How should we handle re-directory links? Should we remove these links?

[Lorne_Marr]

We are currently cleaning up bad links that were purchased by a previous SEO agency. We have found links on anonym.to pages that redirect traffic to our site automatically. How should this be handled? Should we remove these links?

HI Thomas

If the redirects look dodgy get rid of them.  Redirects feel spammy unless they are 100% legitimate and can be justified as logical to the end user.  We have all got caught in searches in the past where you click a clink and then get a cascade of redirects going on.  Google want clear transparency for entry to a site.

Hi Thomas,

I would just look at the redirect's link profile. If there's nothing shady with it's links, then there's really no problem.

Redirects are actually really awesome. The biggest ecom sites use it often.
