Hi Can anyone help me find out the owners of few directories. I need to remove links from this directory. Have tried several times but no contact. Thanks
Have you visited the directories themselves to look for the removal process? Most directories have instructions on how to remove listings or add a NOFOLLOW tag to a listing. As NIMA mentioned, it would be helpful if you mentioned what directories you were talking about.
Very few directory owners add links without being asked to and they may charge for removals. How did your sites get in those directories if you didn't want them there in the first place?
As mentioned can only summize as to the reasons, but if its anything to do with a Google Penalty simply use the disavow tool, if you are unable to get hold of them, or cannot find a means of contacting them or amending the entry.
If that really worked, no one would harass the hell out of directory owners with ridiculous legal threats, DMCA's, and nastygrams...
If the Directory owner don't have the contact details, simply Diswow the link through google webmaster tools!
Actually, the better directories do that all the time. For several years now, I have been working for various directories doing just that, seeding their categories, and adding value to the directories. A directory that only adds submitted sites is little more than a link farm.
