Would you recommend getting rid of a link from Gimpsy?

They charge around $20 to remove it. They appear to have page rank but our link also has anchor text.

Thanks

    Any opinion on this or just keeping it disavowed rather?

    Thanks

    Looks like a semi-decent directory link. I wouldn't remove it or disavow it.

      You should never have to pay to remove links.
      Matt Cutts has stated to simply Disavow backlinks if a webmaster is requiring you to pay to get one removed.

      Additionally, he actually stated that they want people to report cases of webmasters requiring users to pay to get backlinks removed from their website so they can look into it.

      Going to try looking for the video where he actually stated this, but if I can't find it, it's one of Matt's videos he's done on Google Webmaster Help.

    I wouldn't pay to have an individual link removed either. Skip it.
