This document provides advice on how to audit links and identify risky links that could lead to penalties. It recommends using a link auditing tool to divide links into those to remove, disavow, or keep. If penalties are received, the document advises removing links, using disavow files, and in some cases rebuilding links cautiously. It warns that over-removing links can be as harmful as under-removing. The key takeaways are to build links carefully, manage link profiles closely, and not believe unsupported claims, as sites with well-managed links can still succeed.

removing!
If you determine what the problem
links are, out of every 100 links you
identify as bad Google probably
only thinks 20 are bad!
Removing all 100 is as bad for
your rankings as getting penalised
in some cases!
