How can I block incoming links

[pizzaguy]

After having some link exchanges and using the same title on my incoming links it seems that I ended up with -950 penalty from Google. I was wondering if there is a way to block googlebot coming to my site from those links. I think now it is impossible to contact 100s of people to remove my links from their web site.

Thanks in advance..

So, I guess there is no way to block incoming links so that SE does not follow? Anyways, thank you.

You could change URLs and start over. Contact your good links and ask them to link to the new site, ignore the rest.

If you get rid of those outgoing links which you added to your site they wll no longer act as a link exchange.

Find the sites that you want to stop and use a server side redirect to another domain for those IPs - the spider will follow on to the next site and then link from there to your site.
