i can't delete all of the artificial links pointing to my site.
i asked my seo companies several times to delete those links, however they could delete only 10% of them. 90% are still active.
there are about 1000 unique domains. they are totally spammy, low quality, irrelevant links to my business.
google keeps saying that my site is violating their guidelines. i informed them many times that i don't have control over those links so i can't remove them. nothing changed. google still penalizes my site. what would you recommend me to do ?

    Welcome to new-ish updates from Google.. For months they've been making webmasters work at removing their own links, which is just horrible practice. Let's face it, removing 90% of your links with 1,000's built.. You have to stop and think, is it worth all of the time your spending on it? Are you going to see a ROI if you remove them all, and at what risk % you don't, then what.. Vs. Starting over and not going backwards.

    Not to metion, check the link reports, plenty of companies claim they removed links, but the reports hand checked will prove otherwise..

    Other then nothing is going to change, take adsense off it and start over in my opinion since you can't remove them

    I would get a new domain asap, or figure out a way to monetize your site without organic traffic from google.

    If you depend on Google for most of your traffic about the only thing you can do is start a new domain & don't spam it out with crappy links. Your not going to get 1,000+ domains to remove links, not going to happen in this lifetime.

    I'm guessing here, but I would imagine the money site isn't a high quality site If you paid money for spammy links. Surely you knew what type of links you were buying, before you made the decision to buy.

    Next time around, point your paid links at buffer domains that you 100% own, that way you can dump the links anytime you want. Still, it's a good idea to lay off the junk links to begin with.
