My main site got hit, the pages aren't deindexed because they still appear when I search with the "site:domainname" thing. How can I check what happened if I do not have google analytics enabled there? It's a blackhat site.
You need to disavow the spammy links first. This is why you need GWT to help you generate the report, either way use ahrefs. Once you disavow them, you need to submit your site for a manual review to lift the penalty. Could take weeks or even months depending on your situation. Sometimes you have to resubmit for several times as well.
Thanks to all of you. I read other threads and basically they advice to start again from 0, new domain, new everything. I have checked also another site of mine and it got hit too, from a different hosting and all.
What will I need to do to start from 0 without google knowing that I'm the same person? I mean, how do I keep it without footprints that could relate me to the penalized sites?
Thanks again for the answers.
why do you advice to sign in to webmaster tools and disacow OP stated it's a blackhatsite, and if anybody is stupid enough to put webmastertools and/or GA on their blackhat site they deserve to get deindexed
Google Analytics is good to see the growth of the site.
But now a days, Google disappear the Page Ranks of all sites. I don't know why but i think it'll be shown after a few days, or weeks.
You can use Google Webmaster tool which helps to disavow your spammy links.And submit your site for review to vanish your penalty.It may takes some weeks to clear which depends on your review report.
you will check everything in google analytics and try to check at least one or two times per week. you can avoid this problem before you getting hit by google.
if you have GWT (Google Webmaster Tool) for this site ,you can get the growth of the site and also they will sent the notification if the site getting manual penalty or partial penalty.
