      I have seen a number of these services pop up over the past few months.

      My question is, has anyone used them, and did you see any results?

      Here is a few example of the ones I have seen appear recently

      http://www.removeem.com/

      http://www.linkremovalservices.com/

      http://deletebacklinks.com/

      http://www.linkdelete.com/

        First, let me begin with full disclosure. I am Russ Jones, CTO of Angular (formerly Virante) and creator of Remove'em. I will do my best not to make this an advertisement in any way and answer the question more generally about link removal services.

        "My question is, has anyone used them, and did you see any results?"

        The answer here is a definite yes. We should probably distinguish between link removal tools and link removal services. There are some tools out there that assist with the link removal process (Remove'em, LinkRisk, LinkDetox, and Remove'em etc.) and other tool/service blends that perform a degree of the link removal process (Remove'em Full Service, RMoov, etc.) and finally some service-only models (LinkDelete, etc.). I will say that I am personally unfamiliar with the service-only models so I will refrain from comment on them out of ignorance, not because they couldn't very well be useful and effective.

        The blended services, by and large, appear to be effective. We have researched our competitors and I assure you if they were a sham, we would have made that clear in our marketing material by now 🙂

        These services tend to provide the following improvements upon DIY...

        1. Existing relationships with link purveyors to accelerate link removal.
        2. Outreach technology that allows them to better find contact info.
        3. Existing databases of contact information tailored to this industry.
        4. Knowledge of Google expectations for successful reconsideration

        However, you don't need any of this to run a successful recovery, the question is just a balance of your time and money. If your lost revenue from lack of rankings, cost of time/services (ie: employees or existing SEO firm running removal campaign) are greater than the costs of these services, they are well worth your consideration.

        If you have an specific questions about these services beyond their efficacy, feel free to respond here - I would be more than willing to help.

          well if you link at some of the websites that Matthew gave as examples, that is exactly what some of them do. I can for a second see how a website can determine instantaneously what back links needs to be removed.

          There is no doubt that there are companies out there who would go through the process with a fine comb and get you the results you need.

          You just have to be careful with our choice just like you do with choosing an SEO agency.

            Hi Duke

            I dont think the process is automated in any way.

            It seems to be that they have a team that will do all the hard work for you.

            This included analysis of the links, and then reaching out to web masters and asking for the low quality links to be removed.

            Matthew

              Why do you think this "They are similar to those companies offering you cheap links. The long effect on your website will be painful."

              If someone is being paid to remove links and would provide a report as to what links existed prior and an updated list showing links removed how can that be harmful to your site?

                  I would suggest you stay well clear of them. They are similar to those companies offering you cheap links. The long effect on your website will be painful. To be honest, I would question anyone who claims can automate link removal. The process of removing links is a long and painful process which requires human to do it. There are bits of the process that can be automated but the final decision on which links to remove can't.

                  Take a look at this Q&A for some useful steps http://www.seomoz.org/q/does-anyone-have-any-suggestions-on-removing-spammy-links

                  Other tools that might be useful are

                    Thanks for the link Rebekah, much appreciated.

                    Yeah, I'm a bit like you ,very hesitant with these sort of services.

                    I did have a look at this tool last week and it does look very good and provided some really useful analysis in to each link.

                      I haven't used any of these services or tools, but I took a look at what you listed.

                      Removeem is more of a link management tool that lets you note who you've contacted and what the status is.  That seems really useful if you don't want to keep track of all this another way, such as Excel.

                      I am personally a bit hesitant to use "link removal services" but that's just me.

                      I also haven't had a chance to watch this yet - bookmarked it for when I have time.  It is a webinar from SEOGadget about link removal.  SEOGadget really knows their stuff so I am sure you will find some valuable advice in here.

                        Footer Links And Link Juice

                        I'm starting to learn about link juice and notice in GWMT > Traffic > Internal Links, that the list is in this order by the links counted on each page. Some are in the footer and some are in the header, with some being more important than others commercially i.e. /register /privacy /terms /search /sitemap /disclaimer /blog /register So I am wondering if I should add a 'no-follow' attribute to the footer links i.e. privacy, terms, disclaimer and leave the others as they are? Does this help retain link juice on each page where the links appear? Or am I missing the point all together? This is my website: http://goo.gl/CN0e5

                        Link Detox and Link Removal

                        I have a question about which links to remove after running a link detox from Link Research Tools. First a little back story. I had had an SEO company link building for one of the websites I own.  But I have recently stopped working with them. In the last month my rankings have near dropped off the charts. I have just recently gotten access to Google webmaster tools and noticed an unnatural link warning from back in March. So yesterday I ran link detox and it reported 19 toxic links, 120 suspicious links, and 24 healthy links. It's rather obvious that I should remove all of the toxic links. They all from sites that have been deindexed by google. But my question is a about the suspicious links. What should my criteria be for removing them? Am I better off removing them all and leaving my site with only 24 healthy links or should I personally comb through them and remove only the worst of the worst so that I leave my site with a few more links? I'd really like to get the site ready to resubmit to google as soon as I can. Thoughts? yyCOf.png

                        Changing links

                        Hi guys i wanted you views on changing the anchor text of links. I have quality links coming in but with year terms such as 2012 in there, if i want to change them all to 2013 for example would it be badly seen by Google? I cant say i feel comfortable about doing it but they are my links and are related to our products. Any advice much appreciated.

                        Remove links or change anchor text?

                        I am currently in the process of cleaning up the link profile for a website that has been hit by Penguin thanks to loads of links from free directories with exact match keyword anchor texts (about 200 root domains from total of 300 root domains). I was wondering whether it's best to remove these un-natrual keyword anchor text links altogether, or change the anchor texts to brand (domain name, domainname.com, www.domainname.com, http://www.domainname.com)? I am currently trying to remove these links but was thinking it would be quicker to get to a healthier link profile (in terms of brand/commercial anchor text split) by altering the anchor texts and not removing them. Some of these directories are the worst of the worst on the other hand. Also note that I'm only really getting about a 30% response rate from the owners of these directories. Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance.

                        Text Link vs image link?

                        Which passes most link juice a text link or an image with the correct 'alt' attribute? Do the pass the same amount or is one more valuable than the other?

                        Link Frequency

                        I understand that good link building is all about the quality of the link / the anchor text attached to it. But, what about frequency? Should I build until I can't build anymore? or create a plan to submit links to a certain # of sites per week/month?
