        <META NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex,nofollow"> will stop Google from indexing and crawling unless other pages link to the page in question.

          i'm taking about inbound links which are removed long ago.

          those links are still showing as inbound links in GA and in Open Site Explorer.

          i want to remove those links from GA/Open Site Explorer

            OSE can still report links that have been deleted due to it not being updated on a daily basis

            The last Open Site Explorer index update was on the 8th October. How long ago did you delete these links?

            Just to clarify, inbound links from other sites? If this is the case, are you still receiving traffic from these links which is being reported in GA?

              Yes, i/m talking about "inbound links from other sites?"

              no i'm not receiving traffic from them.

              those links were removed 2-3 months back.

                Hi Vikram, With one of my sites, GWT is still showing links that were removed over 4 months ago. OSE was much better and stopped showing them in under a month. I guess you will have to wait it out. We actually submitted the list from GWT to the Google disavow tool just for good measure. I am not saying this is what you have to do. I am just reporting what we have done. Mash

                  Hi Vikram,

                  That's very odd if the links were removed 4 months ago and are still showing up in OSE. Our index is updated monthly and never uses cached information. And OSE pulls directly from the index.

                  I'd love to check into it more for you if you can give me some examples. If you'd not comfortable putting that information here, you can email me at help@seomoz.org and include all that information.

                  Thanks, let me know.
                  Cheers,
                  Joel.
