Remove links after Penguin?

[mathiasppc]

My site did not get hit.

I am worried that Google will come back and get me for those anchor-text links I built a while back. They are of low to medium quality guest posts. Should I remove my old low-quality links? What about those on sites and pages that have been deindexed by Google? Any point in removing those?

I know we can only speculate at this point, but would really appreciate some opinions on this.

Has the trend in the past been a slight rollback after a big algorithm update like this? Or could we expect to see more and more sites being penalized?

Hey, expecting Google to settle down against low quality content and links in my opinion is a lousy thought! I think it’s great to check your profile and remove the links that looks SPAM!

In all honesty, guest posting links are usually fine unless they are on blogs that contain solid SPAM back link profile.

I would recommend removing the links from the websites that are no more available in Google index!

Other these the above advice I would highly recommend to remove the site wide links and add some good textual links from the profile… Rankings may fluctuate a bit but its way better then getting hit by any black and while Animal!

Thanks Moosa!

I wouldn't have thought removing links from domains that have been deindexed would make a difference, but I'll look into it and make the changes.

Would love some more opionins on this.

Thanks again!

The reason to remove links from domains that are de-indexed from Google listings is because mots of the times domains that are de-indexed are caught as the participant of some low level activity.
