How to Remove Unwanted Links
-
I dropped like a rock in Google rankings on the 24<sup>th</sup>
of April. After having to become familiar with Google webmaster tools and doing
allot of investigating I discovered that there is a website www.siteloki.com that has 6,742 links to my website. I have
tried to contact siteloki with no response. I tracked them on Whois to an
office suite in LA called the building to find that the suite listed is the
building management suite. I have had
the following sent to them via email, their contact page and posted on their website
forum and still no reply:Please take action to remove all links to this website
immediately!I have been notified by my client that your website has a
malicious attack using links from www.siteloki.com
against www.getyourphotosoncanvas.com.My client did not solicit these links, pay for these links or authorize any
third party to build links for them. They just appeared. The links are even
pointing to my client’s old website (same url). This is a big problem and I
don’t understand why these links exist. There are currently 6,471 links from
your domain. Please remove these links immediately or we will consider legal
action against your company. We have contacted Google on the behalf of our
client and informed them of this malicious act. I expect to see these links
removed immediately!Regards,
I have submitted the site in the malware reporting section
of webmasters tools. I have searched but cannot find any documentation on how
to block this type of attack. It seems that Google failed to provide any means
for an honest website owner following the rules to block this type of attack and
as a result we have been unjustly penalized by Google with a drop to the bottom
in our page ranking.I would appreciate ANY HELP in removing these links and getting the Siteloki website blocked from linking to my website?
Any Ideas?

Does your client have any webmaster tools warnings about suspicious back link profile? If so, you should be able to file a response showing all your documentation on getting them removed and google potentially will take measures to not attribute any value to those links.

No, there were no warnings in
Webmaster tools regarding the harmful backlinks. I discovered this in checking
the site.I wanted to know if there was any
way to remove these links or let Google know that the links are not something
that we wanted or paid for or arranged from any third party._Google should have a method for
website owners to submit a website that is linking to them that they want Google
to block or ignore for rankings purposes. _
