Jhai Mitchell: I have been busy fixing and Balance my link profile. do you think I'm getting anywhere? Before on the left after on the right. I've done 2 rounds of link removal outreach and about to use the disavow tool. My over all traffic has dropped but I'm getting more Australian hits than USA hits now.
W.E. Jonk: Is Australia the target country? That is, are you mainly focussed on Australia? If that is the case I would be very careful with removing links, in general. In other words maybe G is getting better or adjusted your site at/for localisation. ;

The reason I am saying this is because in your screenshot you marked (with a red line) domains that I would not disavow.
Jhai Mitchell: Really because on of the websites is not "accessible by my browser" i think it may have malware ;
W.E. Jonk: +Jhai Mitchell ;wrong thread ? ;
Jhai Mitchell: No, some of the links I'm removing that are shown in the red box have ;"not ;accessible by my browser" and malware. Surely they are not good sites to be linked to. ;
W.E. Jonk: I see. But I still wouldn't disavow the domain YouTube or Google. Maybe only the URL's that give that notification. However I am sure you can contact YouTube and Google about those URL's without touching the disavow tool.
Jhai Mitchell: I won't be ;disavowing YouTube or Google lol!
