What is link cleaning?
Link cleaning is a crucial part of the modern SEO and penalty recovery process.
After you've identified the risky links pointing to your site, you need an effective process to remove or 'clean' them. In some scenarios, it can be effective just to disavow risky links. But in others, such as when you have a manual link penalty, it's essential that you actually clean them.
In general, it's a good idea to clean the links even if you could get away with just disavowing them - let's face it, it makes better sense to know they're actually gone.
Link cleaning can help you remove a penalty or protect from getting one in the future. If it’s done as a preventative measure, link cleaning has been shown to improve the overall quality of your link profile and keyphrase rankings.
Link cleaning should be a thorough process that’s carried out manually and methodically. It should ensure any unnatural or risky links are removed properly, ethically, and your actions should be documented at every stage along the way. If you’re looking to get a penalty removed, Google will want to see evidence that you’ve taken real steps to clean up your link profile.
What we can do
We offer a meticulous link cleaning service to help secure your site against any links that might be holding you back.
Once we’ve confirmed the list of links to clean with you, we hunt down the correct contact details for every site. We email them a request to remove the link, based on a template that can be personalised, and contacting each site at least three times through every available contact method. We use a remote email owned by you to make sure the removal requests look legitimate to the sites being contacted, and so we can submit the emails to Google if required.
All responses are handled one by one. Some webmasters will ask for payment to have the link removed – we’ll negotiate where possible and liaise with you on the costs. If we find some webmasters are slow to respond, we'll shout from the nearest lamp-post to get their attention and keep at it until we have the desired effect. And we know a few other legal, ethical tricks to help motivate them.
Throughout the entire process we’ll record our steps in an accessible spreadsheet format so that you (and Google) can see each step we’re taking to clean your link profile. At the end of the process, we’ll confirm how many links have been cleaned.
