Have You Received A Google Webmaster Notice?

Google sent many webmaster notification messages about unnatural links during the last few weeks. Below is what you need to do to make sure that your website doesn’t get penalized if you have received such a message.

Here is Google unnatural link message:

“Dear site owner or webmaster of example.com.

We’re detected that some of your site’s pages may be using techniques that are outside Google’s webmaster Guidelines.

Specifically, look for possibly artificial or unnatural links pointing to your site that could be intended to manipulate PageRank. Examples of unnatural linking could include buying links to pass PageRank or participating in link schemes.

We encourage you to make changes to your site so that it meets our quality guidelines. Once you’ve made these changes, please submit your site for reconsideration in Google’s search results.

If you find unnatural links to your site that you are unable to control or remove, please provide the details in your reconsideration request.

If you have any question about how to resolve this issue, please see our Webmaster Help forum for support.

Sincerely,

Google Search Quality Team”

What will happen when you get such a message?

Webmasters who received such a message observed that many sites were penalized 3-4 weeks after the message. And the penalty is for the keywords that are included in the unnatural links.

In other words, the whole website might be penalized if most of the links that point to the website are unnatural links.

What are unnatural links?

Below are backlink types that Google find unnatural:

1)       Public backlink networks: Google doesn’t like fully automated or paid backlink networks. It is very likely that Google has already penalized the network or that the network is a target for the near future if you participate in a backlink network that can be joined by anyone (even for a fee).

If you can find the backlink network, Google’s engineers can find it too.

2)       Private backlink networks: some SEO agencies have private backlink networks. Google probably has the technology to detect these networks without creating accounts.

3)       Over-optimized anchor text: if the links to your website all use exactly the same anchor text, it is likely that Google might reconsider the rankings of the linked pages.

4)       Paid sidebar links: Google might find them unnatural, if your webmaster has too many backlinks from the sidebars of other websites.

5)       Fake forum and social media links: some tools create fake forum and social media site accounts to get backlinks to your website. Chances that Google can detect that type of link.

If you used one of the above methods to get backlinks to your website, just try to get rid of these links as quickly as possible. Want to get high rankings for your site? You’d better follow the formula below:

Google content + good backlinks + no spam = high rankings

Obviously, Google has become more aggressive regarding spammy backlinks. In the past, a website might get high rankings for several months until Google detected the site. While it seems that it takes a maximum of 3 months until Google detects the spammers now.

For those site owners who want to get high ranking don’t know how to make it, a professional Search Engine Optimization company might be your nice choice. If so, adSage will be one of the top ones, which has the power to help you get good high quality backlinks for Google with simple ways.
