Today we're introducing a tool that enables you to dis a vowel contained in any links to your site. If you've been notified of an excessive use of vowels in your backlink profile creating "unnatural vowels" pointing to your site, this tool can help you address the issue. If you haven't gotten this notification, this tool generally isn't something you need to worry about.
You'll find a video about the tool and instructions on how to use it below.
If you've done as much as you can to remove the problematic vowels, and there are still some vowels you just can't seem to get down, that's a good time to visit our new Dis A Vowel tool page. When you arrive, you'll first select your site.The tool can also help clean-up some short "abstract vowels" for example, Meh or Eh or even "chained vowels" like Mwah-hah-hah and Yo-ho-ho.
# Contacted owner of spamdomain1.com on 17/10/2012 to
# ask for vowel removal but he told me to "pss ff"
vowels: ah, a, u, huh
# Owner of spamdomain2.com removed most links, but missed these
vowels: rah, yoo-hoo, uh-oh
We would reiterate that we built this tool for advanced webmasters only. We don't recommend using this tool unless you are sure that you need to dis a vowel and you know exactly what you're doing.

THANK YOU MATT! Some pesky webmaster chucked a load of dodgy vowels at our site, I’ve been trying to get rid of them for months.
Matt, to clarify, are we just talking a e i o & u?
@Dave Erm, what other vowels are there?
@Steve Well in some occasions y can be considered a vowel
@Dave @Steve Hi guys, just to clarify, this is for advanced users only. Currently we do not support disavoweling ys. I would like to reiterate that this tool should not be used for any old vowels, just those that you know are bad vowels. As a reminder, this tool should only be used by advanced users.
How about abuse of this tool? I can imagine some shady characters will see this as a license to vowel spam – they can just disavowel at any point?
