For those of you that used LINK DETOX.
-
Did you go ahead and remove all the TOXIC and HIGH RISK links? Just the toxic?
Were you successful with the tool?

I've used Link Detox for a while. I've found that all Toxic links are classified appropriately, but that's not always the case for suspicious and healthy. Links marked as moderate, low risk, or very low risk can still be coming from spammy directories, link lists, massive resource pages, etc. And on the opposite side, sometimes links from BlogSpot blogs will be marked as suspicious even though it's a legit blog that linked naturally to you. They're just flagged because they have few backlinks or low trust. It's best to do a manual review of each link to see what's really worth keeping.
I've used Link Detox with Rmoov in the past and had good results with it. Rmoov is easy to use and keeps track of everything for you in a Google Doc.

I have looked at removeem, but their video says "find all the links with keywords in anchor text and remove them". That sounds like great way to lose even more rankings. Plus it doesn't really do anything. You are paying for basically making a spreadsheet from what I see.
I thought about using Link Detox with rmoov.com, or link delete.

I don't know if this is what you want because you did ask specifically about detox however if you're not using that tool one another option I have used
I have had a lot of success.
remove'em is also made by a company recommended by Moz called http://www.virante.org/
Hope this was of help,

All of our Toxic links seemed to have good reason for being labeled such, and I did Disavow those domains. There is LOTS more info in the downloaded CSV files than ever shows on the Link Detox screen.
Some of the High Risk ones were kept. Usually it was the thing about them coming from a de-indexed site or blog. When I looked at the site or blog it appeared to be a nice site that just happened to get hammered by Panda or Penguin. I figured that the owner of the site was working hard on getting the penalty lifted and eventually it would be a good site again.
I also disavowed a few marginal domains to help re-balance my anchor text profile. Which was out of balance enough to get Penguined for the over-optimized keywords.
Successful? We will not know until Google runs a new Penguin update. Hopefully they do it real soon...

No content using Fetch
Wooah, this one makes me feel a bit nervous. The cache version of the site homepage shows all the text, but I understand that is the html code constructed by the browser. So I get that. If I Google some of the content it is there in the index and the cache version is yesterday. If I Fetch and Render in GWT then none of the content is available in the preview - neither Googlebot or visitor view. The whole preview is just the menu, a holding image for a video and a tag line for it. There are no reports of blocked resources apart from a Wistia URL. How can I decipher what is blocking Google if it does not report any problems? The CSS is visible for reference to, for example, <section class="text-within-lines big-text narrow"> class="data"> some content... Ranking is a real issue, in part by a poorly functioning main menu. But i'm really concerned with what is happening with the render.

I currently have a client that has multiple domains for multiple brands that share the same IP Address. Will link juice be passed along to the different sites when they link to one another or will it simply be considered internal linking?
I have 7 brands that are owned by the same company, each with their own domain. The brands work together to form products that are then sold to the consumer although there is not a e-commerce aspect to any of the sites. I am looking to create a modified link wheel between the sites, but didn't know if my efforts would pay off due to the same IP Address for all the sites. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

Do you loose Link Equity when using RanDom CasE?
I seen a site linking internally using Caps from the home page to sub pages, the rest of the site links in lower-case. Are there any disadvantages in terms of link juice or duplication for doing this? Example link from homepage: /blah/Doctors.aspx Example link from other internal page: /blah/doctors.aspx The site is on a Windows based server and not Linux. Thanks in advance

Optimising My Website Link Containers
Hi, I'm looking at my links containers and trying to optimise them. I would be greatful if anyone can give me some feedback on my plan for perfect optimaisation. My links are constructed as follows: I have a two states:
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | James77
1/. A Non Hover state which contains an Image and Text
2/. A Hover state which contains a bit more text - I do this as containing full text on the non hover state would not be good for users and would look ugly as well. Here's an example block of the HTML - as you can see from the URL, its quite a deep page level. From the URL and Alt / Titles the Page I am Linking to is about: "The Royal Hotel Accommodation New York Holidays". I Just a bit confused on how I should apply ALT and Title (Titles in particular) attributes given the nested DiV's etc - I can apply these to parent level, or apply all levels, or apply them to a mix. Also is there any obvious thinks you can think of I am missing that may help onsite SEO? Thanks in Advance CURRENT UNOPTIMISED CODE:
The Royal Hotel
New York Holidays Accommodation
The Royal Hotel
MY OPTIMISED CODE (Adding Title and Alt attributes):
The Royal Hotel
New York Holidays Accommodation
The Royal Hotel
