Thank you.

Where should I go to hire an all star SEO person? Everyone on this forum is so knowledgeable and I would really like to hire some good, professional, proactive, SEO manager.
-
I just don't want to disavow without trying to get them removed first. I thought that we should attempt to remove first.
-
This is a very nice and knowledgeable comment. I am so happy with the nice people on this forum.
-
That's a very good point. We have gotten the latter. We are working hard on it, but it's a tedious process. We also need advice on anchor text. We have some over optimized anchor text that needs to be fixed, but I don't know how.
-
Thanks a lot. We are working on it. I love the answers on here. Everyone is so nice.

Hi Sean,
It really depends what type of service you are looking for.
The two you mentioned are quite different services.
Remove'em uses algorithmic analysis to highlight links it thinks should be removed if you use the Self Service option. They also provide a full service option which would mean that the analysts at Virante (the company that builds the tool) would manage every element of the campaign for you. As far as I am aware there is no trial available, but there is a video tutorial which shows you how the Self Service version works - Starts with Self Service at $249 per domain.
To be honest, Link Delete doesn't seem to actually give any details as to how or what they do apart from generally helping to clean up your backlinks. Starts at $97 per month for 1 domain with a max of 400 linking URLs (3 different Plans)
Another service which provides algorithmic analysis as part of their service is Link Detox, which is part of the Link Research Tools suite. You can get started with an initial report by paying with a tweet, get Daypass access (72 hours) for 30 euros, or 2 Link Detox credits that last for a month at a cost of 50 euros.
rmoov is a link removal outreach tool which does NOT provide algorithmic analysis (because we believe good analysis = eyes on sites), but helps to automate much of the outreach process that Marie described once you have a list of the URLs you want links removed from. It has been specifically built to help those dealing with a manual spam action to manage link removal outreach at scale and to provide a level of reporting detail that will meet the Webspam team's expectations when considering a reconsideration request. rmoov allows the user to choose the level of automation or manual work they wish to do, so analysts like myself and Marie can run it as an aid to a predominantly manual process, while those who prefer can make use of automated link checking etc.
rmoov has a free Basic account which allows 1 campaign at a time with a max of 25 linking root domains and/or 250 linking URLs. This free account does not provide automated link checking or pulling of domain contact info, but does not expire. Paid subscriptions start at $49 per month for 5 active campaigns at a time with a max of 100 linking root domains and 1000 linking URLs. (4 different subscription plans). In the interest of full disclosure: I work for the company that develops rmoovThere is another service called Delete Backlinks which provides a pay per link service. This appears to be offered by a company that owns, controls or has agreements with a large number of directory sites. With this service you enter your domain and they provide a list of the links they have access to which will be removed. Pricing starts from 99 cents per link for the first 5 links with the cost per link reducing on a sliding scale according to the number of links you want removed.
Hope that helps,
Sha

Disavowing links is ok, but won't remove any penalty in place (if you have one). I do use it as part of my efforts to help clients that have been hit and include this in the documentation I send to google for the reconsideration request. Not had a request rejected so far...but then I've only had to do 10 or so.
-
For the sites that I work on I do everything manually. I review each link and assess whether or not they are likely to be considered natural and then I gather email addresses, whois addresses and urls of contact forms. I contact each of the sites and document my efforts to Google. It works well but takes time.
But, before you do so, make sure you have a "true" unnatural links warning. There are many lately that Google is putting out that have no yellow caution sign and say, "we are reducing trust in some of your links". For those you may not have to go through the whole process.
-
Have you received some type of warning from a search engine about your links? Have you tried contacting the sites that own the links yet? If you can give us a little more background on your situation we can help a bit more with a good answer.
-
Thanks. I am choosing to delete the links because I thought that's what Google wanted. I thought they did not like us to use the disavowal tool. Do you have a different experience? I thought the disavowal tool was the last resort.
-
Why are you choosing to delete the links? My recommendation would be to simply use Google's disavow tool to let Google know which links you don't want counted toward your site.

Is there some reason you want them actually deleted? Using disavow is a best practice and will be much quicker and cheaper.
Good luck!

Do the links from top websites' forums boost in-terms of backlinks?
If we get any backlinks from discussions/forums of top websites like wordpress and joomla forums; do they count as valid and authority improving backlinks? I mean about the dofollow links.

Competitor Inbound Links Increase from 175K to 1 million in 1 month, how?
Hi all, I was recently doing some competitive analysis on external links/DA and came across something peculiar. A competitor of ours had their external links go from 175,179 in August to 1,141,365 in September. I've attached a screenshot showing the increase. The competitors domain authority also increased from 82 to 89 in the same time span. Has anyone else come across such a large link increase in such a short period of time, while also being rewarded for it? Obviously at first glance it seemed extremely black hat and unnatural, but I would love to be proven wrong. Thanks! Cw5tN

Potential spam issue - back links
Hi - we have a client whom we work with for SEO. During a review we noticed in Webmaster Tools, there was an IP address with over 30,000 links to our clients site. The IP address is 92.60.0.123. From looking up the IP address details, it looks like it is based in Europe - but we are unable to establish what it is, where the links are and who created it. We are concerned it could be a potential spammer trying to cause an issue with the SEO campaign. Is there any way of finding out any more details apart from the basic information about the location of the IP address? Also - if we submit a disavow via webmaster tools, we are unsure what issue it will have on the clients site if we do not know what it is and the type of links it is creating. Any ideas? Thanks for your help! Phil.

Do I need to undo a 301 redirect to dissavow links from the source domain?
A client came to me after being hit by Penguin and had already performed a 301 redirect from site A to Site B. Site B was subsequently hit by the penalty a number of weeks later and we are planing on performing link removal for Site A. Only the webmaster tools account for Site B exists, none is still available for site A. I assume that I cannot dissavow links to site A from Site B's webmaster tool account (even though website A's links show up in the GWT account). So do I need to undo the 301 and then create a new GWT account for site A in order to disavow the links pointing to site A, or can I submit from Site B's GWT account since they are 301'd to site B? Thanks! Chris [edited for formatting]

Would you get link from this blog?
I have an opportunity to place a guest blog on a site. The site has the following metrics: DA/PA: 24/36 Inbound links: 3K+ from 16 root domains Here is what makes me uneasy: The number of links from the same domain, suggesting sitewide or footer links When I look at the backlinks, there are links from sites like http://best-american-law-firms.info/, or http://www.luvbuds.info/. They sare blogroll links that are likely paid for. Would you get a link from this blog?

Why is Google not punishing paid links as it says it will?
I've recently started working with a travel company - and finding the general link building side of the business quite difficult. I had a call from an SEO firm the other day offering their services, and stating that they had worked with a competitor of ours and delivered some very good results. I checked the competitors rankings, PR, link profile, and indeed, the results were quite impressive. However, the link profile pointed to one thing, that was incredibly obvious. They had purchased a large amount of sidebar text links from powerful blogs in the travel sector. Its painfully obvious what has happened, yet they still rank very highly for a lot of key terms. Why don't Google do something about this? They aren't the only company in this sector doing this, but it just seems pointless for white hats trying to do things properly, then those with the dollar in their pockets just buy success in the SERPS. Thanks

Need a Service to get back links- info on Youtube PR Ranking
I have about 4000 you tube video urls that I need someone to submit for comment links, and profile links, and other links above pr2 and above. (will consider lower pr too). The ones I see when searching, don't seem to be able to understand how to use their submitters. Yes I know PR most likely will not be passed, but at least the vid will rank better with higher pr. My pr4 vids do. It seems to be that you tube vids are easier to gain pr. When I do a link search for pr5 vid urls, it doesn't seem to return links that justify the PR, so any info on that is appreciated. Any comments about how I should not do this or any form of this will not be appreciated. Thanks
