Knowing that pointing links to your website with only your targeted term is toxic how on earth do you defend against a third party site pointing a link to your site using the very term you dont want to over do.
Put another way... imagine you have a site ranking well for say target term "cordless drills". You then notice multiple sites who you have zero control over has pointed links to your site using that target term. So my question is...
"How do you block an incoming link if the site administaror doesnt head your cries to take out the targeted pharse in the link"
Any insights welcome

The eternal problem of an online marketer and I have faced this problem countless times. Quite true we have zero control over them and the good news is that Google will not pay any heed to you. Usually what Google says is that if you have not built those links, you do not need to care about them but at the same time, they also say that if you believe that these links are causing you harm, you can use Disavow Links option to make Google aware of the fact that you do not trust those links coming from those sites.
_So, it is a tough game. But as you said that the links are coming with exact anchor text, I would recommend you checking the quality of the links because you may never know that these may be actually [I know you are good at it] adding value to your website. Once you are confirmed that the links are spammy, go ahead and give the Disavow Link a go. _

.ac.uk question!
Hi guys, Recently won a follow link from a .ac.uk university website. Unfortunately, this isn't showing in Link Explorer. We won this link a few weeks ago now. I'm wondering why it hasn't shown up as of yet? Best, Ross

Do subdomains (eg .blogspot.com) carry the same link juice as a .com or .co.uk?
Hi guys. Just wondered what people's thoughts were on the value of a link from a subdomain vs a .com or .co.uk - I have several clients operating within the UK crafts sector, and there are a huge number of blogspot blogs with decent PR etc. Given that anyone can start one of these for free (and therefore theoretically get themselves hundreds of bogus links), I wonder whether they carry the same value as an independent site. I'll look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts 🙂
