Link Removal

... when you want to get unlinked

[austtr]

Just been checking monthly stats and I see one of my family tourist sites is showing a hardc**e p*** site as a new inbound link. Now what intellectual giant came up with that one!

I want to be rid of it and will tell the webmaster accordingly (if there is an address). In a worst case scenario where that instruction might be ignored, how do you get rid of unwanted links?

<added> no sign of any email addresses on the site

ouch .. :-) I will be watching replies to this as I would also like to know :-)

I'm afraid that's not possible.

Does that directly or indirectly mean that it hurts the webmaster and he can't do anything except sending them a friendly email if at all hecan find the REAL guy behind the URL?
