If you created them you should try to remove them. If that is not the case, try to contact the webmaster of where your links are.. it's a long shot but some will remove the links. Gather a list of every link that you think is doing you wrong and use that list as a guide for removal. Do whatever you can and as much work as you can to get them removed and document your methods used.. whether it by emailing, on site support, snail mail or phone call.. make sure to write it down.

You may be able to get a reconsideration but I doubt it unless Google Webmasters specifically left a message about bad links. You will have to keep guest blogging and building links naturally to out weigh the bad. You could start over, grab all your past blog posts and save them, start a new blog.. go back to fix your guest posts to point to your new domain. That may be the quickest way and better unless your site is still bringing in allot of visits. It really depends on your current situation. I'd say for me.. if my website was bringing in 250 people a day rather than 1,500 per day from before.. I would try and save it.. anything less than that I would probably spend my efforts to create a new website with best practices.

hi,

thank you for help, google webmasters did not left any msg about bad link... i was told here that i have some bad links...

so i will try out weight it with guest posts.

for example if i have about 100 bad links how to remove them all or do i haveo one by one ?

tnx

You will have to remove them one by one unfortunately! Yeah I took a quick look at your link profile and you have links from health websites and stuff like that. Unrelated to your blog! Just keep working on building a better link profile.

Do your best to remove those bad links especially those that you can manually remove. Recent updates do not look kindly to links that appear unnatural or manipulative so removing them would be best in the long run.

In the cases where you don't have control over the sites, which provide the bad links,  then you have no option but to contact the webmaster.  If you get no response, then perhaps one can remove the low-value pages that are being targeted by the bad links. But this might not be viable if the majority of bad links are targeted to your blog's home-page.

One of the last options you might take would be to start over, get a new domain, and move your move your DotA blog. The downside to this is losing the inbound links and off-page ranking factors for your blog. You can rebuild them by aiming for relevant, high-authority links. Focus on quality over quantity so that you'll avoid the problem of having bad links to your site.

Hope this helps.

At June's SMX Advanced, Google's Matt Cutts mentioned the possibility that Google may implement a disavow links tool, but nothing definite is planned at the moment.

Last week, Bing did announce they had implemented a disavow links functionality in their webmaster tools, so you can use that for their search results at the moment.

Ok. i will do that than for bing.. But unfortunately I can not delete the links or modify.... so I hope that guest posts will bring good for my blog after google update.

Do you think will my blog be better after google update while i am working guest posts ?

Tnx !!!
