      I left a comment on a site's blog post maybe 2 months or so ago. Yes, that blog has DoFollow comments on. It turns out that site uses one of those sidebar featured comment widgets, and has a crazy amount of duplicate pages due to an unruly wordpress install, pagination and attachments indexed.

      Well, I checked my google analytics recently and it shows that I'm getting 652 links from that site. Ahh.. Should I ask the blogger to remove my comment? Or should I let it go, and wait until google reindexes that site? My links don't technically show on all those pages anymore because since that time, the blogger has gotten more comments that are now featured instead of mine.

        Just wait it out, don't think removing the comment will help you anyways as G still has it indexed... did your traffic drop or anything?

          No, it didn't. My rankings have been steady increasing these last 2 months from various things I'm doing to improve my SEO, but I didn't want to risk getting dinged for it.

            • Does removing pages, so that they return 404, also remove any impact of spam links pointing to that page?
