I just got one of these smackdowns for a sitwide link that I forgot to make no follow. I think Google is being a little harsh. Can you check out my consumer reviews website and see if there is anything else wrong that Google wouldn't like? screamingreviews.com I would appreciate any help as the folks at Google blog seem to be really condescending and mean.

It's been a bit of a challenge. Not sure what type of penalty is has if any. Thanks for the information, I'm still not entirely sure how to bring my site up but it's a good start for me.

I guess many of us will learn something from you! I am not sure exactly what black hat SEO is all about, but I believe any non-natural way to ask for link back is bad move. Great post! Love it!

But I'm no expert, so it could well be something else.

Google just reduced my dental insurance site -- http://www.californiadentalinsurance.com from #2 to #42 basically putting me out of the individual dental business. I have a seasoned site since 2000 and paid the domain thru 2018. I have not made any changes and the web site sells exactly what it says. Anybody with some helpful tips?

I have also had problems with Google, my rank dropped from 3 to 0 because of badneighbourhoods. I had to remove all the paid links that caused it. Thank you for sharing you experience.

I do wish thought that google, yahoo, bing etc would provide profile tools we could use to scan our sites. When a hit occurs in our ranking, it really is stabbing in the dark sometimes as to why it has happened. This is a great article.

Patience is a hard-practiced virtue in these cases. Hi Andrew, it’s possible your drop could be a temporary thing that corrects itself the next time Google crawls your site.

I made some modifications to the homepage and I'm trying to decide if the changes I made to the website were the problem or is it the link neighborhood my website is in. I changed the homepage back to the way it was before but do you think I should try to contact someone from Google regarding it or wait to see if there is a change? Thanks.
