How to find out unnatural links on our website?

i have around 3000 backlinks to my website, previously my website ranking good on google SERP's, but after google update my keywords are ranking on 1st and 2nd pages. some one suggested me to remove unnatural links or low quality baclinks. please suggest me what kind of links i have to remove and how?

 

Unfortunately you can only do it manually. You will either have to get into that on your own or hire somebody to help you. I recently had to go through a list of 2000 backlinks. Ended up having to disavow nearly 60% of them. It took two full days of work, but hey, now google likes our company website again! Worth it.
Tip: Use a mass moz-rank search on your backlinks and go ahead anything with a rank under 15-20, depending on your niche. You MIGHT lose a few natural links, but honestly, with 3000 websites I'm sure you can spare a hundred to make your life easier.

 

Well, I suggests in place of removing links just concentrate on building more quality links now onwards. Such a way, you can reduce the ratio of low quality links vs high quality links. Which eventually leads high search engine rankings.

 

yes ! I am agreed with NadaBolt. So focus on creating new high quality backlinks. Because you may loose some good links as well in removing bad links. So, firstly create new good backlinks.

 

I prefer Majestic SEO to Moz. It's free for your own sites, and the data is very complete.

 

I prefer Ahrefs to Majestic. Majestic's results are often outdated in comparison to ahrefs and their usability in comparison is painful. Trying to download a report in majestic takes way to many clicks. AHrefs can do it in a matter of two clicks.

For the OP, if you don't know what you are doing you can do more damage than good. There are services that can help you clean up your links for oyu and remove the unnatural links, one service off hand is http://www.linkdelete.com

If you want to do it yourself you will need to understand what makes a link unnatural and the type of links google has been going after.

Also, are you buying any paid links?

 

First, you need to collect all your site inbound links with any back link tool.

I recommend you this free app: http://webmeup.com/tools/backlinks.html

Next you need to analyze each and every link you have found and soft out bad-quality and spammy one. Alas, but it needs to be done manually - you will have to assess how valuable each link is and disavow all unworthy ones.

 

Pretty good reply! Also helped me too, I didn't check moz-rank... Even when I found this thread, I still can't understand how this mass checking will help my website see WHICH backlinks are bad!!

 

301 redirect it and build a new website. Saves you the hassle.

 

Hye..devieye

You can use Google webmaster tool to check back links and but check quality of back link, it is manual process.

You can categories by PR, Cache date, quality of content, theme etc...

 

Hi, I had a similar problem and removed about 200 links from one forum only pointing to my site. When I did so my site was back up again.. So in other words, see if there are too many than 10 links from one single page.. sitewide links are something google does not like no more.

 

All links coming to your sites are available in Google webmaster tools. Now you have to see which one is bad and which one is good.

Mostly bad links are from irrelevant sites remove it immediately.

 

Well, by looking at the page authority, domain authority, page rank and yes some sort of common sense now most of you'll go mad on me and ask what doesn't this mean, so I think better for me is to clear some things the idea behind saying common sense is just by looking at the link you can get an idea that it is spam i.e. they have created link just for the sake of creating nothing more than that ! if you ran down the link in which repetitive comment like "useful information", "good information", "nice information" and along with the comment you would find links then that is sure a spam links, you also need to check that if a site has multiple outbound links then again that's a spammy site, another thing is the niche like you are having a technology related site and you have created a back link from the some medical site then that link is going to act as spammy link. So, i think now i am able to clarify term "common sense". I hope nobody urge with me on this .....
