Penguin link removal what would you do?

[wcuk]

Hi

Over the last 4 months I have been trying to remove as many poor quality links as possible in the hope this will help us recover.

I have come across some site's that the page our back-link is on has been de-indexed, goggle shows this when I look at the cached page...

404. <ins>That’s an error.</ins>

The requested URL /search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGNI_enGB482GB482&q=cache:http%3A%2F%2Fforom.eovirtual.com%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ff%3D4%26t%3D84 was not found on this server. <ins>That’s all we know.</ins>

If goggle is showing this message do I have to still try to remove the link, or is it a case goggle has already dismissed the link?

If coming from a 404 page, the link does not matter. I am not sure that means that Google did it, so I would show the 404 in any evidence you send to Google re resolving the issues.

For getting reconsideration, you need to show you did all in your power to remove the BS links, etc. Keep a log. Send it all.

Good luck,
