      After submit RR last week, we got the following from Google:

      "We've received a request from a site owner to reconsider how we index the following site: http://www.butterflycraze.com/

      We'll review the site. If we find that it's no longer in violation of our Webmaster Guidelines, we'll reconsider our indexing of the site. Please allow several weeks for the reconsideration request. We do review all requests, but unfortunately we can't reply individually to each request."

      We got discouraged that Goodle said that it'd reconsider if we are no longer in violation.  However, we have about 4500 unatural links created by SEO co, who has proceed with some, but, we aren't seen reduction of such links.  In fact, it went up.  I need advise as how to remove the following (they are the few site with bulk links):

      1. fantake.com: have their webmaster info, however, since last request, we still have 1200 links from it.

      2. blogspot.com - is there any way to remove links from such site?

      3. onlineunionmall.com: don't see any contact info on their site

      Some suggest us move on by building good links, but, to dilute the power of 4500 unnatural links, it would take forever.

        This is not a manual response, it's actually an automated response. I would continute to build content and links to the site. I hope you explained your effort in trying to get rid of the links etc. That should take care of it. However considering the massive penalty messages sent by them, you'd wonder how long would it take for them to do anything for each one of those. Has to be something somewhat automated, but it can't be.

          Tell Google it was the SEO co's fault. Did you give up the name of the company in the reconsideration?

            Yes, I did tell Google their name.  Now, SEO Co. give me run around about removing the link.

            But, from the letter above from Google, it stated "If we find that it's no longer in violation of our Webmaster Guidelines, we'll reconsider our indexing of the site.".  Sound like Google doesn't care who did it.

              I told Google that SEO company promised they will remove as best as they can.  I don't know how it sounds to Google.

              • Hi. One of our competitors is ranking ahead of us on Google. Our site has a much stronger authority and much more quality links than this competitor. Would anyone have any explanations for this? Thanks
