Hi Gareth,
We had over 8000 links to check, we concentrated on the sites that had the most links. Once we checked all of the website we found that most of them where all linked to the same directory so it only took 1 email to get rid of about 3000 links removed. The other's were harder to find, it just takes a lot of time.

Hi Naomi,
Well the problem is that there are 1000's of links so it not really practical!
ITs a nightmare!!

Hi Gareth,
We recently had the same problem. I would suggest you go into Google Web-master and make a list of the top offending sites that have links to your website. Then you need to go through each one and contact them and ask them to remove the links. Some of the companies came back to say that they had removed the links and others said that there would be a small charge. Good luck

Removed URLs
Hi all, We have recently removed 200+ articles from our blog. However, those links are still being shown on Google weeks after their removal. In there a way to speed up the process? What effect will this have on our SEO ranking?

Website redirects
We consolidated websites. All the international sites have been brought under the roof of our mothership site based in the US: www.crisisprevention.com ... We mapped out all of the URLs and where they should be redirected. However, if someone types in, say, www.crisisprevention.co.uk it redirects to the mothership site, BUT the old URL hangs around no matter what page you navigate to. I feel like it has duplicate content ramifications or worse. I would like opinions on this, so I can take my findings to IT and figure out a solution. Here’s another example: http://www.positive-options.co.uk and another http://www.positive-options.com

Google Website Optimizer
So if you are AB testing two pages: index.html and indexB.html Shouldn't I nofollow indexB.html? It has all the same content, just a different design.
