Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Gareth,

We had over 8000 links to check,  we concentrated on the sites that had the most links.  Once we checked all of the website we found that most of them where all linked to the same directory so it only took 1 email to get rid of about 3000 links removed. The other's were harder to find, it just takes a lot of time.

Hi Gareth,

We recently had the same problem.  I would suggest you go into Google Web-master and make a list of the top offending sites that have links to your website. Then you need to go through each one and contact them and ask them to remove the links.  Some of the companies came back to say that they had removed the links and others said that there would be a small charge.  Good luck

Hi,

I'm writing about the sudden drop in our keyword rankings from our site www.activitybreaks.com.  Our keywords that have significantly seen a drop have been

activity holidays was 8th now 16th

Adventure holidays was 15th now 71st

We have been listed on the first page for a number of keywords but these has suddenly dropped in the last couple of days.

We did receive a notice on the 19th May from Google stating that they detected unnatural links.  So we spent a couple of weeks getting the links removed and have re-submitted the site on 11th June.  When I go into Google webmaster there is no reply from Google as yet and the links are still showing even though we know they have been removed.

We also noticed in the last couple of days that we had a duplicate home page but this has now since been removed.

Should we re-submit our site to Google for reconsideration or wait to they get back to us. Is there anything else we can be doing to fix this situation.

Let me know if you have any ideas! Anything is appreciated, thanks.

Naomi
