 * Hello,
 * How do you remove bad backlinks? My site recently gained many bad backlinks and
   I need to remove them before they harm my website’s Google rankings.
 * Thank-you

 * You can’t remove links from other sites. You have no control over anything that
   other sites post.
 * What you can do is go into your Google Webmasters account and disavow the links
   a syou find them. That should work for what you want.
