StumbleUpon is receiving regular requests from people asking for it to take away their links to their sites, as the site owners are not comfortable in connecting to from a popular and long-standing social media sharing site is somehow hurting them with Google. The linksanity sorrowfully continues.
Ever since Google stepped up its onset on bad links, in specific with its Penguin Update, there’s been panic in some quarters about getting links removed. It’s not about taking off all the links but about removing bad links.
StumbleUpon is an established, good social media site. This site helps people to share links with others, in a channel surfing approach.
That is a much diverse situation than acquiring links from article websites that frequently appear to have no other intention but to let people gain links. These types of links, where they don’t obtain and subsist mainly for the intentions of just having a link, such type of links have tended to Google targets.
It is true that Google does want people hit by its Penguin updates to remove bad links from the sites. Google doesn’t want people to just depend on the disavow link tool. But asking smo sites to remove your link is a no purpose in it.
What’s Google’s judgment on this? It wouldn’t comment on StumbleUpon especially, but Matt Cutts who is in the leading position on Google’s web spam team advised that people should use the disavow tool if they can’t remove a link they want to from a site.
As for StumbleUpon, it’s not overwhelm with these requests, featured them as “handful” per week. But they’re really unnecessary. If you indeed don’t want your links on the site, you should use the disavow tool. But you should put your effort into other areas.
