Google penalty removal expert questions
-
We have searched online for a Google penalty “expert” (individual or company) and have located what appear to be “experts”.
Please provide feedback on the following 2 individuals/companies we have found that can help with penalty removal.
Have you or one of your clients used either of the “experts” below?
What were the results?
How many disavows and reconsideration requests did you/they have to make?
1.www.penaltypros.com . To give a quote and to see what your links are they use links from Google Webmaster Tools only.
Penaltypros.com disavows first and then removes bad links second. This is opposite of what Google and Seo’s recommend but penaltypros.com claims 100% success using this non-traditional approach. See imgur.com link for screenshot.
2.http://www.hiswebmarketing.com/ To give a quote and to see what your links are they use links from https://ahrefs.com/ only.
Please provide any and all feedback on the above 2 “experts” and also post the websites, individual names, company names of those that you consider Google penalty removal “experts” so that we may obtain a quote from them.

Thanks for considering Penalty Pros to assist you with your Google penalty.
Whilst I obviously believe strongly in our service, we can equally vouch for Marie and her team - they do great work (and I can't say that about many...)
All the best!

We received an email from Google WMT on April 7th, 2013 notifying us of a manual action taken against our site due to unnatural inbound links. Our SEO company at the time (a very well known SEO company) didn't respond to any of our emails or phone calls about the WMT notice for 3 days, and then finally told us to "just ignore it". Our rankings plummeted and after much searching we found Marie. We hired her on May 29th to handle the penalty which was finally revoked on October 4th. Unfortunately we were hit by the Penguin update on May 26th and didn't get our link profile cleaned up in time for the October 4th Penguin update. So we're still penalized.
We had to submit about 5 reconsideration requests in all. When Google rejected our 4th reconsideration request they gave us an example URL that wasn't reported in WMT, or in any of the other link reporting tools (sneaky Google). But Marie used the link as a clue and found 5 other URLs with the same scraped content. We quickly got those links removed, submitted another reconsideration request, and voila, the penalty was revoked. It definitely took a lot of work.
Marie is very knowledgable as a link analysis and penalty expert and is deeply committed to her customers. The nice thing about working with her is that you pay her once, and she will work until your penally is revoked, no matter how many reconsideration requests she has to file.
I highly recommend Marie and hiswebmarketing.com
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thanks for the kind words Michael.
Your site was one of the most difficult ones that we have dealt with. For some reason Google was extremely picky. But, I think that it was important that Google made us find close to ever possible unnatural link. We're already seeing improvements in your traffic and I expect that when Penguin refreshes you'll see even more.

Thanks for including us in your search! I just wanted to clarify one point. Although we base our quotes on the number of linking domains listed in ahrefs.com, we use links from every source we can find including WMT, Majestic SEO, Open Site Explorer and our own tool that finds links that are in the Google index but not in the above mentioned backlink checkers.
I'm happy to answer any other questions you may have. We do honest work and we are very good at removing penalties.

I inherited a nasty case of bad link building and 3-way link schemes I had to deal with midway through 2013. I carefully vetted dozens of "experts". I went with Marie and her team at hiswebmarketing.com and have have no regrets.
The manual process they use is strictly by the book. You'll also have an opportunity to review your bad links to make sure you don't lose any good juice. Considering all of the manual labor and documentation required, I think their price was more than fair compared to the competition. I thought the penalty was a death sentence but it's been revoked and I'm back on page 1-3 (depending on market) for the main keyword I was penalized for.
I'm pretty confident that if you go with hiswebmarketing.com your penalty will get revoked.

The "Fetch As Google" limit has been decreased - what now?
Since Google decreased the "Fetch As Google" limit to ten pages per day, we've been a bit stuck. We're publishing 20-30 content pages per day, targeting a huge range of search queries. Circa 40% of our traffic comes to us through these pages. Since we're now heavily restricted on submitting these to Google, who's got other ideas to get the pages picked up quickly? I'm slightly concerned because although the pages link outwards to other areas of the website, no other areas of the site link to these pages. They're purely top-of-the-funnel. We can't be the only people with this concern. How would you address it?

Should I implement 301 Redirects vs 410 in Removing Product Pages?
I manage an ecommerce site and had a question about 301 redirects vs 410 when removing product pages. What we have in place now is a 410 because we have removed products that are no longer available and the content itself no longer exists. In all my research, SEO Best Practices is to have a 301 in place. Should we replace our 410 with a 301 redirect or keep it?

Manual action penalty by Google
Hello, We have a big well-known brand - www.titanbet.com. This brand is well established and the site has been live for almost 4 years now ranking very well on some very strong KWs. we received a message from Google on Aug 29<sup>th</sup> saying “Google has detected a pattern of artificial or unnatural links pointing to your site” and that “Google has applied a manual spam action to titanbet.com/” The past 2 weeks since the penalty was received we saw some of our major KWs drop in rankings. BUT all brand related KWs were still ranked 1<sup>st</sup> Over the last weekend the penalty has worsen and we no longer rank on any of the brands KWs (we find the site in 5<sup>th</sup> page at best). Moreover, when searching for a sentence from the any of the page on the site in Google, we see other sites ahead of us in the SERPs. Based on the message we originally received from Google we have started cleaning some of the bad links to the site. We found a lot of links from bad sites, some of them are not indexed and probably penalized as well, some are from affiliate websites and some are from some automatic indexation websites based in China and Russia

we have started reaching out to some of these sites to try and have them remove our links. We are also worried about the duplication of our site. We have found many other sites (mostly affiliate websites) have copied and in some cases completely duplicated our content. Google for some reason has chosen to penalize us for this. Although we do not have control over these other sites. We have run copyscape to try and figure out which pages are the most problematic and we will try to re-write the content on these pages. But what if the other sites copy us again? Any suggestions on the above would be appreciated as we try to understand why Google has penalized us. thank you Titan Bet Team0 -

What is triggering Google account suspensions?
Over the past 24 hours many of our clients have had their Google accounts suspended. The explanation has been: "After reviewing your profile, we determined that it has been used to impersonate another individual or mislead other users. This violates the Google+ User Content and Conduct Policy." We are NOT impersonating our clients, we have their permission. We are not misleading anyone, simply setting up profiles for our clients on Google+. This has not affected all of our clients, but a significant number of them. We cannot find a common variable between the clients that have been suspended, and those who have not. Some have had other Google+ profiles in the past, in another account, some have not. Some have been previously verified via SMS, others by phone. Some have posts in their profile, others have only the profile info filled out. Again, we are not trying to game Google, we are simply setting up authorship for them, with their permission. I have not seen much in the SEO community about this today, and this is NOT related to fake reviews. We do not partake in that kind of activity. We have written a post on the topic, and no matter how this shakes out, I think our take is solid. Authorship is changing the game, content is changing the game, trust is changing the game… and Google is getting serious about it. We have also seen this happen to our clients, to our competitors' clients, and to other marketing firms' clients, outside of our vertical. Does anyone know more about the topic, especially in regards to the suspensions over the past 24 hours?

Google driving me Nuts - How do you combine 2 accounts?
I know this must be driving a lot of other people mad as I see loads of people who now have 2 registered accounts at google plus due to their seemingly terrible ability to merge or connect accounts. We have a work email address set up through google, then I have a personal Gmail address. In Google Plus now I have 2 profiles - even though I have not signed up to google plus with my work email, I cannot add this email to my Google + account set up on personal email as it just tells me to log into that account taking me to a page to set up a profile for that account. Has anyone managed to solve this problem - it is happening to everyone in the company, driving us all nuts and our IT guys have no idea how to solve it. Were trying to use G+ for the purposes of SEO & Marketing, but if they make it this cumbersome for people to use, then they are going to die a quick death - after a few weeks of use and noticing the huge number of dead accounts, only live accounts being SEO/Internet Marketing related, and huge number of duplicate accounts, I think their user figures are hugely suspect! Rant over - anyone know how to merge accounts?

Google Directory no longer available?
Now, we will forever not know what is in the Google Directory. I just clicked on the link..... and everything is dead and points you to DMOZ. What does this mean for us? Is DMOZ going to get more editor juice, so submissions are actually reviewed for once? The Yahoo! directory has also been glitching - new submissions have been disabled for over a week now. Any comments?
