Google Disavow

There are people I know who spend their days disavowing links and there are people I know who refuse to every disavow a link.

A WebmasterWorld thread has one webmaster saying that now SEOs are no longer, in general disavowing links. I am not sure where that came from, but the webmaster said:

I've heard some chatter lately that SEOs don't need to disavow backlinks anymore. Is this the case?

I don't think that is the case.

Personally, I've never disavowed a link in my life and trust me, I have plenty of bad links pointing to my sites. Not because I built them, because people want to teach me a lesson about negative SEO.

So my question to you is, at this point in your SEO career, do you disavow? Take my poll:
