      If you have had a successful reconsideration request, would you be comfortable sharing the letter you sent? We are trying to draft ours and could use some guidance.

        Hi, you can view this site which is owned by company recommended by Moz

        Essentially this will tell you everything. But what it needs to contain his all the work you've done screenshots of what you've done you've tried to contact, quite a bit of information it's all contained in this tool's info

        http://www.removeem.com/

        1. Penalty Details
        • Are you the owner of the site, or are you working as an agent of this site?

        • Have you received an unnatural links notice from Google via Google Webmaster Tools? (or an email could have been sent from WMT-NOREPLY@Google.com)

        • If so, have you tried disavowing links?

        • Have you sent in a Reconsideration Request? Please be prepared to provide copies and the date(s) of any prior requests.

        • Have you noticed a significant rankings/traffic drop? When did this drop happen? Can you provide a list of the kywords you've noticed have lost rankings/traffic?

        1. SEO History
        • Have you worked with any SEO agencies in the past?

        • If so, did these companies build links for you? Are they available to remove any links they built?

        • Can you provide us with any lists/reports of links built by prior SEO companies

        • What types of linkbuilding do you do for your website? (press releases, infographics, directories, comments, social media, link purchasing, guest blog posts, advertorials, etc.)

        • When was the last time you had links developed for your website?

        1. List of Other Domains
        • Provide a list of all domains you own or have administrative control over.
        • Provide a list of all domains that partner with your site, such as affiliates, vendors, clients, good traffic referrers, etc.
        • Provide a list of all domains that you are otherwise affiliated, such as BBB, industry associations, certification sites, etc.
        1. Google Webmaster Tools Access
        • your Google Webmaster Tools account?
        • If not, provide a list of your latest links AND top anchor lists.
        1. Email Access
        • To be most effective at removing links on your behalf, it is best if we have access to a domain-level email address for our link removal team to use during the link removal process.
        • Examples: Admin@YourDomain.com or LinkRemoval@YourDomain.com are preferred
        • Removals can be performed without the email access; however, our research has shown up to a 30% higher success rate using domain specific emails as it eliminates any doubt that these are legitimate link removal requests and not a competitor performing a form of negative SEO
