I worked with websites that had manual penalties but ranked on the first page anyway. This is the message they had on the dashboard “… Therefore, when determining your site’s ranking, we will demote links to your site as a factor in our calculations. This manual spam action has been applied to your domain.” I didn’t submit reconsolidation request and websites still rank on the first page after 6 months!

Hey, Paula Allen

Thank you for detailed information on Google web spam. Very informative post. You are right, ethical SEO practice is the best way. Thin content, clocking, link building in unnatural way really harmful for any business. I am really happy to read this post.

Very nice post. Based on my experience reporting unatural link building, link buying etc of a competitor to Google rarely works. I tried it for one of my clients a while ago, but google never took action…

In reply to Oasis.

Oasis: It sounds as though Google needs to recrawl your pages to reinstate them in the index. If other sites link to yours, then Google will find your site in due course. However, you can submit your site manually and possibly speed up the process. See our instructions here: http://www.bruceclay.com/seo/submit-website.htm
