How will you neutralize a toxic link to your site?

There are two ways to remove poor backlinks from your website - either manually OR using Google disavow SEO tools.

The best way is to find your backlinks report from Google Analytics or Open Site Explorer (Majestic SEO is another good one).

Analyse your backlinks manually and ask yourself:

Are they consistent with the quality of your other links?

If their URL looks like an irrelevant spam site, that could be toxic

Have they been built too quickly?

If you have a lot of links built within a short period of time they can damage your site ranking

Are they low quality links from blog comments/paid directories/forum links?

Are some of the links de-indexed? You need to remove those.

There are no free tools to identify toxic links that I'm aware of, nor any that I would recommend.

The best way is to manually go through your backlinks and see how they fit in with your website's profile.

To neutralise the toxic links either contact the webmaster from those toxic link sites or disavow using Google Search Console.
