How I Removed 30 Internal Links in 2 Minutes...

Sometimes when you talk about on-page SEO, we only think about adding new internal links or optimizing articles.

However, what if we want to REMOVE a bunch of internal links pointing to an old article? (There could be several reasons for doing this).

I just removed 30 internal links pointing TO one of my old articles in about 2 minutes. Doing it the "old" way would have taken my closer to 2 hours...

Here's the old way of removing internal links pointing TO an old article:

  1. Figure out what internal links are pointing to that old article. You will need a tool like Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, or other SEO tool to run a report. If you don't have one of these tools you might have a really hard time figuring out your internal links.
  2. This report just gives you a list. Now you need to login to your site and edit to the first article on the list.
  3. Find the internal link in the article by scrolling through the article.
  4. Highlight the anchor text and remove the link.
  5. Now go to the second internal link listed on the report, edit the article, find the internal link, and remove the internal link.
  6. Repeat this process 30 times (or however, many links you need to remove).

This process would easily take over an hour to remove just 30 internal links. In fact, in my estimate it would take 2 to 4 minutes to remove each internal link. (Logging into article, hunting for the internal link, removing, waiting for your article to save... So, it could take as much as 2 hours!

Now Link Whisper enters the chat...

Link Whisper makes removing unnecessary internal links SO much faster and easier!

I just went through this process 4 days ago.

I noticed that one author kept linking to one particular article that was a guest post on my site and I wasn't really trying to rank that article!

As a result, I had ended up with over 36 internal links to this old guest post! Yikes!

So, instead of following the old process I listed above, I followed the new Link Whisper process.

  1. Went to the Reports on Link Whisper for this particular article to see that it had 36 internal links pointing to it.
  2. Expanded the report to see the exact articles linking to it, plus the sentence and anchort text being used. (2 seconds)
  3. Clicked "Select All" to select all internal links pointing TO this article. (2 seconds).
  4. Unchecked 6 articles that actually seemed to be a good fit to link to this article (1 minute).
  5. Click the "Delete Selected" button

Link Whisper automatically removes ALL of those internal links I selected with one click. I don't have to log into any of those articles to remove the links...Link Whisper does it all!

I easily just saved myself over an hour of work by using Link Whisper.

I've added lots of links, removed lots of links, and edited anchor text MANY times this year using Link Whisper.

I've easily saved myself many many hours this year.
