Google Manual Action Disappear

[RuchiPardal]

Hi Guys,

I have a website that received unnatural link message. We had started link removal process, disavowed not approachable links and file reconsideration four times but all the times Google sent some samples of unnatural links and rejected our reconsideration.

Last week we again disavowed non approachable links and planned to file reconsideration after a week but today when i tried to file reconsideration, Manual action message was disappeared. We haven't received any message from Google. The same case was happened with one more of our site earlier.

Manual action disappeared means it has been revoked or something else??

I've seen this happen several times.  What probably has happened is that your penalty has expired.  All manual penalties do expire.  For some it can take months and for others it can take years.  When it expires you get no notification that anything has happened other than the manual spam actions viewer shows no webspam actions.

You still want to make sure that you have done as thorough a job as possible.  If you happen to get another manual review and you still have unnatural links then you'll get penalized again and often the second penalty is worse than the first.  Also, if you had not done enough cleanup to pass previously then it means that there are still unnatural links that could affect you with the Penguin algorithm.

Now, one other possibility.  I have seen a couple of instances where there is some incongruity between the manual spam actions viewer and the messaging system and one changes a day or two before the other.  It's more common to have it happen the other way where you get the message that your penalty has been revoked and then it takes a few days for the viewer to show it rather than having the viewer show no penalty and the message appears afterwards.  But, I don't think this is the case for you guys as it sounds like you were not waiting for a response from Google.

I have filled many recons once for a domain without losing the button. If your manual penalty check shows no manual actions, I wouldnt be worried. I havent heard of them doing that, and I have dealt with a lot of penalties.

Like I said - keep checking. If they WERE annoyed with your multiple submissions, give it 2 weeks - the normal timeframe that they ask you to wait before resubmitting a reinclusion request.

Thanks for the response Rishi. I tried to find out the reason in different forums but not get any success.

I am afraid if Google has removed the Reconsideration button because we have filed request many times??

I have seen this ONCE only. and at that time their penalty was revoked without a message. Keep an eye on the traffic and see if it increases, and periodically check the manual actions checker.
