Unnatural Links Warning, but nowhere to submit a reconsideration request.

[Zachary_Russell]

More than a year ago (August 2013) I got an "Unnatural Links Warning," I ignored it because I thought it was erroneously sent and that it was odd that there was no place for me to submit a reconsideration request in the Manual Actions section of Webmaster Tools. This happened for several of my domains. I am now noticing a lost in ranking (but not a loss in "ability" to rank). It led me to post this question in the Webmaster Help Forum, I really didn't get an answer though.

Here is a link to the Google Export of my links from zachrussell.net and protechig.com.

Any idea of what I can do related to this? Even If I did disavow/remove any questionable links, there is no place for me to submit a reconsideration request.

No worry  i am happy to help you ,

Please visit this url https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/reconsideration?pli=1 , once you click you will come to see ( Check your site for manual actions)

select your website and click on the Check manual actions once you clicked  after if you are getting  message like this No manual webspam actions found. it mean your website is not longer under manual action  .

another way you can disavow your bad linking with using the url https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/disavow-links-main

hope the answer will help you .

Hello Zach,

Based on what you are saying, this is an algorithmic warning and is not based on manual action. Since we are still talking algorithms, all you have to do is clean up your link profile - disavow all low-quality links and perhaps build a few higher-level links and over time the ranks should return to their former state. I know this is pretty much the same answer you received to your question on the Webmaster Help Forum, but I think that gentleman has a point. I disagree that you should "ignore" the emails, but a lack of manual oversight probably means that it is a technical issue that can be addressed rather than one you willingly perpetrated.

In regards to your link profile, it's possible that the form the links took - for example, blog comments, posts etc. - contributed to the decline in rankings, but would not affect your "rankability". I don't think a Reconsideration Request is necessary as long as you ensure that your profile is clean of all "waste material". Perhaps push a link-building program for better links and see where that puts you.

Also, completely unrelated to link-building, but is there a chance that the content might be responsible? Are you sure there is no duplicate content on your URL's? It might be that the current loss in rankings is Panda-related and not Penguin at all - that warning may be over and done.
