Google Disavow Links Tool and Majestic SEO - Help Needed

I understand that Google wants to see effort and time spent on removing "bad links".

I am facing the situation that it's practically impossible to contact a ton of webmasters to ask them to remove my links.

One of my sites has a terrible link profile and I am running it through majestic SEO and plan to disavow about 60 DOMAINS (with about 500 or so links) which all have a trust-flow of 0 according to MJ SEO.

Many of those domains are blog networks, a good number of them expired etc.

Do I have any chances to be successful submitting a disavow list with 60 domains telling I want all those links disavowed?

Again..I understand that Google wants to see that a webmaster put effort into removing those links...but it's simply practically impossible. I also understand it might not be the "most advanced" solution to run domains through MJ SEO and filter all domains with citation/trust of 0....but I think it's still better than having those backlinks.

Has anyone already done similar with success?

    It isn't impossible, if you don't have the man hours to put into it you need to use a link removal service instead. I have been in your same situation, in fact I have hundreds of websites all with different link building strategies to see what works and what doesn't. Some were hit with unnatural link warnings from a variety of sources (BMR, sape, link network deindexed) and others that were hit with algo updates. I have had success on removing all but 2 penalties so far, keep in mind only a handful of all of my websites were hit based on the link building tactics used.

    I tried to do the link removal process on one of my sites and it was a gigantic pain,I must have spent 15 hours myself before deciding to outsource to someone on Freelancer. That was another disaster as I didn't have time to teach them how to do it. I decided to use linkdelete for link removals and was glad to get rid of doing it.

    The ideas is to show Google the proper evidence of link removals if you have a manual penalty. Manual penalties show up in Google Webmaster Tools. Algo updates won't notify you which means that you need to be very proactive with link removals and then create a disavow file based on the links not removed.

    I have this theory based on my experience that Google only accepts disavows if they notice a drop in backlinks. Here's my experience, we know that Google tells you to remove links before submitting a disavow. For my sites hit with an algorithm penalty like Penguin and had link removals before submitting a disavow had ranking recovery. Those websites that I've only submitted a disavow for haven't seen any recovery in rankings.

    I with Google would just make this an easier process altogether it is such a pain. I guess I get it though, I spent money on links and should spend some time and effort fixing the problem. Google seems more like a parent.
