Welcome to the Q&A Forum

In the Google guidelines they state that making a link a nofollow link is good enough from their point of view to not consider the link as trying to manipulating google ranking.

Is it true? Or do you need to actually remove the link?

I am referring to "live" Serps.

It would be nice, to have in once place all the automatic google filtering rules, the resulted rank drop and how to fix it.
So you can see a drop of 10-20 spots in your ranking and know you were hit by a filter and how to fix it.

Maybe Rand will pick up this idea for a post.

Can you point me to the exact location of relevant information to my case ?!

I read in the blog that it's a good practice not to add new links while you are planning on sending Google a re-consideration request.

A few weeks ago I got an emai from Google that my site is suspected to violating Google guidelines-->suspected links manipulationg Google Page rank.

My site dropped to the second page.

I have contacted some of the top webmasters who link to me and they have removed the links or added a nofollow.

When I asked for re-consideation I got an answear that there are still suspected links.

What do I do now? I can't remove all of my links?!

BTW this happened before the offical Pinguin Update.

My site has dropped from the first page top spots to the bottom second page, about 2 month ago. From time to time it reappears in the first page, is this some kind of google filter? How do I solve this issue?
