Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Start with the page itself - is it adding value to your website? If not then even before you think about links you should consider re-writing or removing it. If it's a quality page with useful or interesting information on it then so long as the page isn't spammy then you should be okay to keep it. In a recent WBF, Rand suggested that ways to deal with negative SEO (whether caused by yourself or someone else) include: 1. Trying to remove the 'bad links', assuming you've worked out which ones are bad 2. Building more good links to outweigh the bad ones. Like you said, if you have good links, you may not want to lose them. If you're talking about a page that has been penalised (potentially during Penguin) then fix any issues with the site's content itself and then file a reconsideration request. And then get on with some great link building and promoting of your page.

Hi Charles, Thank you for the response. Just to clairify, as I have never had a penalty, or anything like this happen in the past. If Google devalues my links, then I should not worry about removing them since they are not passing link juice? I've never used a blog network, and I have not revived any messages from Google in WMT about spammy links. I appreciate your help. If anyone else has any repsonses, I would love to hear them! Thank you, Pete

Have you think about develope any simple joomla's module/plugin? A link to your website from JED will be so relevant... Infographics are a very good natural way to do link building, because a lot of sites are going to link to you in a natural way. Share a good theme in VERY RELEVANT sites is a good option too... A lot of sites downloading yout theme is an important factor that Google loves. If anyone is downloading your files is becauser your files are interesting, and Google wants people finds RELEVANT INFORMATION. I hope it can help you
