      Hi everyone

      We removed a load of links from a site over 2 months ago but they still show in Google webmaster tools.

      I understand Google will not be reading this links as they were removed so long ago.  However I just was interested when Google might update these as not showing as linking to us anymore.

      I like to try and keep things tidy and its a bit frustrating it would be good to be 100% sure what Google is counting at any given time.

      Cheers

      James

        Hi James,  Google has to index those pages again to remove your link which will going to take too much. Then after "Link to your site" data also takes time in removing links so I prefer to "disavow those links" as well by using Google webmaster tool.

          When you are using disavow does it update your webmaster quicker or do they show on webmaster for some time still?

              Yes they still take but by disavow links you would be on safer side that why I prefer it.
