      I have read the FAQs and checked for similar issues: YES
      My site's URL (web address) is:http://www.recoveryconnection.org/
      Description (including timeline of any changes made):n mid-June, we were penalized. We received a message in WMT that our site was penalized for Doorway Pages, thin content, and pages trying to rank for just 1 KW.

      1. We removed all doorway-style pages (according to guidelines) and consolidated content to target no less than 3 KWs per page, and not over-optimized.
      2. Submitted first reconsideration request.
      3. Denied 8 days later via MSG in WMT that stated simply that the site still did not meet Google's Guidelines.
      4. Printed fresh copies of Google's guidelines, and rewrote almost every page of the site. We took down the blog in case of old thin content or possible doorway pages. We reduced the overall size of the site from over 400 pages down to around 80.
      5. Submitted 2nd reconsideration request.
      6. Denied 10 days later via MSG in WMT that stated simply that the site STILL did NOT meet Google's Guidelines.
      7. Restructured site and it's content.
      8. Denied 3rd time.

      Note: We have checked our link profile over and over, and we have NO Paid links. We have moved our entire site to a new platform, with clean code, new URL structure, etc.

      Does anyone have any feedback?

      Thanks.

        Thats what it looks like after 3 revisions? Makes me instantly repulsed, altho hard to say exactly why.

        • How are you making money out of this? it doesnt state that and therefore looks extremely untrustworthy
        • You are making statements like "nationally recognised" without backing them up with facts or referneces
        • You are using cheepo stock photos
        • your homepage has little worthwhile content
        • it just feels like a scam homepage, built by to feed off other people who are in a bad situation

        • Has anybody used Yext or Universal Business Listings as an automated approach to getting clients into all of the many directories? If so does it work? Or does Google penalize in using these automated services?
