Bad back links

Hi Folks
I seem to have approx 587 back links to my homepage from this site kitchendetailsanddesign.com
since my entire site has under a 1000 back links;
-
I wonder if I should be worried?
-
I've tried contacting the webmaster to remove them but no luck
any tips

It is the email tied to your webmaster tools account
-
WOW? How would you figure out what email google has for you?
-
thank you

thanks mate

Don't sweat it! Unless Google just sent you a message that you have a problem with bad links pointing to your site there is nothing to worry about. Google reps have stated many times that there isn't a problem with having potentially nefarious sites point to yours- otherwise people would build evil links to their competitors sites to try to take them down. This isn't the case. The only exception is that if you are paying for a link with them or it appears that you are, you may be penalized or removed from the index. As of last week Google has been letting people know with an email if their links are questionable.

Depends on where those other links are coming from. If your link profile is natural and you have a few juicy, high authority links, I would not worry much.
Also, if your content is high quality and users like your site (bounce rate, time on site and average paveviews wise) I would not worry much even if the link profile wasn't so great.
Knowing what site we are talking about would help the evaluation

Don't worry. Site-wide links happen, and having a couple here or there won't harm you. What matters more than the raw number of links pointing to your website is the number of unique sites (domains) that link to it.

302 redirected links not found
There are so many 302 redirected links you found among which most are for the pages which needs users to login to view the pages so redirection to login page is unavoidable. For example: https://www.stopwobble.com/wishlist/index/add/product/98199/form_key/QE0kEzOF2yO3DTtt/ Also we don't have product compare functionlity, but still there are so many links from compare page which redirects to respective category page. For exammple: http://www.stopwobble.com/catalog/product_compare/add/product/98199/uenc/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5zdG9wd29iYmxlLmNvbS93b2JibGUtd2VkZ2Vz/form_key/QE0kEzOF2yO3DTtt/ We need to know from where Moz crawler is detecting these links so that we can supress them from being crawled. I already tries to review overall site and confirmed these links nowhere exists in page source or in sitemap.xml

Should I no follow all external links?
I have worked with a few different SEO firms lately and a lot of them have recommended on the sites I was working on to "no-follow" all external links on the site. On one hand this traps all the link equity/Pagerank. On the other I would think this practice is frowned upon by Google. What are some opinions on this?

Recently checked our link analysis report for 2 of our campaigns who are registered in the dir.yahoo.com (yahoo directory). For some reason, we don't see this being a domain that shows up as linking to our website - why is this?
