From Newbie: Can web developer remove the backlinks built by siteowner himself thru directory submission and press articles??
it's possible but it would require, 1. Finding a listing of all the links 2. Emailing webmasters and asking them to remove the link If you have a lot of them out there, this can really be a daunting task. Good luck
And give them a good reason to remove the link if he is not the owner of the site and the guy who makes the submission
Or can the web developer do some tricks of redirecting on server/ or some other ways? It's just a knowledge base query from a newbie as to what all are possibilities a developer can do?
