Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you all for your replies.

There is no manual penalty in play - checked with request to Google via Webmaster Tools.

The company has claimed its Local+ page.

My thoughts are that it is Penguin. The majority of links back to the website are retailers that sell the products of my client, so these links are out of my control unfortunately.

All the links i have setup to my clients website are setup like Scott suggests.

Bit stuck really : /

Is there anything else you guys would suggest?

Thanks,

Hi all,

Once of my clients has a keyword as part of their company name, and it seems like the website is being given a penalty in the keyword SERP because of the amount of websites linking back using the company name?

Is there anything i can do to prevent/balance this out?

Thanks,

Anthony

Hi all,

3 of my websites have received a massive hit from Penguin/Panda due to exact phrase links.

I have had all the links changed so that they are completely different, and submitted a reconsideration request to Google.

Would anyone be able to tell me roughly how long it takes to get a response from a Google reconsideration request?

Thanks,

Anthony
