On July 20th, Google sent out a batch of new link notifications that scared the webmaster community. Google then informed us we can relax about those notifications because they are ignored links that don’t specifically hurt your site.
Still, there was a lot of confusion. So over the weekend, Google’s Matt Cutts posted a detailed blog post on what these notifications means. He wrote:
Cutts Says Do Not Ignore The Links
Matt Cutts said do not ignore the links despite what we thought Google told us to do on that Friday.
Anyway, Matt goes into more details on the Google Webmaster Blog.
A WebmasterWorld thread has Tedster saying he would still focus his time and resources on other things and not go after removing links in this link unharmful notifications.
Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld.
