Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We have partial match penalty in WMT on one of our smaller sites.

There are a few (less than 10)  instances of widgets linking to us using our Brand Name as the anchor text. Would this fail a reconsideration request do you think?

The widget links without the no-follow attribute.

Thank you Tom - I like it - if in doubt, take it out.

We will contact the businesses with the widget and ask them to remove. If we can't get hold of them, do you think disavow will be satisfactory before filing a reconsideration?

Additionally, I have read recently there is an option to remove URLs from within WMT (a section called "optimisation.") But I cannot see this - and wonder if I have misunderstand.. (It looks to me the only section in WMT regarding link removal is an option to remove pages from within your own website from the index?) Is there a section in WMT to remove inbound links from third party websites?

Thanks indeed for your help
