• Is there a way to prevent other sites from linking my website to theirs? Or is there a way to at least make them ask to link?

    You don’t want people to link to your website? Is there any particular reason why?

    I don’t mind if sites link to the website, in fact there are several I plan on leaving.
    I am new to SEO and I have read that bad links or a bunch of links that are spam hurt with search engines. The website I am referring to is my church website that I am managing. There are several dead page’s linked to the website. One of the link backs is a porn picture. I’m not hating on porn but If possible I would like to be able to screen who has a link back to my site.
    I am trying to figure out how to get certain links removed.
    Do you have any tips???

    Google webmaster tools, I think, has a way of tracking this. Or you could try a plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/incoming-links/

    It does! https://www.google.com/webmasters/

    Also, that’s a great plugin you found. ??

    Thank you for suggesting the plugin that is exactly what I was looking for. I found the links through bing webmaster tools they show more links to the site than google does but I do not know how to contact the webmasters of the sites. I tried the whois website but I’m not sure if anyone is actually getting the emails I sent requesting them to unlink to my site.

    If they don’t have an email address, contact form, or comment system, whois is pretty much the only option you have to get in touch with them.
