Recieved Unnatural inbound links Google penalty!

Hello,
I have received Unnatural inbound links warning in Google webmaster tools and my site is having the following type of links:
1. One big niche specific site-wide link which has caused my links to get more than 1 million inbound links in last few 1-2 months only. I have already asked that niche site to remove the site wide link of me so that i can have narrow down those additional 1 million links to my site...
2. SAPE links - I have already removed all SAPE links pointing towards my site.
3. Other are diversified sources contextual and regular links which i think is everybody build such as web 2.0, bookmarks, wiki, article directories etc links..

At this stage i am not interested to send Google a reconsideration request since i am already planned to create new website and start doing SEO instead of wasting time with webmaster tools > Reconsideration fight as many says we need to clean up site and we do link building that having all links removed is just like wasting time...

I have read whole forum of BHW and found a few people says creating good link building plan going on is good idea and many of them recovered their sites too with this plan. Do you think i shall keep continue adding new links with good anchor text diversity as well as addition of timely new content and in meantime on side i build and rank new sites so i create new business websites in ranks in meantime too.

I will highly appreciate suggestions of honourable other members at BHW. Please share your view or experience on such issue of Un-natural links... Will wait for suggestions...

Do you think building new links can help or have you recovered any site with such idea?

Yep. Your plan is fine. You will receive your site with this technique.If you have any problem let me know

Site is now dead in my opinion.

It really all depends on whether or not the website is worth it to you. I've seen people recover after 3-6 months with the right amount of work, then I've seen people fail equally for even longer.

nothing screams like a link maker more then a website that starts removing links after getting that message.

if you have a time can give try to recover, but it would be faster and more easy to rank new

Check wath happen with ahrefs .

I think the site wide links and the SAPE links where probably what caused the damage.

The other links you mention should of been fine as long as you did it right. Did you diversify the anchor link?

Start with removing the SAPE links and the site wide from the site you mention, then put in for a reconsideration request.

I have 100 people visit my site daily as we have good brand name and it's my brand site so it really worth for me...time is ok for me even if it takes time to recover... I just wanted to know that if my plan is good or not?

It's hard to believe a "good brand" only gets 100 visitors daily unless it is a super micro niche. It's probably best to dump the domain.

Some people have reported copying the content from the penalized domain to a new domain with varying degrees of success. Some have 301'ed their old penalized domain to competitors sites too and reported the penalty transferred over time, so don't redirect it to a new domain if you get one.

Hello, Instead of reconsideration request my idea of building diversified link is this good idea? has anyone have any success with such idea and any suggestions on the same ?

I've heard of a few sites recovering from this. Though I think it took around 7 months for them to recover.

Your site is 99% likely dead. And given you only get 100 visitors i would start building a new site and new brand today rather than waiting and hoping you recover in 6 months time which is 6 months wasted hoping you are the 1% who will get lucky and recover. Its easier to build and rank a new site than trying to recover a penalized site.

even if you removed sape links they wouldnt care and take their sweet time if ever they do anything -- just move on bro

I've been in the same situation and I found out creating the same website with same content on a fresh domain was cheaper and better seo wise.

You could try recovering it but from my perspective, it's much easier to rank a new website.

Site dead, move on.

If you remove the links, Google knows you have plenty of control (In short because you placed them) over the links. Website is tainted already.

Just move on, anyone telling you other wise is wasting your time.

If you get a message like this in the future leave the links, don't reply to message ignore it and build a new website.

If old site comes back you now have two websites and some redundancy in your system. If it doesn't you have a new website to sell your gear with.

Nothing screams like a person who do not care about his website if he dont start removing links. A legit person can also remove links by contacting blog owners etc. Its not an impossible thing to do. Ofc its an wise idea to remove links which hurts your website.

I got this a few months back as well. I would buy a new domain and 301 your penalized domain.
