Link removal from search rank checking sites

[CHarkins]

I'm going through the link removal process for unnatural links to a site.

While I'm able to identify the obvious link profile and seo-article links that Google wants removed, what should we do about the links that are generated by the various seo link investigation and ranking services?

Example: http://www.seoprofiler.com/analyze/allamericanfencing.com

This site (seoprofiler) automatically creates these links to web sites when it generates its reports. Are those links that need to be removed or disavowed, or will Google not care?

I want to err on the side of caution, but don't know how to treat these types of pages. The site didn't ask for or lobby for those links, so it's "natural" in that sense, but they're not editorially earned either (except for happen to be ranking for a similar term).

Does anyone have experience on this aspect of the unnatural link grooming process?

You are fine, don't worry about that. In the instance you provide, it looks like the link back to the website is a nofollow anyhow. This is not a problem at all - things like Sitejabber.com, digsitevalue.net, websitelooker.com, dawhois.com and all the rest may publish non-editorial links to pages and its really not an issue. You can't control who links to you and not all links are editorial in nature.

If someone paid for links, then they tried to control who links to the site, and you are now in the process of removing that manipulation/control.

I ignore these links when I do backlink audits.  They're obviously not self made and that's what matters.
