At June's SMX Advanced, Google's Matt Cutts mentioned the possibility that Google may implement a disavow links tool, but nothing definite is planned at the moment.
Last week, Bing did announce they had implemented a disavow links functionality in their webmaster tools, so you can use that for their search results at the moment.

Do your best to remove those bad links especially those that you can manually remove. Recent updates do not look kindly to links that appear unnatural or manipulative so removing them would be best in the long run.
In the cases where you don't have control over the sites, which provide the bad links, then you have no option but to contact the webmaster. If you get no response, then perhaps one can remove the low-value pages that are being targeted by the bad links. But this might not be viable if the majority of bad links are targeted to your blog's home-page.
One of the last options you might take would be to start over, get a new domain, and move your move your DotA blog. The downside to this is losing the inbound links and off-page ranking factors for your blog. You can rebuild them by aiming for relevant, high-authority links. Focus on quality over quantity so that you'll avoid the problem of having bad links to your site.
Hope this helps.

You will have to remove them one by one unfortunately! Yeah I took a quick look at your link profile and you have links from health websites and stuff like that. Unrelated to your blog! Just keep working on building a better link profile.

hi,
thank you for help, google webmasters did not left any msg about bad link... i was told here that i have some bad links...
so i will try out weight it with guest posts.
for example if i have about 100 bad links how to remove them all or do i haveo one by one ?
tnx

If you created them you should try to remove them. If that is not the case, try to contact the webmaster of where your links are.. it's a long shot but some will remove the links. Gather a list of every link that you think is doing you wrong and use that list as a guide for removal. Do whatever you can and as much work as you can to get them removed and document your methods used.. whether it by emailing, on site support, snail mail or phone call.. make sure to write it down.
You may be able to get a reconsideration but I doubt it unless Google Webmasters specifically left a message about bad links. You will have to keep guest blogging and building links naturally to out weigh the bad. You could start over, grab all your past blog posts and save them, start a new blog.. go back to fix your guest posts to point to your new domain. That may be the quickest way and better unless your site is still bringing in allot of visits. It really depends on your current situation. I'd say for me.. if my website was bringing in 250 people a day rather than 1,500 per day from before.. I would try and save it.. anything less than that I would probably spend my efforts to create a new website with best practices.

Hello, My total external links dropped from 900 to zero on a site that I've had running for about 10 years. What could possibly cause this? Thanks, Joe

Linking to CMS page ID
Hi all, Is it that detrimental to SEO if you link to the CMS page ID of a URL rather than the text URL of a page even if when you look at the source code Google sees it as a text URL? Thanks! 🙂

Transferring link juice on a page with over 150 links
I'm building a resource section that will probably, hopefully, attract a lot of external links but the problem here is that on the main index page there will be a big number of links (around 150 internal links - 120 links pointing to resource sub-pages and 30 being the site's navigational links), so it will dilute the passed link juice and possibly waste some of it. Those 120 sub-pages will contain about 50-100 external links and 30 internal navigational links. In order to better visualise the matter think of this resource as a collection of hundreds of blogs categorised by domain on the index page (those 120 sub-pages). Those 120 sub-pages will contain 50-100 external links The question here is how to build the primary page (the one with 150 links) so it will pass the most link juice to the site or do you think this is OK and I shouldn't be worried about it (I know there used to be a roughly 100 links per page limit)? Any ideas? Many thanks

Links from the same server has value or not
Hi Guys, Sometime ago one of the SEO experts said to me if I get links from the same IP address, Google doesn't count them as with much value. For an example, I am a web devleoper and I host all my clients websites on one server and link them back to me. Im wondering whether those links have any value when it comes to seo or should I consider getting different hosting providers? Regards Uds

Reciprocal link building a bad idea?
Reciprical Link Building or one way traffic? Good morning from 8 degrees c but very sunny wetherby UK Regarding link acquisition ive had it in my head that the best idea is to secure inbound links only i.e avoid reciprocal link building so that when your source links to you you dont give them a link back. But is this no longer valid when targeting inbound links to increase rank? Is it ok to link back or will that "leak SEO juice" or whatever we decide to call it this week.

Why would you remove a canonical link?
Currently, my client's blog makes a duplicate page every time someone comments on a post. The previous SEO consultant told the developer to not put a canonical link directing it to the main blog post. Did taking out the canonical link result in these duplicate pages? My question is why would she recommend this action? Is it best to now add in the canonical link in or should we implement a 301 redirect or insert a index: no follow? Would adding a canonical link keep duplicate pages from happening in the future?

Link Building Advice
Hi Everyone, I have just joined the community and am looking for some help regards Offsite SEO and Link Building. I have done some basic SEO on my website 'Marketing Quotes' Added to web directories (although I am told they do not carry much weight) I have written content and articles around them (on ezine, squidoo etc.) I have written unique content for the site I have done guest posting on blogs Not sure what to do next though for high power links. I did notice a Q&A on contacting webmasters and asking for links (after building a relationship) but wondered if there was anything (offsite wise) that I have missed out? Appreciate any advice. Regards, David

SEO LINKS
New to S.E.O. so excuse my naivety. I have made lots of new links some of them paid for e.g. Best of the Web but I don’t see any change in the latest competitive link analysis. Some of the links we have been accepted for just do not show. Also the keywords we are trying to promote the most have disappeared off the radar for over 2 weeks now. I think we have followed the optimization suggestions correctly. Please could you enlighten me. Regards Paul www.curtainpolesemporium.co.uk
