      Hi Webmasters,

      I got an email from google team. The email is included below.

      **Google Webmaster Tools: Quality Issues on http://abcdblogger.com/**August 8, 2012

      Dear site owner or webmaster of http://abcdblogger.com/,

      We've detected that some of your site's pages may be using techniques that are outside Google's Webmaster Guidelines. If you have any questions about how to resolve this issue, please see ourWebmaster Help Forum for support.

      Sincerely,

      Google Search Quality Team

      My blog is completely blocked on Google Search engine. I removed all existing posts and reinstalled a fresh version of wordpress and wrote a good article. I redirected all broken links my homepage with a 301. After making those changes I submitted a reconsideration request to Google, But they declined it.

      I doubt that the reason for blocking could be due to the backlinks pointing to my domain. I think Google's Disavow Tool help me to remove low quality backlinks, But how can I sort low quality backlinks using Opensite Explorer?

      If possible can you create a text file with all possible low quality links, So that I could submit it using Google Disavow Tool.

      Thanks.

        Hello Hafiskani

        Your blog only has a single post - and it isn't really very useful.

        There is no terms of use and no privacy policy.

        I haven't looked at your external link profile, but from what you said,you've redirected all of the bad incoming links to your home page. That is probably a bad thing. You would be better off either removing all the 301s and losing all of the links or reviewing the external links and only redirecting for good sites pointing to the old pages.

        If your previous pages were as thin as this new one, my guess is that all of your old links were not from good quality or related sites, so readirecting them to the home page is a great way to tell google you love those bad links, and you're not prepared to give them up.

        I just searched for your domain and I see you had previously been busy going around to blogs and dns test and stats sites, getting listings and links. Some of those blogs are completely unrelated to your old posts. I didn't see any blogs that were good quality, that willingly linked to your posts because they were useful.

        I don't want to say that it is a lost cause, but either you need to continue on with this blog or dump it and start again.

        In either case, you need to read the google guidelines at the links they provided to you. Then you may work out the deficiencies you currently have. Unfortunately, the google guidelines are quite vague and not exactly what I would call useful or readable, which is what they keep telling us we have to do. So that means you may not work out what is wrong.

        This may seem like a radical idea, but if I were you, at the stage you are now, with am empty blog and such thin content, I would go back to school, and learn all the things you need to do to build a really useful blog, and then go and put what you've learned into practice. Or I would forget blogging and do something else.

        There is inexpensive training around, or if you have no money at all, you could go to read problogger or copyblogger - or both.

        I also recommend you don't ask for reconsideration until you have at least 10 useful posts. If you are a good writer and you learn the lessons you need, you should be able to do that in a week. If you are not a good writer, then you shouldn't be doing this anyway. Find something else to do. In any case, I recommend you get as far away from the "How To Earn Money Online" niche as you can. You are really the blind leading the blind - you should leave it to the people who really know what they are doing.

        Look around and find a real business that you can do, that you don't need to keep writing new content for. Resell domains, or go to flippa and buy an existing website business that is already running, because (and I really don't mean to be mean to you)  I believe you really don't know anything about blogging, so to try to teach other people how to do it is really a bad idea - for you and for anyone who decided to follow you.

        Don't feel too bad about this, because when I first started (a long time ago), I thought I wanted to help other people do stuff like this,because I had a technical background and I could teach, but that niche is just a bad place to be and after I realized that, I got away from it. If you had "a brand" I wouldn't have said this, but abcdblogger isn't a brand.

        Listen to what other people here tell you - they may have a solution for you. I am just one voice, and that is my advice to you.

        Best Wishes with whatever you decide to do.
