Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello All,

I am undertaking the daunting task of a link removal campaign.

I've got a pretty good plan for my work flow in terms of doing the backlink research, gathering contact information, and sending the email requests.

Where I'm a bit stuck is in regards to tracking the links that actually get removed.

Obviously if someone replies to my email telling me they removed it, then that makes it pretty clear. However, there may be cases where someone removes the link, but does not respond.

I know Moz has a ton of link tools (which I'm still getting familiar with). Is there a report or something I can generate that would show me links that did exist previously but have now been removed?

If Moz cannot do it, does anyone have a recommendation on another tool that can track links to inform me whether or not they have been removed.

Thanks!

Thanks guys.

I was hoping to get flooded with different companies that could help the process, however from everything Ive tried/read/seen, I unfortunately agree that the only way to really accomplish this is to do it manually in-house.

Hello everyone,

Due to the Penguin update my site unfortunately took a bit of a hit.

A little while ago I submitted all of our questionable/bad links to the disavow tool, however I still wante to go back and delete any and all problematic links that are still out there.

Ive looked into many services, however I haven't been too impressed.

Removeem - The email addresses they provided weren't always valid, and their email tool didn't always deploy correctly - a lot of cross referencing and was not saving me any time.

Link Detox - Free trial was a bust. They show you 10 links on the free trial, however for me, 9 of the 10 were all the same. Couldn't get a good feel of their system.

Rmoov - Their tool is one where you upload your own links, and they help manage everything, however they DONT allow you to email through their system, so Im not sure how this helps my process if I have to do everthing manaully anyway.

A lot of sites I see are also a full service approach that charge you based on how many links they remove, and this can get quite costly.

I have also contacted:
Link Delete - No reponse from multiple email requests
Linkquidator - No response
Infatex - No response

My questions to all of you are:

Is there any company out there that you recommend that provide a self service tool [online or desktop driven]?

Is this even an avenue I should explore, or should I compile my own list [as 3rd party algorithms are not always accurate] and reach out to sites manually?

Is disavowing good enough and Im just spinning my wheeles trying to now get them all removed?

Thanks!
