My website has been linking to some spammy/bad neighborhood sites, and this has cost my ranking in google. Should I just delete the links or add rel="nofollow" to the links? Which would be better?
I say delete the links. Each link counts against page rank and even if no follow tags are used it still is a link out of your site.
best option is to delete. did you link exchange with that site? you have a 1 yr agreement??? hehehe..
I have some pages of just links, should I delete the pages or just remove the links? Does Google frown about deleting pages? Thanks for the input.
If you use this page for reciprocal link then it will be better for u to delete the unnecessary links from that page. Delete the link of link farms if u provide a link to them. As per my knowledge google have nothing to do with which page u remove but yea ur reciprocal link partner have problems. If they r unable to found their links from the page u specified they can also delete ur links from their site. Thanks day kevi
