Feedback on Link Removal Services

[David_ODonnell]

Hi Guys,

Not looking for a debate on whether or not to use link removal services (linkdelete.com, deletebacklinks.com etc), I'm just interested in hearing any feedback you may have after having used one.

What was your experience with the service?

Do you believe it helped you recover from a penalty?

Cheers.

Hi David,

If there are way to many bad links to remove, it is probably a good choice to invest in a link removal service (can save time and money). I myself haven't had any need to use one, but recently at an SEO conference we were advised by specialists to use an online tool named RMOOV (http://www.rmoov.com/) which they recommended if you have some link cleaning to do. There is a free option as well to give it a shot with 1 campaign.

Regards

Thanks for the info.

In this case I'm more looking for feedback on outsourcing the entire process to a service such as linkdelete.

The reason is, when a small business with very limited budgets needs their link profile cleaned up, (and can't handle it in-house) the only cost efficient solution I can think of is to outsource it.

Cheers.

Would people actually use those?

I would immediately dismiss them as being the parasitic version of directory-submissions-gurus.com in terms of trustworthyness

I guess you didn't read my first sentence

I am fully aware of the irony paying to remove links from crappy sites that were paid to be placed. But again, just looking to see if anyone has any specific experience with such a service.

Why? Because when people approach me after being penalized for having a rubbish link profile and I can tell that they can't/won't pay for my time to manually undo the harm (quite time consuming I'm sure you're aware), it would be nice to be able offer them an alternative. If, however, those services are not legit, or up to scratch, of course I wouldn't send people their way.

Thx

Even I want to know the final view Is it good to use them? Do you think Deleting links will create negative impact on google for trust and authority? If my site is already in penalty and I will delete few links, will they think that they have taken a right decision by removing us from top results? Well, lots of things coming in my mind!

Hi Broadbeach Media,

Nice to hear that people were recommending RMOOV - just a quick update - the free trial option is now Free Basic membership, which is 1 Campaign at a time.  Some SEOmoz TAGFEE rubbed off!

I'm in contact with a site that is trialing one of these services, will do an update once I have an idea of the results.

Hi David,

Any update for us? I'm looking to outsource as well since time is just not worth it to most clients, or they are just reluctant.
