Subject: Blocking incoming links from being counted
I have been running into a couple of issues with regards to incoming
links to my websites:

1) I have a couple of domains resolving to the same DNS and the old
domain is counted as incoming links to the new main domain.
    ex: www.pwoo.org and www.professionalwomenonline.com are two
different domains that are resolving to the same DNS.  I blocked the
www.pwoo.org from getting indexed by Google, but the incoming links
are still being counted.

2) Link farms are pulling domains and adding them to their sites as
content that happen to be loaded with links.
     ex: My www.professionalwomenonline.com has sites like
http://www.lookforthailand.com/business_woman.html that use links to
gain content for rankings are pointing to it.

The site still gets quite a bit of traffic and great conversions, but
I would like to be able to avoid any potential flagging as spam since
Google is cracking down on incoming links.

Is there a way we can block incoming links in the webmaster central so
that we don't get caught up in the mess?

Like I could submit www.pwoo.org as a URL I don't want counted when
linking is considered, and the http://lookforthailand.com as well.

My homepage for www.professionalwomenonline.com was last visited on
March 12, 2007 and www.pwoo.org was last visited on July 21, 2007
(even though it is the one I submitted to not be indexed) - I am
wondering if this is one of the causes.

Thanks for listening :o)
