly the links you want
• Track if and when Google crawled those links

Therefore we always recommend to use Link Detox Boost.

No, you cannot boost links from multiple sites in a single Link Detox Boost run. The Boost feature is always bound to the domain for which the disavows were created, so it is not possible to mix links from different websites in a single Boost run.

To use Link Detox Boost on multiple websites, you will need to create separate disavow files for each website and then run separate Boost reports for each domain. This will ensure that the Boost feature is applied correctly to each website and will help to improve the overall effectiveness of the tool. It is always important to carefully manage and track your disavow files to ensure that you are using the Boost feature in the most effective way possible.

Currently you need one credit per 300 disavowed links/domains.

Therefore it’s “cheaper” to disavow on domain level (recommended for spammy domains) than on page level.

We are aware that removing a penalty is a hard and time-consuming process.

While boosting will speed up the whole disavow process for Google, it can still have many reasons why Link Detox Boost does not work as expected for a penalty in a specific case.

You need to look into your link profile in more detail to find the answers.

• Do you have disavowed enough bad links? How does your Domain DTOXRISK look like?
• Are you suffering from an algorithmic penalty? In this case it can happen that you have to wait until the next Google Update. But with the Boost you are now prepared!
• Have you disavowed all links with high DTOXRISK? Quite often people disavow too few links because they want to hold on to stronger links that cost them a lot in the past… wrong way
• Did you upload your GSC link data file and other backlink source files in Link Detox report to be sure that no links get lost?
• Have you received more potentially bad backlinks in the last days or weeks? Please re-run your Link Detox to be sure or start a Link Alert. Could be a negative SEO issue or simply forgotten to upload GSC link data
• Have you disavowed domains or pages? It is recommended to disavow the domains.
• Have you boosted all URLs which you have disavowed?
• Have all links been re-crawled already? You can check this by using the reprocessing button in your report. This is free.
• Do you have enough good backlinks to rank again?
• Do you have any unnatural tops in your link profile, even when you clean up your report? Start a CLA report for checking it.

No, you do not have to wait for the next data refresh of Google to see if a link removal was successful.
