1. Google will take time processing your link removal file They won't immediately discount links, and even then they are only going to apply the NoFollow attribute. This won't be an immediate solution and will take time. 2.

As owner of the site, where you work honestly and in accordance with the guidelines, you'll need now to check and see who else is linking on your page?
