How to remove back links from third party website??
-
Hi Guys,
I checked my website back-links and found some bad links. Now i just want to remove links from third party website. I know two methods as mentioned below:
- Disallow bad links from Google Webmaster
- Contact to webmaster and remove them
I tried both of the above methods but not get success.Is there any other method to solve this issue??

contact webmaster and ask them to remove the link(s) and tell them you'll paypal them $10 or whatever for their time. gets their attention and works. otherwise link removal requests often get ignored

Hi Chitra,
If you have used the disavow links tool correctly then you should not worry much about the low quality links. Once you have uploaded the list of bad links, it might take few weeks for Google to stop considering those links pointing to your site. But you must be damn sure that those low quality links are actually causing your website rank low or affecting it in anyway. Disavow links tool is very powerful and should be used with utmost caution.
The best thing is to try and check with the webmaster to have those removed. Other than this there is not much that anyone can do. If you are losing too much in revenue and stuff like that then you might consider to take legal actions against those.
Good luck.
Best regards,
Devanur Rafi.

Back link from site with DA of 72 to a website domain. Clicking on the link redirects to our website not the attended one.
Hi,
Link Building | | JIMBO16
I've ran a back link check and discovered a good back link to a site which then gets redirected back to my company's website. I have a feeling that an old SEO agency has purchased a small website which has a decent link back from a relevant organisation with a high Domain authority and then redirects the domain to our website to get the link juice. What are your thought on this? Is this really bad practise and possibly damaging? Thanks, Jim0 -

1000 of links on my website ? is it good or bad
Hi guys my site: www.dorchdanola-netbutik.dk is a e-commerce store, and generally we have many links on all pages because of the many products and categories. Im not sure if this is actually bad or good? I've been told that it will definately harm my site when google crawls it. The thing is that google visit my site often and I still have good pageranks in google. So does it actually harm my site having all these products and categories? And what can I do about it if google see every page as duplicate content? I also link to my social pages like FB, G+, e.g. Should I put rel="nofollow" or rel="me" on these social links? Thanks guys!

Best five links to get first for a new website
I wondered if people had a list of the top five or ten links you should build for a new website in order to add some sense of authority. For example should a new website start with key social media websites such as Twitter, Google+ and Linkedin ? Or top level directories such as BOTW and DMOZ? Should they local for niche website directories in their location or vertical? If you had to choose five links - free or paid which would they be?

Should I link from my blog back to my product pages?
Hello... I just installed a blog on my Magento site. My question is whether or not i should be linking within posts on the blog back to the product or category pages that i am talking about...from an SEO perspective. If in my post i am talking about flashlights being important when preparing for a storm, should i link the word flashlights to the flashlight category on my site? I know I can do this, the question is should i, from google's perspective. A) should i link the word (flashlights) to that category on my page B) should i put a line at the bottom of every post that says something like "if you are interested in purchasing flashlights, visit this link" and hyperlink that whole sentence... THANKS!
