Hi,

I was working on a blog post recently that included a link to a company’s website. A few minutes later, I decided to change the post and delete the link. In the few minutes that the link was up and published, that company detected that I had linked to them and the link to my outdated post showed up on their website, tracking back to my newer updated post. Is there anyway to prevent sites from linking back to posts that are expired or updated?

Thanks!
