Keyword Penalised

[Palmbourne]

We have never had a warning from WMT but our main keyword has dropped quite a lot over the two years, we made the mistake of using this in our anchor text, we have signed up to removeem.com, rather than ask other websites to remove the links would it be wiser just to ask if they will change the anchor text maybe to our domain name, a lot of the links appear in directories and some are on non revelant sites?

If you feel a domain that is linking to you is relevant and you do not want to delete the link because you feel you can change the anchor text I requesting it make sure it is a good link using one of these tools will send you the URL's

First off let me congratulate you on your choice tools removeem is awesome

Secondly because you said that there from directories and I'm relevant sites no I would not ask them to change anchor txt you would still be getting a bad link being sent to your website regardless of brother or not it has the correct anchor text

Honestly removeem is a very successful tool, and if you follow it to the T or use their full-service it is a fantastic tool and I believe they will help you with your penalty.

If you want to do some more investigating on some that you think you should keep use MajesticSEO & Moz OSE

They will tell you all you need to go along with removeem

Sincerely,

Thomas
