Removing links from another site

[luwhosjack]

Hello,

Some site that I have never been able to access as it is always down has over 3,000 links to my website. They disappeared the other week and our search queries dramatically improved but now they are back again in Google Webmaster and we have dropped again.I have contacted the site owner and got no response and I have also put in a removal form (though I am not sure this fits for that) and asked Google to remove as they have been duplicating our content also. It was in my pending section but has now disappeared.This links are really damaging our search and the site isnt even there. Do I have to list all 3,000 links in the link removal to Google or is there another way I can go about telling them the issue.Appreciate any help on this

Do you mean the Remove URLs feature in Google Webmaster Tools?

I believe that is intended for removing your own content, as per https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=59819

If you wish to remove your content using the URL removal request tool in our Google Webmaster Tools, you must first meet the criteria listed below.

To remove a page or image, you must do one of the following:

• Make sure the content is no longer live on the web. Requests for the page must return an HTTP 404 (not found) or 410 status code.
• Block the content using a robots.txt file.
• Block the content using a meta noindex tag.

Hello, i mean the one to remove links that google offers.

I have decided that I will just remove the pages as I have worked out that there are only 6 and these are being linked to over and over by this site so I am simply going to take them down and hope that that should help the problem.

Just for clarification, when you say you've put in a removal form, which form do you mean?
