      today i have created inbound link report using Link Research & Analysis tool and i found that there are number of spam inbound link to my website from lots of blogs and other sites Which anchor text are not relevant to my site. It contain some abusive words in anchor text like "viagra expiration date" and other.

      I want remove these irrelevant backlinks. As there are very high number of links approx 9000, its almost impossible to remove the links manually. Is there any way to remove and restrict those backlink?

      Whats steps required to protect any negative affect  to my website?

      Please advice asap.

        Dear Saurabh,

        There is a very low chance that those links might leave a negative impact on your website, because the anchor text doesn't match with your website subject at all. So I think that Google will simply ignore these links. Of course there is always a way to send an email asking to remove the link from the website but not in your case, where you have 9000 links 🙂

        The best what you can do in this case is to get some valuable links from trusted websites with relevant information, thereby you will get some credibility in front of the Google!

        Hope it will make sense to you,

        Cheers ,

        Russel

          No matter that anyone says, you can't be punished for outbound links to your site...imagine if I wanted to sabotage one of my competitors rankings in google, well I could order a load of spammy links couldn't I, I could even use proxies or some other technique to really hide my mischievous work.

          To be honest I have never heard of some one discovering spammy links to their site?? Are you sure you didn't order a link building service that has gone sour?? There is nothing to be ashamed of if you did....

          Good Luck!

            Blackhats build spammy links all of the time.
