How To Disavow Backlinks in Ahrefs

Updated on:
May 8, 2026
By:
Madhav Bhandari
Use this interactive demo to learn how to find and export toxic backlinks for disavowal in Ahrefs.

Quick summary

Ahrefs Site Explorer lets you filter and export low-quality backlinks so you can submit them to the Google Disavow tool and protect your site's search rankings. This step-by-step process uses the Backlink profile report to isolate dofollow links with the lowest Domain Rating for targeted disavowal.


Steps

  1. Go to Ahrefs and open Site Explorer, then search for your domain name.
  2. Navigate to Backlinks under the Backlink profile section in the left pane.
  3. Select Exclude all best links to filter out high-quality backlinks.
  4. Select Dofollow as the link type and click Show results.
  5. Sort your backlinks by DR (Domain Rating) to surface the lowest-rated links at the top of the list.
  6. Click Export to download the backlink report as a CSV file.
  7. Confirm and hit Export to complete the download.
  8. Submit your exported list of poor-quality backlinks to the Google Disavow tool to request removal.

📌 Why this matters

Disavowing toxic backlinks is a critical SEO maintenance task that prevents low-quality or spammy links from damaging your site's Domain Rating and organic search rankings. Ahrefs Site Explorer makes this process efficient by letting you filter backlinks by type and quality score, so you can quickly isolate the links most likely to trigger a Google penalty. Exporting a targeted list of dofollow backlinks with a low Domain Rating gives you the precise input needed for the Google Disavow tool, saving hours of manual link auditing. For SEO teams and site owners, this workflow is an essential part of proactive link profile management and long-term search visibility.
