Penalty Recovery
Manual link-related Penalty removal
In a majority of situations, you will know that you have a Google manual penalty applied. Google spam team constantly checks high ranking websites and makes sure they fall under Google guidelines. It is believed that any users can report spam, paid links, or other sneaky tactics that trigger Google spam teams to review your website and issue a penalty if found enough evidence.
Unlike automatically applied algorithmic penalties such as Penguin, Google Manual penalty is 100% clear to detect and you definitely know when the penalty is revoked too.
What does Google Manual Penalty look like?
When you get a manual penalty – you receive a message about it in your mail and in Google Search Console messages tab. There have been situations of not getting messages but having a penalty applied. Therefore we recommend checking your manual actions tab in Google Webmaster Tools regularly.
A picture like this means that you are okay.
Unfortunately, anything different than that means you are in trouble:
Some webmasters don’t take it seriously until they see a significant drop in rankings and organic traffic. It often takes about 1-3 weeks after you get a message to see how much exactly you lose.
Hint: There is absolutely no sense in waiting to see what you lose after you get a Google manual penalty. Truth is: you have been busted and the faster you take action, the less painful the consequences will be.
What to do when you are penalized?
We have never heard about any alternative method of revoking manual penalty, rather than doing what Google expects you to do. Even if you stop or turn around your link building strategy from creating sneaky links to only natural links – the penalty is there. There’s only one way out: you need to find out what your low quality (toxic) links are and do whatever is possible to remove them, disavow the rest and request to review your website again and revoke the penalty.
There are a lot of outstanding examples and guidelines that you can follow to successfully lift it:
- Google Unnatural Links Manual Penalty: A Recovery Guide
- Ultimate Guide to Google Penalty Removal
- The Definitive Guide to Recovering From a Manual Search Penalty
However, if you lack experience and knowledge, it can be too time-consuming to study all these guides and send those numerous emails to Google. Or even if you are an experienced guy, please be assured of the failure always waiting for you round the corner. So, instead of wasting your time we recommend delegating this job to specialists providing Google penalty recovery services.

The Link Cleaning
Modern SEO demands regular backlink audits and clean-ups. Our experience shows that toxic links do continue to appear, and there are different reasons for it:

At Visible Webs we do backlink clean-ups every day and we are ready to help ASAP.
Penguin Penalty Removal Service
First deployed on April 24, 2012, Google Penguin is an algorithmic (automatic) penalty aiming at websites violating Google Webmaster Guidelines by manipulating backlinks mainly. Since that time, there have been many updates, during which a number of websites were penalized or got out of Penalty.
The typical grounds for Google Penguin Penalty are:
- Unnatural links
- Keyword staffing
How to detect Google Penguin penalty
Unlike Google manual penalty, Penguin is not that obvious to detect. According to Google web-spam team officials, there is no definite way to detect what algorithmic penalty was applied to your website. However, practice shows that there are obvious conditions to be penalized by it, such as:
- Backlinks from low quality backlinks, that have been built with manipulative intentions
- Backlink profile has many links with anchor text commercial keywords
- Website has suddenly dropped down the search engine rankings
- No message about getting manual penalty at Google Webmaster Tool
- Rankings and organic traffic drop has happened on the day when Google updated Penguin
- While there was a rapid drop in Google, rankings in other search engines such as Bing stayed unchanged

We make your rankings jump up and back to where they have been before you were hit.
