    Default Disavowing Wikipedia "Clones" - Do you do it?

    For those of you lucky/skilled enough to have Wikipedia links for your gambling sites, I'm curious how you treat all of the Wikipedia clone sites. Some of them pull the articles word for word, most in fact I'd say. Others are just different languages of the articles, but not Wikipedia hosted.

    I'm not sure how to proceed with these copied pages from Wikipedia. My heart says disavow because the content is scraped/stolen. My wallet says, those links might have some juice and every little bit of it counts when your competition is buying links left and right and outranking you with inferior content.

    Thoughts on Wikipedia clones / disavowing?

    I think google knows how to deal with those, I only disavow when i can see something being targeted... like thousands of anchors from image spam

    Nope.
    But then I've never bothered disavowing anything.

    Interesting question. I would recommend to disavow spam links with low DR, UR, TF, CF. It could help boost your rankings.

    If your website is old and have enough "trust", it doesn't matter. If you are just starting your project, especially first year, you should clean your links profile every month or even week.

    No point.
    1. Disavow tool doesn't really do anything.
    2. Why bother? Are you going to disavow every link you don't like? What are you going to do when your site gets big and you start getting hundreds of links a day?
