Why my banklinks haven't been removed?

Hi Everyone

So I had over 1500 backlinks in under month, and i found out it was coming from a directory.  I asked them to delist me from the directory, but it still shows i have these links pointing to me.  How do I get completely take them down?  Also I contacted myseotools who I use and they said

"It is most likely because you have some dynamic pages that can create thousands of various URLs. Maybe a directory? This is not an issue with our software as it comes directly from ahrefs. Try going to ahrefs.com and enter your domain to see where all the links are coming from."

I proceeded to do this and its definely coming from that 1 directory.  They said they have removed me from they directory, but my question is I can still see I have 1500 backlinks coming from their domain?  Does this take time to clear? Or have I missed something in the process?

Hi Justin

Can you share your site URL? What tools are you checking? When did they remove the links?

What I am thinking is that your tool is taking time to update. You may not see that information updated for a couple weeks to a month sometimes. It's definitely not common for tools to instantaneously reflect removed links.

Let me know, I'd like to take a peek.

Hey Patrick

Thanks so much for your help! Sorry for the vague explanation.

Here is my website www.zenory.co.nz

The tool I'm using is https://agencyanalytics.com/ who gather their backlink data directly from ahrefs.com

Thanks Patrick I would appreciate your advise!

Hi Justin

No problem! From what I can tell, I am not seeing anything alarming. Your backlink profile looks fine in Majestic And OSE.

I would just hang tight and let your tool update. Again, sometimes these things take time to reflect.

Feel free to shoot me a private message if you continue to have issues!

These will likely clear when whatever tool you are using crawls them again and realizes the links aren't there anymore.

Thanks for the confirmation Richard!
