        I'm assuming you are referring to link that you did via some networks....  where it is a little harder to remove the links since there is no direct connection between you and the link host?

        Assuming that to be the case - (since otherwise the course of action would be pretty straight forward) - then I would do as I stated here.

        Sorry to post a link to a previous one of my answers - but it was quite a long one.

        Did you get the notice regarding unnatural links in GWT ?

        Let me know if I can help further.

        Carlos
