How to remove bad neighborhood websites

Dear All,

How to remove bad neighborhood websites linked to me??

Can somebody check and tell me if http://www.thetimeshareauthority.com/ is clean website, no spam?

Many thanks

 

Afraid you can't remove the links from any sites... you could mail them and explain that you don't want your link on their sites.
The site you've specified seems like a clean site.

 

thanks for your advice. i will try to email them.
while using http://www.bad-neighborhood.com/text-link-tool.htm to query on my site: www.vietnamimpressive.com, it returned to questionable links - are those links are harmful?

 

Spammers trying to get traffic from webmasters themselves I'm guessing.

 

do you mean i am trying to get traffic from here? no way!
please note, i am asking real question for real problem not spam.

 

I tried the site.. It is pretty cool site. Thanks dude.. I never knew that this kind of detector ever exist..

 

Me too, haven't heard the site before. Don't have any idea how to fix bad result from the site..

 

Thanks for the link!! Good page.

 

I think you are looking at at this tool wrong. It shows links on your site, not inbound links to it.The results you are seeing indicate that you have a link to that site, not that it is linking to you.

"This tool will scan the links on your website, and on the pages that your website is linking to, and flag possible problem areas. This can greatly ease your seo efforts."

 

thanks very much lakecountry
as far as i know that Google does not care about bad inbound links to one side as actually you can't control them. imagine if this happens then how bad you will suffer if your competitors put your side in the penalized sites?

this tool is to check outbound links and i think it is an useful tool. people can use it.

 

Very true about inbound links, you really don't have much control over them and yes the tool is very useful, thanks.

 

It's a tool... but remember even when it says its questionable.. use your own judgment.. check it out and decide for yourself... the tool could just be coming up a false positive.

 

yes, i still wonder when the tool says 'questionable' but i really can't find the way to this - do you have any idea on own adjustment so that we donot remove clean outbound links?

 

Do not worry about links that are pointing to your site. You can not control what other people do. Google will not penalize any site for getting backlinks from bad sites. If google used to penalize for such thing then people will start to build backlinks for their competitors from bad sites.

make sure you do not link to any bad site from your own site. That is important.

 

Hi all...

I'm the one who built Bad Neighborhood. I'm glad you guys like it.

scriptglue has it correct... you need to use some common sense when looking at what that tool reports. It uses different metrics, but the most common one that causes a link to get flagged is the anchor text on that link. A link that says "Canadian Pharmacy", for instance, will get flagged... but so will a link to a news story that says "Local Pharmacy Gets Robbed". Even in the case of "Canadian Pharmacy" it doesn't mean that you shouldn't link to it... you have to look at the site and see to be sure. I'm sure many sites that sell drugs don't spam the search engines... the reason I flag them is because you will find many more people spamming pharmacy, gambling, and porn sites than you will find spamming college textbooks or kids toys (although I'm sure some of them spam too).

The tool is meant as a guide. If you look at a flagged link and it goes to New York Times, or your friends blog, then you can probably leave it alone. If it goes to a page with fake text and loads of AdSense, then you might want to consider dropping it.

Hope that helps.

-Michael

 

Many thanks Michael - you have been very helpful
So, tool works like an assistant, it is human always to decide the right things
Thanks again.

 

I think Google will not count those links against you because Google knows that you've no control on that unless it is outbound or reciprocal links.

 

or for the suspected outbound links just put rel=nofollow then free to worry...

 

Thank you very much Michael, really good job.

 

Good link, and thanks for the site Michael.

Perturbing, I am coming up quite a few bad neighborhood links, but they are stuff like my "add this" buttons and photobucket pics?
