How to Remove Remove Manual Penalty

Last week, I wrote a guide for Moz on Google Penalty Removal, it was very heavily focused towards manual penalties and covered each of the steps we go through when a new client comes to us requesting help.

One of the most important sections of having an unnatural links penalty revoked by Google is the reconsideration request. It’s important that these are well written, contain all the relevant information and help to show the Google employee exactly what work you’ve carried out since the penalty has been handed out.

At this point, I should point out that you only need to submit a reinclusion request for manual penalties. Algorithmic penalties will automatically be removed by Google when you’ve fixed the issues with your website and they’ve refreshed their algorithm. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to request a manual review of an algorithmic penalty.

If you have received a manual penalty, you’ll be sent a message by Google Webmaster Tools which states what the penalty is for. Google recently launched their ‘Manual Spam Actions’ tab in GWT, which has been a big help for webmasters.
