That did already happened, spamming competition and then report them. This tool makes it possible to remove such bad links. But to be honest I dont think this have any chance if someone wants really do some damage to you. There are plenty of cheap link blasters out there which will cost you a lot of work to make undone. About the tool, it has some value but I dont think you should expect short term miracles of it when you are hit.
I don't think there's any magic formula. I just put interesting content on Squidoo and people are coming to it to the tune of 350-400 visitors a month. Your content has to draw them.
Its great if unwanted backlink you are not able to delete you can disavow.... its means google will not count in your backlink...
Okay, so the tool is good. But my doubt is Can i use this tool to remove selected links of my site. Does it offer a select option?
You being banned only adds to the credibility of your statement. Did you actually read some case studies? Most likely not. Time to take off your tinfoil hat and do your homework about what happened to EzineArticles over the past 2-3 years. Also, it doesn't matter what PR a site is, it doesn't mean it will PR or weight (or much of it). As an example: I have some PR4 and PR3 Squidoo pages, but they pass not PR at all. Who cares, though, as they make me some money and send some traffic. Job done. Now look at the influence of these sites since Google started with Panda and Penguin. Have you noticed the complaints by people who created manipulative links? So yes, these sources have been devalued (although for something like Squidoo, the value isn't in SEO). You keep getting dumber. There is more than PR at play (trust, authority, to name just two of many). There are many ways for a "machine" to tell the difference between a link from the two. Going by your ignorance on this, you don't come across as programmer, so it probably wouldn't occur to you. So, I suggest you stop by your local uni, there's bound to be someone studying computer sciences and doing (or has done) automated quality scoring as a project and is willing to give you a tutorial. For a fee. Google already knows. It's giving a chance of "clean slate". You are so anti-Google you can't look at anything objectively. Read what Google (not that you would believe them, wrapped up in tinfoil and all that) has written (and also the analysis and "testing" Rand Fishkin did). These links will get silently ignored, a penalty is a result of a manual review. So, it's going to be quite obvious if this is a vicious attack of a competitor (sudden appearance of spammy links), or the type of SEO someone has done all along (a history of spammy links). Anyway, enjoy your ban. Exactly. Squidoo is great as another source of traffic. Who cares what it does for rankings.
