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...

Linking to URLs With Hash (#) in Them
How does link juice flow when linking to URLs with the hash tag in them? If I link to this page, which generates a pop-over on my homepage that gives info about my special offer, where will the link juice go to? homepage.com/#specialoffer Will the link juice go to the homepage? Will it go nowhere? Will it go to the hash URL above? I'd like to publish an annual/evergreen sort of offer that will generate lots of links. And instead of driving those links to homepage.com/offer, I was hoping to get that link juice to flow to the homepage, or maybe even a product page, instead. And just updating the pop over information each year as the offer changes. I've seen competitors do it this way but wanted to see what the community here things in terms of linking to URLs with the hash tag in them. Can also be a use case for using hash tags in URLs for tracking purposes maybe?

Internal links question
I've read that Google frowns upon large numbers of internal links. We're building a site that helps users browse a list of shows via dozens of genres. If the genres are expose, say, as a pulldown menu as opposed to a list of static links, and selecting the pulldown option filters the list of shows, would those genres count against our internal links count?

Link Research Tools - Detox Links
Hi, I was doing a little research on my link profile and came across a tool called "LinkRessearchTools.com". I bought a subscription and tried them out. Doing the report they advised a low risk but identified 78 Very High Risk to Deadly (are they venomous?) links, around 5% of total and advised removing them. They also advised of many suspicious and low risk links but these seem to be because they have no knowledge of them so default to a negative it seems. So before I do anything rash and start removing my Deadly links, I was wondering if anyone had a). used them and recommend them b). recommend detoxing removing the deadly links c). would there be any cases in which so called Deadly links being removed cause more problems than solve. Such as maintaining a normal looking profile as everyone would be likely to have bad links etc... (although my thinking may be out on that one...). What do you think? Adam

What is the optimal link profile?
I am doing a variety of SEO link building techniques. I am doing: guest blog posts article submissions directories bookmarks web2.0 properties link acquisition I don't expect much from the article submissions, web 2.0, and directories, so I am using these methods for the long tail and less competitive keywords. Is this a good idea? When we talk about a link profile, is it per page or for the whole site? Does it matter if you have a more diverse link profile for a single page or does it have to be diverse for the whole site? Appreciate any informed comments!
