      This site http://herwigphoto.com/bs/ and other like it have thousands of similar links containing the word adidas  We are not in the sports shoes business, therefore the links are irrelevant and many and can hurt our rankings, correct?

      |  Page Title/URL of Linking Page | Link Anchor Text | Page Authority | Domain Authority |
      | Christopher Herwig Photographer » Soviet Bus Stopshttp://herwigphoto.com/bs/ | adidas Yeezy Boost 750 Grey For Sale | 48 | 47 |

      Below are some links to our geographics.com website that have URLs that are not ours. They will redirect to our homepage. How do we remove these links and how do we deal with the websites that send such links to us? There are thousands of inbound links to our website with anchor text containing irrelevant keywords such as these: yeezy-750-boost-light-grey-cheap or adidas-yeezy-boost-750-light-grey-sale; pirate black sale, etc

        Contact them to remove the link to your home page. Most likely, they will not communicate back with you. So ALWAYS disavow those links.
