When do i use disallow links in WMT?
-
Hello, i have in Webmasters Tools 66 links to my website and i see many links of forums and blogs that copied the same post from another blogs, etc.. There are 2-3 always, i am not concerned but i don't know if i should use this tools to eliminate some links.
What do you think? When should i use this tool?
Thanks so much.

So, these are sites that scraped your post and then linked back to it? If that's the case, the links are good, in a sense - they help Google remove the duplicates. I'm not sure what you mean by "there are 2-3 always".
What does your link profile look like outside of this. If there are 66 links like this, and these are the only 66 links you have, it's possible you could be at risk. If these are 66 out of 6,000 links, then I probably wouldn't worry about it, especially if they're not paid links or somehow engineered (part of a link network, etc.).

Honestly without seeing the site or the links that you are talking about for me to tell you yes or no is impossible.
Unless you told me that you have purchased these links then I would disavow them.
It seems that if you're not concerned then it should not be an issue.
Are the links relevant to your site?
Are the links from any sites that have a strong domain rank?
Are any of the links no follows? (if so don't worry about them.)
If there forms and blogs that are related to your site that does not make them inherently evil. Nor does it make them so bad that they must be disavowed if they're just from any form or blog.
However if it there in any way shape or form set up to trick Google into ranking your site higher than it is then that's one worry about.

Link removal
We were hit by penguin and have been going through the process of removing bad links. Things were looking up but then wasa 20% jump in our bad links. They all seem to be related. There are over 100 different domains that all seem to go back to mbiz. examples include http://www.5stone.com.cn/Literature-holders-.html http://www.building-stone.com/Display-furniture.html http://www.china-tombstone.com/Display-exhibition-products-.html It looks like they have automatically gathered data from google to create these pages. I would hope that the guys at Google are clever enough to be aware of these sorts of links. But if not I need to get them removed. I have tried whois but I cant find out how to contact these guys. Has anyone got any bright ideas? Thanks

How might Google differentiate between an artificial link exchange and partners linking to each other?
Hi, All! Artificial link exchanges (contacting a vaguely connected site and requesting to exchange links to increase your PR) is, as far as I know, considered an outdated, not-so-smart technique, as Google might devalue them. Yet, for real business partners to exchange links seems to be an entirely accepted and encouraged technique. While that would be intuitive to a human who's viewing the pages. how might Google detect when two sites that link to each other are linking because they are trusted business associates (valuable) as opposed to when they are doing a link exchange (devalued)? Thanks! Aviva

Link Building....confused!
Hi Guys, I'm after some advise please. We have a client who offers self catering accommodation to let on his website. We are looking at ways to increase links to his site and one idea we had was to possibly affiliate ourselves with local companies within the areas of the specific accommodation. Our client is looking to partner with local business's in each area of said accommodation (probably two of each kind) and then send the details of these business' with whatever special deals they will offer customers on every confirmation that goes out to the clients. Obviously, in return, these business' will then link to Room-B. What I'm trying to find out is if linking to partners via an email delivered from thewebsite is safe in terms of link juice: it's important that Google doesn't index any outbound links to partners from us at all. Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
