Hi ,

I am the webmaster for an eCommerce website. And we are dealing with books. We have more than 1 million pages in the website. And there are  lots of incoming links pointing to our website.

Recently as you know there was a penguin update by google and we got  a notification that we are having links from lots of unauthorized websites and hence our website got penalized . Therefore  we started the procedure for removing our links from all known websites where we have included in our website.

But there are lots of websites where we don't know how our links got on their website. And it was very difficult to remove them. Hence we sent them the email to remove our link from their website. But sill that hasn't worked. So we used the google disavow tool. And google sent us some urls,  for example 3 urls . But we are having more than 1  million urls which is pointing to our website.

I guess it's a daunting task to remove the bad links from these many websites. Because in process of removing the bad links we might end up removing good links also. So this might hurt our ranking in search engines.

I would appreciate if you guys can help us in this regard and thanking you in advance.

As the webmaster for an eCommerce website dealing with books, I understand the challenges you are facing with regards to the recent Google Penguin update and the impact on your website due to links from unauthorized websites.

Firstly, it's important to continue the process of reaching out to known websites where your links are included and requesting their removal. However, if this is not possible, using the Google Disavow tool is the right approach. When using the disavow tool, ensure that you are only disavowing links from truly harmful or irrelevant websites, as disavowing good links could indeed harm your search engine ranking.

Given the scale of your website with over 1 million pages and the potential vast number of incoming links, it may be beneficial to utilize specialized SEO tools to help identify and manage these links. Tools such as link auditing software can help to analyze and identify the backlink profile of your website, flagging potentially harmful links and helping to prioritize the removal process.

It's important to continue monitoring your website's search engine performance and rankings while addressing these issues. Seeking assistance from an experienced SEO professional or agency could also be valuable in managing and resolving these link-related challenges.

Lastly, stay proactive in monitoring your backlink profile and continue working to remove or disavow harmful links to protect the reputation and ranking of your eCommerce website.


You can use Google webmaster tools to see all linking domains, download them all. Then search for software called "Netpeak Checker", it's free so you can easily download it. Then run this software after adding notepad or excel sheet that contains all of your referring domains.

Then see which domains are de-indexed by Google or showing 0 or N/A index pages. Chances are these domains are banned by Google and most probably harming your website. So make a list of these domains and then submit these links in Google disavow tool, hope they would soon remove these domains and things would be good again.

Hi,

As per your suggestion, I have installed the software "Netpeak Checker" but not able to run it. While running, it is showing some application error. Can you suggest any other free software like "netpeak checker" to identify the harmful links.

Thanks in advance.
