We know that not all backlinks are equal. Yes, you have to build them in order to grow your ranks, increase brand awareness, and attract new customers to your business. Nevertheless, some types of backlinks can even harm your site. Today we will name seven kinds of backlinks you need to get rid of.
1. Links from link networks Links from networks can bury your SEO efforts. Thats because search engines see the acquisition of these links as a kind of manipulation. Links from random sites not related to yours, wont give you any value. Also, if the content is poor on the source that links to you, you also wont get any link juice. Forget about this tactic, and leave it in the 2000-s when everything only started to form.
2. Sitewide links Back then when search engines cared about link quantity, not quality it was possible to rank higher thanks to sitewide links. These kinds of links will not also give any value to your site. After noticing that many site owners tried to manipulate the rank with this technique, Google introduced Penguin. Yet, there is only one case when sitewide links are safe to build. This tactic became obsolete. Moreover, you risk falling under penalties for having too many sitewide links. It is when you identify a sites designer or development company, or privacy policy links.
Thats another approach from the 2000-s. SEO specialists used to leave lots of comments with links to sites in the comments section. The volume was so big that search engines introduced the nofollow attribute. That was the measure to help site owners fight spammy comments. That showed that this site does not relate to or allow giving out any value to the linking site. Nofollow links can still be beneficial for your site. Yet, dont just randomly put links on the questionable blogs comment sections. 3. Links from blog comments
4. Directory links Earlier building directory links was a norm for SEO professionals. Basically, directories were actually the early-stage internet. At some point, some specialists tried to hack the system to get more links. So, they started to automate the process to get lots of backlinks at once. Search engines noticed this and created mechanisms to fight this. This way, building most of the links from directories will look suspicious and you might end up under penalties.
5. Links with over-optimized anchor texts Your links should have anchor text. Thats a normal practice. But over-optimized anchor texts are a definite no. If you have too many of them you can also look suspicious for search engines. They will see this as spam. They will also consider these texts as manipulations and try to hack the system. So, your goal is to have balanced anchor texts for your backlinks.
6. Links within lousy or duplicate texts Text to which the link is attached plays a huge role too. If you build links from sites with poor-quality content that is unrelated to your industry wont do any good for your site. Dont expect to build weighty links and improve your site ranks if the donor sites have duplicate content. This also wont help your site appear on the first SERP page.
7. Links from unrelated locations You should keep this in mind especially if you target the local market. This way, if all of your links will come from the wrong locations, they wont benefit your site. So, if you concentrate on a specific service area, ensure you build links within your country. If its possible get also some from your states and citys sites.
Then you should manually check the links based on various parameters (DA, Spam Score, etc.). Moz provides an awesome guide on this. In most cases, link removal means contacting the website owner and politely asking to remove the link. If this doesnt work, you can disavow the unwanted link. Use a backlink checker of your choice to see who links to you. Form the list and download it in CSV format. 1. Collect your backlink data. Most possibly, you will find bad links that could possibly harm your rank. So, you definitely need to know how to get rid of them. 2. Detect harmful backlinks. 3. Remove bad links.

If you want your backlink profile to look healthy and dont have any problems with search engines, keep it balanced. Dont use tactics that were popular 10 or more years ago. Always keep an eye on Googles updates and what SEO industry experts are saying. Use white hat link building techniques (e.g. guest posting) to get the link juice and climb higher on SERP.
