Link Removal Services
-
I have seen a number of these services pop up over the past few months.
My question is, has anyone used them, and did you see any results?
Here is a few example of the ones I have seen appear recently
-
First, let me begin with full disclosure. I am Russ Jones, CTO of Angular (formerly Virante) and creator of Remove'em. I will do my best not to make this an advertisement in any way and answer the question more generally about link removal services.
"My question is, has anyone used them, and did you see any results?"
The answer here is a definite yes. We should probably distinguish between link removal tools and link removal services. There are some tools out there that assist with the link removal process (Remove'em, LinkRisk, LinkDetox, and Remove'em etc.) and other tool/service blends that perform a degree of the link removal process (Remove'em Full Service, RMoov, etc.) and finally some service-only models (LinkDelete, etc.). I will say that I am personally unfamiliar with the service-only models so I will refrain from comment on them out of ignorance, not because they couldn't very well be useful and effective.
The blended services, by and large, appear to be effective. We have researched our competitors and I assure you if they were a sham, we would have made that clear in our marketing material by now
These services tend to provide the following improvements upon DIY...
1. Existing relationships with link purveyors to accelerate link removal.
2. Outreach technology that allows them to better find contact info.
3. Existing databases of contact information tailored to this industry.
4. Knowledge of Google expectations for successful reconsiderationHowever, you don't need any of this to run a successful recovery, the question is just a balance of your time and money. If your lost revenue from lack of rankings, cost of time/services (ie: employees or existing SEO firm running removal campaign) are greater than the costs of these services, they are well worth your consideration.
If you have an specific questions about these services beyond their efficacy, feel free to respond here - I would be more than willing to help.

well if you link at some of the websites that Matthew gave as examples, that is exactly what some of them do. I can for a second see how a website can determine instantaneously what back links needs to be removed.
There is no doubt that there are companies out there who would go through the process with a fine comb and get you the results you need.
You just have to be careful with our choice just like you do with choosing an SEO agency.

Hi Duke
I dont think the process is automated in any way.
It seems to be that they have a team that will do all the hard work for you.
This included analysis of the links, and then reaching out to web masters and asking for the low quality links to be removed.

Why do you think this "They are similar to those companies offering you cheap links. The long effect on your website will be painful."
If someone is being paid to remove links and would provide a report as to what links existed prior and an updated list showing links removed how can that be harmful to your site?
-
If you have time , follow below step to remove your bad links
1-Check your backlinks in Webmaster Tools
2-Look for backlinks from outside your country
3-Look for multiple backlinks from same website
4-Check homepage of site linking to you
5-Check most common anchor text used
6-Check pages your links are on
7-Create spreadsheet of all sites linking to you
8-Check Serps results of sites linking to you
9-Find contact details of sites providing bad backlinks
10-Email them and ask for your links to be removed
Hope it will be helped you.

I would suggest you stay well clear of them. They are similar to those companies offering you cheap links. The long effect on your website will be painful. To be honest, I would question anyone who claims can automate link removal. The process of removing links is a long and painful process which requires human to do it. There are bits of the process that can be automated but the final decision on which links to remove can't.
Take a look at this Q&A for some useful steps http://www.seomoz.org/q/does-anyone-have-any-suggestions-on-removing-spammy-links
Other tools that might be useful are

All the best

Thanks for the link Rebekah, much appreciated.
Yeah, I'm a bit like you ,very hesitant with these sort of services.
I did have a look at this tool last week and it does look very good and provided some really useful analysis in to each link.

I haven't used any of these services or tools, but I took a look at what you listed.
Removeem is more of a link management tool that lets you note who you've contacted and what the status is. That seems really useful if you don't want to keep track of all this another way, such as Excel.
I am personally a bit hesitant to use "link removal services" but that's just me.
I also haven't had a chance to watch this yet - bookmarked it for when I have time. It is a webinar from SEOGadget about link removal. SEOGadget really knows their stuff so I am sure you will find some valuable advice in here.

Link building strategy - my weak link!
Please help me understand link building. I've read the articles on Moz, but they seem vague to me. Specific questions: 1. How do I get my webpage on good quality sites? 2. Guest blogging? Good or not? 3. What about when people pick up one of our blog stories and publish it on their site with a link back? Is that bad now because it is duplicate content??? 4. Forum posts with a link in the signature? Good or not? 5. Directories - I get it that these are no longer good... are they severely negative? Should I take them down. 6. PR - Looks like this is bad... right??? 7. Youtube - any value? 8. Pinterst, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram? Any value to backlinks here? 9. What about sites like redit? 10. Anything else I should consider?

Why am I getting links in my link report from sites that no longer exist?
So, I have a link report from Link Detox. And I'm going through all of them and considering what sites need to be removed. and trying to find emails and contact webmasters. There is just one odd thing i'm starting to see more of. A lot of links are on websites or webpages that no longer exist. The link no longer exists. Some of the domains are even available for purchase. Why are these links showing on the backlink report and are they really harming my website? Also, do I need to add these links into the disavow document that I will submit to Google?

Anyone have experience with AdTaxi for link building services?
Recently a client of ours received a proposal from a local newspaper for search related services, including link building. I believe the name of the company the paper is working with for some of these services is AdTaxi, which i had not heard of before. Anyone have experience with these guys from a link building standpoint? I know that here we are more "do it yourselfers" and for the most part, we handle all of the on-page and technical SEO for our client's sites, but link building as a dedicated service isn't something we have the resources to offer so I'm just looking to do some research. Thank you! -William

Link in the footer
we have a sponsored link in the footer of a website, and since that footer is displayed on each page of that site, it shows that we have thousands of links coming from that site. my question is : does Google consider this as spamming? and does it help us , harm us, or has no effect?

SEOs and web developers frequently leave links to their site in the footer of their clients' sites. Does this negatively impact the site with the links?
Does this provide any SEO value to the receiving site? Has anyone experienced problems doing this?
