      Hi,

      I didn't get any message on google webmaster but I am trying to figure out if I have any poison link.

      I will share here the process I went through, and if someone can tell me if I am doing it right or not I will be thankful.

      1 - I went to Google webmaster and click in "links to your site"  the number is huge.

      2 - I went to open site explorer and the total the links to my site is 10% of the number on google webmaster.

      3 - I decided to work with the report in the open site explorer.

      4 - I got all the links in open site explorer and used http://tools.seogadget.co.uk/ to check the links.

      5 - Only 13 links had the status as "unsafe"..

      If the links are not in the open site explorer means that they were already removed? Why the number of links in the google webmaster tool is so big?

      I am looking at list of links "unsafe", but for me they don't seems too bad or poison, I will paste here the list of links... what do you guys think about those links? Could those link make my traffic go down?

        Google notes more links because O.S.E. is only taking into account what it measures as the strongest links to your site.  The GWT is looking at a more accurate number of total links.  So the discrepancy in total number of links does not mean that they have been removed.
