Tons and tons of nofollow links
-
Ahrefs is showing that I have 1,278 no follow links.
Many of these are from a site that I'm totally unfamiliar with (growmap.com) and don't see any reference to my site on. Perhaps I left a comment on it at some point?
But more than 800 of my nofollow links are from this site.
Is this going to hurt me?
Thanks. My url is http://www.farnorthkennel.com if curiosity comes about.

Hi Joshua,
Stay calm! Nothing to worry about here. Google ignores (that may not be true 100% of the time, but let's say that it is...) nofollow links - that's the point of them!
You wont gain from them - but neither will you be punished.
On OpenSiteExplorer I can't see any real data there, so I can't look any deeper than that.
Hope that helps!

How do I search for a link within a competitors website that is linking my website?
Hello, I have just been checking my link profile and according to webmaster tools a competitor is linking to my website. Is there anyway of finding this link besides looking at every page within their website? Many thanks

Somone is creating a ton of links to my site!!!
Today I looked at site explorer and found over 1100 linking root domains and over 750 linking c-blocks. My site was hovering around 200 linking root domains and 150 linking c-blocks. I have not paid anyone to link to my site... Is this one of my competitors trying to create negative seo for a specific key word? I've worked very hard to never try to build links and only get links naturally by providing good content that people would want to link to. Can all hundreds of new links hurt me? What can I do? my site is www.yakangler.com |  |  |

Sitewide link dilema
About 3 years ago I acquired a sitewide sidebar backlink on very good site. Â Today 3 years later my site has 27,080 backlinks from the same domain with the same anchor text and I am concerned this could be doing my site more harm than good. The site is good quality well indexed PR5, some inner pages also have good PR. My dilemmas are: Should I have the link removed or leave it put? Would taking down so many links in one go do me harm? My instinct would be to remove the sitewide and just keep the homepage link but that is not an option Can anyone help? Thanks
