Backlink Management & Removal
Is your site suffering from a Penguin penalty or is it at risk of being affected due to its backlink profile? Google penalties slam the brakes on any SEO campaign so you need to make sure you’re well and truly in the clear if you want to see your rankings improve!
At Ignite Search, we combine our years of experience and track record of SEO success to offer an unparalleled backlink management and removal (also known as a link pruning) service.
Why removing bad links is important
If you want to ensure that you get the most out of your SEO efforts, it pays to trim the harmful backlinks that are working against you. Our bad links removal service takes care of it all for you.
One of Google’s search algorithm updates, known as the Penguin update, began considering a site’s backlink profile. If too many unnatural or suspicious links were found to point to a site, the Penguin update saw that and pushed the site down in the rankings. Instead, Google’s algorithm then favoured sites that appeared to have earned their backlinks organically.
How a proper backlink management and removal plan can help you
To get the best SEO results, our backlink removal service might be necessary for you if your site:
- Has been penalized by the Penguin update
- Is at risk of a penalty (or already has a penalty)
- Has had an SEO agency building backlinks for you that may be low quality
- Has been around for many years and may have potentially gathered low quality backlinks overtime or may have low quality backlinks gained through old methods of link building
- Has seen a huge influx of backlinks within a short amount of time
If you are unsure whether your site fits any of the above, it is worth having our experts take a look at your backlink profile. If you know you’ve been hit by a penalty, now’s the time to get your site back on track.
Bad link removal can also be a great proactive strategy to use if you want to make sure you’re safe from penalties. Proactive link pruning has been known to contribute to successful SEO campaigns by reducing the risk of being penalised.
What’s involved in a backlink removal strategy?
Backlink removal campaigns are incredibly time consuming. Finding and analyzing each individual link that points to your site is hard work. And that’s not even half of it!
Reaching out to the webmasters of the sites that link to yours and asking them to remove the link is the crux of this strategy and cannot be bypassed. While time intensive, this method is the most effective and also abides by Google’s guidelines and best practices.
There is also Google’s link disavow tool that can be used if the site’s webmaster does not respond or does not take the link down. While this method is certainly much easier, it alone cannot help recover your site following a penalty.
We’re sorry to say, but there really is no way to fast track the link removal process. You just have to put in the necessary time to reap the SEO rewards.
