Are these links harmful?

I have a site that has been stable over many years and has a pretty good clean link profile......all natural and none paid for. Recently a low level (but not bad) news site has added links to my site from one of their banners. This has increased my sites incoming link profile by over 50000 links overnight. My site is not getting any traffic from this and I am concerned about the sudden spike in incoming link numbers. Should i disavow this domain to be safe or ignore? So far i cannot see any negative impact but am a bit paranoid as what impact it can have a little down the road.....appreciate any advice

Increases of a large number of links is not a sign of being unnatural just a sign that the link is on an include file of a rather large domain with lots of pages. There is no need to be concern especially if the link anchor is void of any keyword phrase useful for rank (thus unnatural link anchor). If such as link is more of a call to action like "Click Here" or "Website" you have nothing to worry about.
