Where should I go to hire an all star SEO person? Everyone on this forum is so knowledgeable and I would really like to hire some good, professional, proactive, SEO manager.
-
I just don't want to disavow without trying to get them removed first. I thought that we should attempt to remove first.
-
This is a very nice and knowledgeable comment. I am so happy with the nice people on this forum.
-
That's a very good point. We have gotten the latter. We are working hard on it, but it's a tedious process. We also need advice on anchor text. We have some over optimized anchor text that needs to be fixed, but I don't know how.
-
Thanks a lot. We are working on it. I love the answers on here. Everyone is so nice.

Hi Sean,
It really depends what type of service you are looking for.
The two you mentioned are quite different services.
Remove'em uses algorithmic analysis to highlight links it thinks should be removed if you use the Self Service option. They also provide a full service option which would mean that the analysts at Virante (the company that builds the tool) would manage every element of the campaign for you. As far as I am aware there is no trial available, but there is a video tutorial which shows you how the Self Service version works - Starts with Self Service at $249 per domain.
To be honest, Link Delete doesn't seem to actually give any details as to how or what they do apart from generally helping to clean up your backlinks. Starts at $97 per month for 1 domain with a max of 400 linking URLs (3 different Plans)
Another service which provides algorithmic analysis as part of their service is Link Detox, which is part of the Link Research Tools suite. You can get started with an initial report by paying with a tweet, get Daypass access (72 hours) for 30 euros, or 2 Link Detox credits that last for a month at a cost of 50 euros.
rmoov is a link removal outreach tool which does NOT provide algorithmic analysis (because we believe good analysis = eyes on sites), but helps to automate much of the outreach process that Marie described once you have a list of the URLs you want links removed from. It has been specifically built to help those dealing with a manual spam action to manage link removal outreach at scale and to provide a level of reporting detail that will meet the Webspam team's expectations when considering a reconsideration request. rmoov allows the user to choose the level of automation or manual work they wish to do, so analysts like myself and Marie can run it as an aid to a predominantly manual process, while those who prefer can make use of automated link checking etc.
rmoov has a free Basic account which allows 1 campaign at a time with a max of 25 linking root domains and/or 250 linking URLs. This free account does not provide automated link checking or pulling of domain contact info, but does not expire. Paid subscriptions start at $49 per month for 5 active campaigns at a time with a max of 100 linking root domains and 1000 linking URLs. (4 different subscription plans). In the interest of full disclosure: I work for the company that develops rmoovThere is another service called Delete Backlinks which provides a pay per link service. This appears to be offered by a company that owns, controls or has agreements with a large number of directory sites. With this service you enter your domain and they provide a list of the links they have access to which will be removed. Pricing starts from 99 cents per link for the first 5 links with the cost per link reducing on a sliding scale according to the number of links you want removed.
Hope that helps,
Sha

Disavowing links is ok, but won't remove any penalty in place (if you have one). I do use it as part of my efforts to help clients that have been hit and include this in the documentation I send to google for the reconsideration request. Not had a request rejected so far...but then I've only had to do 10 or so.
-
For the sites that I work on I do everything manually. I review each link and assess whether or not they are likely to be considered natural and then I gather email addresses, whois addresses and urls of contact forms. I contact each of the sites and document my efforts to Google. It works well but takes time.
But, before you do so, make sure you have a "true" unnatural links warning. There are many lately that Google is putting out that have no yellow caution sign and say, "we are reducing trust in some of your links". For those you may not have to go through the whole process.
-
Have you received some type of warning from a search engine about your links? Have you tried contacting the sites that own the links yet? If you can give us a little more background on your situation we can help a bit more with a good answer.
-
Thanks. I am choosing to delete the links because I thought that's what Google wanted. I thought they did not like us to use the disavowal tool. Do you have a different experience? I thought the disavowal tool was the last resort.
-
Why are you choosing to delete the links? My recommendation would be to simply use Google's disavow tool to let Google know which links you don't want counted toward your site.
http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2648487
Is there some reason you want them actually deleted? Using disavow is a best practice and will be much quicker and cheaper.
Good luck!

Do links from subdomains pass the authority and link juice of main domain ?
Hi, There is a subdomain with a root domain's DA 90. I can earn a backlink from that subdomain. This subdomain is fresh with no traffic yet. Do I get the ranking boost and authority from the subdomain? Example: I can earn a do-follow link from **https://what-is-crm.netlify.app/ **but not from https://netlify.app

How to find if a website has paid or spammy back-links? Latest ways to investigate.
Hi all, I would like to investigate about our website back-links if something is wrong. If there are any paid or spammy back-links. How to proceed on this exercise? We have been using ahrefs and seems like it's quite enough. Is there any way we can pull out the fishy back-links? Do we have any helpful data from webmasters about this? Thanks

Low quality links
Hi I have found a lot of links from a majestic report (not found on moz open site explorer). inwhich I have found lots of links from 2010 and possibly earlier which either I can't get hold of the webmaster. Is a disavow the right way to go if I can't get them removed myself? Also I have noticed that there are a lot of free directories listing new pages from our site and I am concerned Google are going to find these. I surpose there is nothing I can do about this, does anyone have any recommendations.

NoFollow tag for external links: Good or bad?
I have a few sites that have tens of thousands of links on them (most of them are sourcing images that happen to be external links). I know that it's a good thing to externally link to reputable sources, but is it smart to place the nofollow tag on ALL external links? I'm sure there is a good chance that external links from posts from years ago are pointing to sites that may now be penalized. I feel as though nofollowing all the external links could come off as unnatural. What are the pros and cons of placing the nofollow tag on ALL external links, and also if I leave it as is and don't put the nofollow tag on them. Thanks.

Advice on using the disavow tool to remove hacked website links
Hey Everyone, Back in December, our website suffered an attack which created links to other hacked webistes which anchor text such as "This is an excellent time to discuss symptoms, fa" "Open to members of the nursing/paramedical profes" "The organs in the female reproductive system incl" The links were only visible when looking at the Cache of the page. We got these links removed and removed all traces of the attack such as pages which were created in their own directory on our server 3 months later I'm finding websites linking to us with similar anchor text to the ones above, however they're linking to the pages that were created on our server when we were attacked and they've been removed. So one of my questions is does this effect our site? We've seen some of our best performing keywords drop over the last few months and I have a feeling it's due to these spammy links. Here's a website that links to us <colgroup><col width="751"></colgroup>

| http://www.fashion-game.com/extreme/blog/page-9 | If you do view source or look at the cached version then you'll find a link right at the bottom left corner. We have 268 of these links from 200 domains. Contacting these sites to have these links removed would be a very long process as most of them probably have no idea that those links even exist and I don't have the time to explain to each one how to remove the hacked files etc. I've been looking at using the Google Disavow tool to solve this problem but I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not. We haven't had any warnings from Google about our site being spam or having too many spam links, so do we need to use the tool? Any advice would be very much appreciated. Let me know if you require more details about our problem. <colgroup><col width="355"></colgroup>

Reciprocal Links NoFollow
I am working on the SEO for a company that sells commercial construction materials and I am noticing that the vast majority of the older, authoritative construction related sites and directories require a reciprocal link to be linked to from their site. 1. If I create a reciprocating link, but nofollow/noindex that page, is that seen as blackhat? Will I see any benefit from this over a link passing page rank? 2. Will these reciprocating links hurt me, or are they worth the risk within a young portfolio? I am seeing well ranked sites listed such as justblinds.com, this would imply they reciprocated a link as well?

Good link networks?
Hey Mozzers, quick question about link networks. I've identified quite a few, like these: Build My Rank Unique Article Wizard Authority Link Network Article Ranks EZ Article Link Socialadr Linkvana SEO LinkVine Does anyone have experience using any of these? The basic premise is they own or their members own tons of different blogs. You write an article, give it to them, they publish it one one of those blogs. You include a link in your article. Done. They charge a monthly fee to use and all that, so is it worth it? Anyone had any success with them? Finding mixed things on forums online, and since many of their websites like awfully spammy, wanted to poll the Mozzers and get your thoughts.
