Google webmaster tools sees over 300 links on my website that are no longer there. I assume they are old links that are probably a few years old from the previous owner. My question is do I need to get these removed from google? It's also throwing off my keywords. I show a list of 100 keywords and a lot aren't even related to my content that's there now. Do I just need to wait since I recently uploaded my old blog to this site and submitted it to google a few days ago? I am also confused at why google only indexed 1 page.

You could get them removed to help things however at the same time it takes Google a few months to get things straight....google moves slow with regards to SEO & links..... As for indexing....hard to say without seeing the site but a nice high PageRank link to your sitemap page will get you indexed faster...or try a Digg post, stumble, social bookmarking...
