Section Traffic tool In Google webmaster tool find the Traffic tool section which provides links to your website. From there you can download a list of all external links that Google has identified point to your website, also find out which of your pages have been most linked anchor text and use most often. For further analysis, since Webmaster Tools cannot collect all links captured, we can use tools like ahrefs or more known Open Site Explorer . If you’re looking for a list of external links that point us we can use the following filter: 1. Show Followed + 301′s (no follow links exclude them because Google ignores them, and do not pass PageRank to our site) 2. Link From only external 3. Pages to on this root domain to cover all subdomains and pages 4. And by Domain Group for the tool to group the links by domain, thus facilitating further work Another signal taken into account is the wide use criteria text. A candidate site to suffer a penalty is one which:
More than 75% of their links with the same anchor text as exact keyword
Little use of the mark or the URL as anchor text
Rummaging through links Bond position. Find your link in a cloud of links, footnotes along with many side is usually not a good sign, especially if the site or other links have little or nothing to do with your site. Nobody uses Directories. There are thousands of web directories to put your link. Links are more readily available and therefore a temptation for many webmasters and SEOs. Use your keyword as anchor text prized in many directories that nobody uses and whose sole purpose is to store links is another very clear signal.

Massive use of a single anchor text. As mentioned before the approach of using anchor text is critical because it is one of the easiest ways for Google to determine if the links are unnatural or artificial. Payment links. Clickable posts of your product or service and obviously without providing much value to you are a risk especially since Google Penguin. Check how often you update the blog where you published your link, if your publication frequency is low and is principally engaged in the practice it is best to remove your link Blog Networks. Google is getting better at detecting connections between sites blogs and uncover networks is one of the favorite tasks of Penguin. Poor quality sites. Your links to websites full of ads advertising with little content and little or no updates are suspects.
Attacking the Problem The best way is to define a standard email to send all webmasters and use an excel with the following information to use in email application to withdraw link:
Website
Page Link
Anchor Text
Link destination page
email Webmaster
Status: request sent, responses received, link removed, etc…
If it was any partner should be easy to retrieve the contact information of the sites where we request links. If we hire an outside company to these tasks will be more difficult to know this information. In case you do not provide it we recommend the following tools for contact information:

Domain Tools Domain tools is a website useful tools who is give us information about any website, such as IP, associated company, name and mailing address. The Webmaster cannot provide some of this information but there will always be some clue where further research.
C-Class Checker If your list undesirable websites links are large, especially If you hire deal 1ooo link type for paid. C-Class Checker allows you to enter a list of domains I identify patterns in common, as common IP, or network shares root domains.
SpyOnWeb If you suspect one URL you can use this tool to know that other domains are associated with the site. SpyOnWeb associated websites will tell you the same Google Analytics UA code, that share the same IP or DNS servers. We do not guarantee that you can get rid of all the unwanted links with this system which ultimately need Webmaster action where you have the link but this is the most organized of it.
