And time savers.

110. Inbound links with rel=“nofollow”
Not part of Google’s link graph.
Can’t help. Can’t harm. Period.

111. Links from de-indexed networks
No longer have the capacity to harm you
Can harm if re-included, which is unlikely.

112. Google Webmaster Tools
It’s enough to clean links exported from GWT
No need to pay for additional tools. Nice!

113. Don’t remove all your links
Identify bad links and remove in stages.
Document and communicate frequently.
