At June's SMX Advanced, Google's Matt Cutts mentioned the possibility that Google may implement a disavow links tool, but nothing definite is planned at the moment.
Last week, Bing did announce they had implemented a disavow links functionality in their webmaster tools, so you can use that for their search results at the moment.

Do your best to remove those bad links especially those that you can manually remove. Recent updates do not look kindly to links that appear unnatural or manipulative so removing them would be best in the long run.
In the cases where you don't have control over the sites, which provide the bad links, then you have no option but to contact the webmaster. If you get no response, then perhaps one can remove the low-value pages that are being targeted by the bad links. But this might not be viable if the majority of bad links are targeted to your blog's home-page.
One of the last options you might take would be to start over, get a new domain, and move your move your DotA blog. The downside to this is losing the inbound links and off-page ranking factors for your blog. You can rebuild them by aiming for relevant, high-authority links. Focus on quality over quantity so that you'll avoid the problem of having bad links to your site.
Hope this helps.

You will have to remove them one by one unfortunately! Yeah I took a quick look at your link profile and you have links from health websites and stuff like that. Unrelated to your blog! Just keep working on building a better link profile.

hi,
thank you for help, google webmasters did not left any msg about bad link... i was told here that i have some bad links...
so i will try out weight it with guest posts.
for example if i have about 100 bad links how to remove them all or do i haveo one by one ?
tnx

If you created them you should try to remove them. If that is not the case, try to contact the webmaster of where your links are.. it's a long shot but some will remove the links. Gather a list of every link that you think is doing you wrong and use that list as a guide for removal. Do whatever you can and as much work as you can to get them removed and document your methods used.. whether it by emailing, on site support, snail mail or phone call.. make sure to write it down.
You may be able to get a reconsideration but I doubt it unless Google Webmasters specifically left a message about bad links. You will have to keep guest blogging and building links naturally to out weigh the bad. You could start over, grab all your past blog posts and save them, start a new blog.. go back to fix your guest posts to point to your new domain. That may be the quickest way and better unless your site is still bringing in allot of visits. It really depends on your current situation. I'd say for me.. if my website was bringing in 250 people a day rather than 1,500 per day from before.. I would try and save it.. anything less than that I would probably spend my efforts to create a new website with best practices.

Disavow links old links
We have built a lot of sites and there a few sites we no longer manage or want any association with. When I have looked at webmasters I can see 20 to 200+ odd links back to our site. The page however at source has no reference to our website. I have searched the code but there isn't anything. Is it safe to disavow these or just leave them?

Do you still loose 15% of value of inbound links when you redirect your site from http to https (so all inbound links to http are being redirected to https version)?
I know when you redesign your on website, you loose about 15% internally due to the 301 redirects (see moz article: https://mza.seotoolninja.com/blog/accidental-seo-tests-how-301-redirects-are-likely-impacting-your-brand), but I'm wondering if that also applies to value of inbound links when you redirect your http://www.sitename.com to https://www.sitename.com. I appreciate your help!

Links in a Flash document
How do I tell if a link in a Flash document is follow or nofollow? Or doesn't it matter? (I just found out that my company placed an advertorial in a Flash publication and I want to make sure it doesn't wind up as a paid, followed link.) Thank you!

Remove Bad Links Or Build New
Hello, After deeply assessing our back links we have come to the conclusion that we have too many links that have been devalued and also some spammy looking links.... Our next question is do we remove these bad links and start a fresh or do we just build new white hat links?? Thanks, Scott

Advice on too many onpage links
Hi Just done a 250 crawl on a new site I am working on (still under development), all 250 pages seem to have too many on page links, however they do not have any links I can take away This page, for example, http://empleous.com/gb/store/category/398743/shoes?price=20-50 has (according to moz crawl) 252 links on. Seems a little high. What would be the best way to correct this please? I cannot find that many links. I know there are about 85 links in the menu bar but they are all needed and none of the others can really be replaced either. Thanks Carl

Too many links on my site
Hi there everybody, I am a total SEO newbie and i am burning with questions. I had my site crawled and found out that it contains too many links. The reason is that it is a site where I constantly write news and articles and each one of them is a new Joomla item, thus a new link. I actually thought lots of content is good for SEO. How am I supposed to reduce the link amount?

Good links pratice for listing pages?
Hello, I'm wondering which is the best way to handle this kindle of page... You can have a look at my screen capture, or see directly my page here. I've in my case, for the same "ski resort", 3 differents anchor link type (title, image and more info…), all of them are going on the same page. I know it's not that good, my idea, it to keep only the more info like, but with a better anchor link, something like : more information about this ski resort... Thanks in advance 🙂 Best regards links.jpg
