Have an interesting situation here that I am dealing with and want to pick everyone's brain. I have been building links to my wife's website for several years now and have acquired quite a few. During that quest she was hanging her license with a local C21 office and I had several links with anchor text that mentioned her name along with the office name. For instance, "Jane Doe - Century 21 ***" and then a desciption. Some were just anchor text while others were contextual, etc.

This year she has left the C21 office and is with a different brokerage. I have removed every evidence of C21 from our website and as I find different forums or sites that I registered her on I have changed the profile to reflect the new brokerage. The C21 office has contacted me on more than one occasion now to have all the links removed that cause her to still rank for any searches with the C21 office name in it.

My question is this. Am I legally bound to have hundreds of links that are out there between directories, blog comments, forum posts, etc updated and or removed? Does my responsibility not end with my website or any other site that I have created or registered for? Or am I to assume that I have to call Google and say "Hey, can you take those links down for me. Especially those ones on pages that haven't been cached since February of this year." (sarcasm)

Curious about your thought......
