Has Anyone Heard from Google?
-
After submit RR last week, we got the following from Google:
"We've received a request from a site owner to reconsider how we index the following site: http://www.butterflycraze.com/
We'll review the site. If we find that it's no longer in violation of our Webmaster Guidelines, we'll reconsider our indexing of the site. Please allow several weeks for the reconsideration request. We do review all requests, but unfortunately we can't reply individually to each request."
We got discouraged that Goodle said that it'd reconsider if we are no longer in violation. However, we have about 4500 unatural links created by SEO co, who has proceed with some, but, we aren't seen reduction of such links. In fact, it went up. I need advise as how to remove the following (they are the few site with bulk links):
-
fantake.com: have their webmaster info, however, since last request, we still have 1200 links from it.
-
blogspot.com - is there any way to remove links from such site?
-
onlineunionmall.com: don't see any contact info on their site
Some suggest us move on by building good links, but, to dilute the power of 4500 unnatural links, it would take forever.

I told Google that SEO company promised they will remove as best as they can. I don't know how it sounds to Google.

Yes, I did tell Google their name. Now, SEO Co. give me run around about removing the link.
But, from the letter above from Google, it stated "If we find that it's no longer in violation of our Webmaster Guidelines, we'll reconsider our indexing of the site.". Sound like Google doesn't care who did it.

Tell Google it was the SEO co's fault. Did you give up the name of the company in the reconsideration?

This is not a manual response, it's actually an automated response. I would continute to build content and links to the site. I hope you explained your effort in trying to get rid of the links etc. That should take care of it. However considering the massive penalty messages sent by them, you'd wonder how long would it take for them to do anything for each one of those. Has to be something somewhat automated, but it can't be.

Has anyone heard or worked with penwarriors.co
I had someone from penwarriors.co approach me about putting some content on my site. The content is good. It's unique. It's very relevant and any links out are reasonable. But when I started to look into it, they seem to be churning out a hell of a lot of content for the companies they're doing outreach for and the companies themselves don't seem to be very active on social. I can't find the person they are attributing a guest blog to and I can't find the person that I've been communicating with on linkedin etc. Something doesn't feel right. Any ideas? Simon

To know effect on our Website rank in Google Search results
Ours is Property Advertising Company. And we have agents and consultants working from other areas in providing property for advertising in our website. So we collect all the data (5000 data nearly) and upload in one stretch directly to our database. I would like to know whether this process will affect our ranking in google search results because when we upload 5000 data, the links in our website also increases.

Does the url text count as anchor text in google's algo?
I always try to strive for getting good anchortext in links that people link to my sites with, but sometimes they are not very web savvy, or just plain not willing to format the link the way i want it and we end up with links that use the URL as the anchortext. My question is, if i format a url such that it has keywords in it, and when someone makes a link like this: http://www.storwell.com/self-storage-toronto-bursary-application-form.php does google consider the words: storwell, self, storage, toronto, bursary, application & form as the anchor text?
