I’ve found for you a guide that is meant to help users with the link auditing process that doesn’t rely on automation, but on your own judgement. Naturally, you need to be be careful with any link audit, since a flawed link audit can go quite badly if not done correctly.
Modestos Siotos has created a guide for those who are interested in a link audit for effective backlink removal. A warning by Modestos himself…the present process isn’t going to work with ALL link-related issues.
With that in mind, check out Medestos guide for removing links and risk mitigation by following the link below!
