hi, i have some websites related to indian bollywood celebrities and mp3 songs and other related issues like movie reviews and music reviews and much more. but one of my website got delisted from google for quite some time. now that i searched the awstats of the site, i came to know that my website is listed in two porn websites as a part of link exchange programme when i was a newbie and tried to build strong backlinks by using a stupid website named linkmarket.net. that was the stupid thing i have ever done for my child website. now i need help from experts here regarding how to remove links from those porn websites because i think those sites are banned by google and just because of that my website is delisted from google too and how to list again in google. thanks in anticipation
While it is up for debate, I believe the general concesus is that sites linking TO you can NOT do any damage - after all, you can't possibly control who links to you all the time. You said you did a link exchange, have you removed the links going to the porn sites from your site? I assume you have so you should be ok. Also, you can email the webmasters of these sites asking them to remove your links since you removed theirs and are no longer interested in trading.
There has been a lot of debate about negative seo and if your competitors really can damage you by link to your site from bad neighborhoods. I have had mixed results. For the last 5 years I have maintained just what the previous poster said, "after all, you can't possibly control who links to you all the time" (diamondsinfo). Yet, I have seen sites go into the sandbox from getting too many low quality links too quickly. However, I think this is just a property of sites that are fairly new, like less than one year old. It could be simply that getting too many of "any" kind of link (even good ones) will result in sandboxing. I don't know. But Google knows that one never gets too many "good" links that quickly! Only "bad" links are available like that.
