Removal of Links

Links.com occasionally receives requests from people to remove links or cancelled materials from its indices. Although Links.com reserves the right to address such requests individually, the general approach that Links.com takes reflects the following principles:

Links.com's indices consist of information that has been identified, indexed and compiled through an automated process with no advance review by human beings. Given the enormous volume of web site information added, deleted, and changed on a frequent basis, Links.com cannot and does not screen anything made available through its indices. For each web site reflected in Links.com's indices, if either (i) a site owner restricts access to his or her web site or (ii) a site is taken down from the web, then, upon receipt of a request by the site owner or a third party in the second instance, Links.com would consider on a case-by-case basis requests to remove the link to that site from its indices. However, if the operator of the site does not take steps to prevent it, the automatic facilities used to create the indices are likely to find that site and index it again in a relatively short amount of time.

Links.com stores many web pages in its cache to retrieve for users as a back-up in case the page's server temporarily fails. Site owners may block Links.com from returning cached versions of their pages by using the NOARCHIVE meta-tag. Site owners may also request immediate removal of cached page from the Links.com Directory Service. Links.com evaluates such requests for the immediate removal of cached content on a case-by-case basis and does not guarantee that every request will be granted. The steps necessary to remove cached pages, and to prevent a site from being cached and/or included in the indices are described in the Links.com Help, accessible from most pages of this site.
