One nice thing about Google's disavow tool is that you don't have to actually remove the questionable links, but only disavow them, so that your site can still get traffic from them.

I missed this the first time around.

Google wants to see an attempt to get *bad* links removed. Google wants you to document in the disavow file your attempts to get the links taken down,

#Dear Google, # #I didn't ask the reputable news site that links to #mine to remove the links. # #I know you say I should, but the links send relevant traffic #that converts. I just want you to pretend these links aren't #there while I still get all the advantages from them.
