Unnatural links from your site
-
Hi,
24 February got this penalty message in Google webmaster tool.
Google detected a pattern of unnatural, artificial, deceptive, or manipulative outbound links on pages on this site. This may be the result of selling links that pass PageRank or participating in link schemes.
Already removed all the link on the blog and sent reconsideration request to Google spam team. But request is rejected. Please help me on this or share link with me on same case.
Thanks,

You're very welcome.
If I were you I'd apply for reconsideration again with something like this:
"Dear Webspam Team,
Thank you for taking the time to reconsider my site. I do admit that at one time I offered guest posts from my blog. However, I have now removed all links from those posts. I have no intention of ever offering guest posts again. I have removed the "write for us" section of my site and will now concentrate solely on writing my own posts for the site.
I enjoy writing these articles and participating in the Adsense program.
Thank you once again,
[your name]"

Thank you so much Marie Haynes, you such a humble and kind I am really impress from you. As per your direction I have removed "write for us" page from the site. More kindly give me any suggestion / sample how I can convince the Google about reality of my site and as for as purpose of my site is to earn money through Google Adsense Program Please guide me how i can get back my page rank. Your guidance is really appreciating and Gold mine for me.At last I again very thankful for such kind of help and guidance.

Thanks for the kind words.
If you are certain that you have removed all of your guest posting links, then what you need to do is to convince Google that this site has a real purpose other than just to host guest posts. This is going to sound a little harsh, but when I look at the site it kind of looks like it is an article directory.
You still have a "write for us" page that says you accept guest posts. I'd remove that.
Can I ask what the main purpose is for your site? Do you make money through Adsense? Or was your primary revenue source from selling links? Do you sell a product from the site? If you get your penalty removed, what are your hopes for this site?
I think that in order to get the penalty lifted you need to convince Google that this site has a purpose other than to host guest posts.

Thank you very much Marie to notice my question. I'm your big fan on internet and reading your all the articles. Mostly I recovered websites from other type of Google penalties because just reading your articles on all platforms. But I'm just fail in this case.
My blog is metalaqua dot com. I did hard work on this to increase domain authority but lost page rank and home page is not index. Already removed lots of backlinks and some website added in Google disavow tool.
Yes, I'm accepting guest posts on my blog some time. because I don't have time for write articles. But last 4 months I'm not accepting more guest posts. Already I've removed all the outbound links and apply 3 times for reconsideration but fail.
Now I don't know what can I do next step that's the way I put this question on Moz. I hope you can teach me how to recover "Unnatural links from your site" penalty from Google.
Again thanks and waiting for your response.

If you're able to share your url we can have a look and probably see what the problem is.
Do you accept guest posts? Google cracked down on guest posting as a means for getting (and giving) links recently. Most of the sites that I have seen with outbound unnatural links penalties got them because they published guest posts. If this is the case, nofollow your links going from guest posts and apply for reconsideration and you should get the warning lifted.

What was the message back to you from the team? Typically these requests tend to mean that you need to add no-follow on out going links was the case with Barry Schwartz over at http://www.seroundtable.com/ as he had the same issue.

Can you regain any SERPs / link juice of links that have 404'd?
We have a client whose 301 redirects disappeared and have been gone for about 6 months now. We are going to be putting the 301 redirects back in place. Will we be able to regain any of the previous SERPs or link juice from old links or is all lost? Thanks in advance!

Has Google Made Unnatural Link Building Easier?
I see lots of competitors and crappy sites ranking well for highly competitive keywords in the web hosting niche. After analysing their backlinks, I noticed that most of them had only 1 or 2 backlinks to the page they wanted to rank. The anchor text is usually a slight variation of the targeted keyword. Now suppose you are able to rank well for a handful of highly lucrative keywords using very few spammy links. That would mean that even if you got a Penguin penalty, cleaning up your link profile would take an hour at most. I really have no intentions of using this strategy but it's frustrating to see spammy competitors outranking you with crappy sites and a handful of backlinks. Your thoughts?

Site links show spam
Hi folks, I'm working on a website that runs on WordPress and was not updated by the owner, this has resulted in a malware injection and now when you search the companies name in Google, the site links appear with words like Viagra, et al. I've seen this a number of times, so I went through the code and have removed all the malware. I presume I now have to wait for Google to recrawl the website and update the site links? Is there anything else I should be doing to speed up the process? Thank you 🙂

OSE Link Differential
I have the chrome toolbar installed. In the SERP a site I was looking at had 686 links from 12 domains linking to the root domain. When I checked this site in OSE with filters set to all pages in root domain it shows 65 links from 12 domains. Can anyone explain the difference?
