How do I get rid of these nofollow backlinks from 1 comment I made?
-
I wrote a comment on another blog and now every single time that blog posts an article, it comes up as a nofollow backlink in OpenExplorer. It is really annoying to see when I check for new follow backlinks. I just wrote ONE comment on ONE blog post. How can I stop this? There are at least 10 showing up today! Thanks!

Is the comment on each page, or is there a sidebar saying "[You] commented on a post", or something to that effect?
If the actual comment is on each page, it's something wrong with the site and it'll disappear when the admin corrects it.
If the other option, then it should also show several other commenters - it shows the latest comments and yours will be removed when enough people comment to push you off of that list.

No. It is a new blog, I was being friendly. So is every single blog post published from now on going to show up as a nofollow comment? Why, when I just commented on one post?
-
Yup either what Mike said or email the webmaster and ask for the link to be removed.
But I mean... does it drive any traffic in?

When in Open Site Explorer, click the first dropdown and select "only follow". That way you won't see any of the NoFollowed links pointing to your URL.

Backlink Transparency with SEO Agency
Hello everyone. I recently started working with an SEO agency and today they gave me an updated keyword report which showed some increase in rankings.

Penalized by SEO Link Wheelers Backlinks
Just over a year ago, I've bought 4 link building packages from SEO Link Wheelers. From what I see now, most of their website network has been penalized / banned and now it's hurting my websites. I've tried to contact them but they won't reply. I'd be willing to pay to have them remove the links but they simply won't answer. And I haven't been rude or impolite at all in my communications with them. I've tried calling them to but to no avail. I know where most of the bad links are, thanks to linkresearchtools.com Now I gotta get rid of that crap. Any suggestions?
