When Google's WMT shows thousands of links from a single domain... Should they be removed?

[BeytzNet]

Hi,

Looking at Google's WMT "links to your site" it shows few sites that have thousands of links pointing to mine.

There are actually only 1-2 links pointing to me from a site that Google shows 2000.
I assume that it is simply because they don't have canonical tags.

Should I ask for the 2 links to be removed?

Thanks

You can ask the webmaster of that site to correct the links so they go to valid pages on your site.  Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with them.  Just make sure you have a nice 404 page on your site so people who follow the links can find their way to your content without too much difficulty.

Thanks but you miss understood me.

The link is good and valid.
However, WMT shows as if it has 2000 links to my site and not only 1.
I assume that the site that links to me is poorly built and has no canonical tags etc.

It also happens when the site that links to me has the link in a certain page and the page number keeps changing then google shows the their url with parameters such as p=23 and also p=24...

Should I disavow that domain?

Google just launched the disavow tool, and unless you've received one of those dreaded Google warnings, I'd be very wary of using it.  Lots of sites have duplicate content issues or site-wide links, so it's not all that uncommon for a site to have 2,000 links to another site.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about it.

Are they spam?

Not necessarily, one for example is an aggregation site that brings articles (or headers) from other sites and it shows as if he has 2000 links pointing to me. Some are directories (not that good ones) that also show 100-200 links pointing to me.

These  are not links that I mind removing... but I wondered if they currently do extra damage showing that many links. Does google think these are types of site wide links?
