BL more then 1L

[minister9310]

I recently bought a domain that already has a BL 176,334
may be some body was using it for drugs or something, most of the links are related to drugs and link are from germany
is it bad for me or how I can be benefited from it?

I am using the domain for pet classified

Since the backlinks are primarily related to drugs, they may not be directly relevant to your pet classified website. Search engines value relevance, so having backlinks from unrelated sources might not positively impact your website's ranking in search results.

If search engines identify a domain with a history of spammy or unrelated backlinks, there is a possibility of negative associations being made. This can affect your website's reputation and SEO

Yes I think so. By disavowing those bad backlinks, you're essentially cleaning up your link profile and showing search engines that you're focused on quality rather than shady practices. This can help improve your site's overall reputation and potentially boost your rankings in search results.

Keep in mind though, that disavowing should be done carefully and only for truly harmful or irrelevant backlinks. It's not something you should do for every backlink you're unsure about.

Search engines consider numerous signals when evaluating a website's ranking, and backlinks are just one of those factors. Disavowing bad backlinks alone may not result in an immediate or noticeable improvement in your site's performance.

Focus on other aspects as well, such as creating high-quality content, improving user experience, and building quality backlinks, etc
