Removing Unnatural Links reported by Google's Webmaster Tools

Wow, I'm actually impressed that Google assists webmasters now by telling them that they may/are being penalized for unnatural backlinks. Is that something new? As far as I can remember, it was up to the webmaster to take a guess why their traffic was decreasing.

Because I'm completely clueless as to what you're referring to, can you explain a little further? Does it just have a notice saying there are unnatural links with no further information or does it go into more detail? It doesn't give you any clues as to what to remove?

Google Webmaster Tools gives you a good sampling of the sites that link to you under Traffic-->Links to Your Site. You can download the entire report into an Excel spreadsheet. You're going to have to go through them and see which ones look spammy, are "bad neighborhoods", have too many links on the page, have lots of unrelated links on the page, are pages unrelated to your content, etc. Anything that would be "unnatural".

Unnatural backlinks can also mean that you're building backlinks just way too fast ... at a speed that is not consistent with your site's growth, and is "unnatural".

Google webmaster is boon for webmasters it tells about the 404 error, HTML error, duplicate page, title and meta description. We can set geotargeting and remove unwanted pages from google data base and many more.

Frankly I think it's INSANE to spend time and energy deleting backlinks - especially if you don't even know IF they are the cause of any penalties. Many links can't and won't be removed even if you tried or asked. Some of the links you suspect (or even paid for) may even be HELPING you to rank well in Bing, Yahoo and elsewhere for all you know.

There's 1001 sources of free site traffic besides Google Organic Search. Trying to change the past is a fool's errand. Just move forward building fewer, but higher quality links. Improve your existing content and write better new content to attract the sorts of visitors that will build links naturally - FOR YOU.

One thing I think it's important to understand is that Google doesn't really CARE if your site doesn't rank well. Getting onto Page 1 is increasingly ONLY reserved for the most trusted and aged sites. It's simply an ever-shrinking noose that fewer and fewer websites will qualify to be part of.

I've been hit hard by Panda - then Penguin updates. But it doesn't matter. I'm building a sucessful business model that doesn't NEED Google to keep my face fed. Live in the moment. Life's too short to spend it living - and working to 'please' Google. Build websites for PEOPLE and yourself - not an algorithm you can't control.
