I'm pretty sure I have an algorithmic penalty from Google and I'm not sure how to remove it..
I created a jobs website using a huge amount of scraped data, and I thought the pages had enough value and were unique enough not to cause any kind of penalty, but I was obviously wrong.
I'd like to salvage this website because it's my main domain for a legitimate business.
The problem I have at the moment though is there's about ten thousand indexed pages that Google deems low quality. However, I've submitted a de-indexing sitemap that lists all of these pages and returns a 410 HTTP header, but it's crawling them extremely slowly as you can see in the pictures.
How can I flush out all these indexed pages so I can try and remove this algorithmic penalty and focus on publishing non-programmatically generated content?
