Percentage of good links vs. bad
-
Hi
Does anyone know the best way of determining good links from bad links using the SEO Moz tools?
I bought some directory links to two or three pages on my site a few years back. The were all very obviously spammy because of the anchor text and I didn't have a high enough ratio of good links to counteract them.
I read somewhere that if more than 10% of the links to a page have the same (or similar) anchor text, it's obvious that you're on the bad list.

There is really no set % of anchor text and links that will get you penalized. Everything is speculation and best practice.
Everything is up to the webmaster and usually they know which links are bad. It is best to be honest.
As for checking bad links, they are usually the ones with low domain authority and page authority. You should extract your backlink report from OSE and weed through the low quality links(low DA/PA).
Good luck!
