Disavow links are unwanted links that are reported to Google so that the search engine does not take them into account when crawling and indexing your site. Please note that adding a link to the “Disavow” tab in our system does not mean that you’ve marked it as unwanted for Google. To report such backlinks to Google, use the Disavow links tool. Learn more about this tool in the Search Console Help Center . To give you a more realistic idea of what’s going on, disavowed links will impact the data under the “Anchors” and “Pages” tabs.
