In the end, it's up to you. You can either spend the time and money to attempt to remove and disavow your links, or you can spend the time and money to build and rank everything again. Which is worth more to you?

 

[jsonsonj]

The unnatural links Google has detected are simply being ignored and may affect your rankings slightly. Google refers to this as ‘targeted action' against individual links instead of a site as a whole. If your rankings drop a great deal, this means you were relying on too many of the artificial links to rank in Google, but still lucky that Google didn't consider your for a site-wide ban or a more severe keyword over-optimisation penalty.

If you've received this email do not panic, you're not going to be banned out of Google. What you should do is look at your link profile and prepare for clean-up action. Once you're confident that your link profile is free of unnatural links to the best of your knowledge and ability to remove, submit a reconsideration request and start the dialogue with Google's search quality team

It takes time to remove the manual penalty. But surely we can recover from this situation. If your site is important than you can go for link removal or start with new domain. You can check out my service: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...inks-safely-protect-your-rankings-30-off.html

Yes, my site is damn important and I worked around 7 months on it, 90% my work, and 2 months ago a schmuck from the competition spams the shit out of one niches and google penalizes me for what? That's not correct, lol. My site is currently making $2,500 - 3,000 per month. Sorry guys but I won't "ditch" my site for an idiot who spammed one of my niches. (I have over 30 niches that I've been working on). I can't really do that

Time to clean up the links in order to remove the penalty, no other way around it.

Nobody responded to my primary question yet: My site has 30 niches on it, only 1 niche has been spammed and that's where the problem comes from.

Only that spammed niche will get its rankings affected or the whole 30 niches on my site? (btw the rest of the niches are clean, only one is bad).

Whole 30 niches.

Tell us something: was your provider here using Gmail?

 

[leobar]

i would go for reconsideration, remove your backlinks and go for reconsideration. you have nothing to lose at this point.
look at the good side, you have no site-wide penalty.

best wishes.

No. He was not. And I already said I'm pretty positive that this problem comes from that niche that has been SPAMMED. All my niches has around 20-30 backlinks on them, that spammed niche has 4000. Makes sense now?

How the hell can I remove my backlinks if they are over 3500-4000 spam?

I think each situation is going to be different depending on how your site was penalized, but here's my experience:


I have a site that has 100+ articles on it and received a partial manual penalty recently.


The pages I received the penalty on fell in the SERPS and won't budge. There were only 2 so I did not worry about them and consider them dead.


However, the rest of the site still ranks normally and traffic has improved with each update. I still publish new articles on there and don't even worry about that penalty.


When rankings tank for the entire site, I'll move the content to a new domain and point my links at it.


Consider watching your 30 niches and see if the rankings change with them before doing anything drastic.


You may find that only a couple pages -- like mine -- were targeted and other rankings don't change or change little. For me, it's hardly worth the effort to mess with until the whole thing tanks.

I hate that "herp derp" shit

Thats like 4 years ago and annoying as hell, people in Warrior forum love that stuff tho

No one cares what you hate.

 

[R0meo]

well, its fucked domain in google eyes. I would spam the shit out of it,- would get some bing/yahoo traffic eventually. They still live in 2005 and dig spammy links.

 

[ImBored]

Start again with a new domain, that domain is done.

 

[upstarter]

Keep your domain and then redirect the spammed niche back to your competitor. Once they remove those 2500 backlinks that they pointed to your niche, that you redirected to them, remove the redirect.

I've got a better question.

Was your provider using google?

Serious note, if you don't care for the website just leave it.
If you do care about it spend some time cleaning up the links and submit a reconsideration request.
