Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Yeah, I'll have a look, thanks. The problem is this, I manage over 100 sites, 2 have received the dreaded warning - they have a small amount of spam I admit, others have more. None of the sites I manage have even 30% links spam. Simply impossible to know what google considers spam. I guess that means it has to be 100% white hat, but we all know that many will continue to test the boundaries, and do it successfully> Point is, the rules of the game have never been clear,  and personally, i think there's a big ppc agenda at google.

Thanks that's helpful, I don't normally have dupe content so will check but dupe content doesn't usually mean de-listing in my experience. when you say similar template, my sites are on standard w/p 2011, what's wrong with that, thousands of sites like that .... Still doesn't add up to me ...other sites with lots more content and definitely original also effected - your comments on http://www.courtservices.org.uk/ would really be appreciated. Thanks for your input so far also.

No problem! I'm so sorry for the inconvenience! I just pushed the remaining pending reports through, so I think you should be set, but if you continue to run into any problems, just let me know!

Mine is working now and very fast, so hopefully yours will be soon.

Hi! It is a result of the OSE update. Rand talks about it a little in the blog post at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/brand-new-open-site-explorer-is-here when he says: In addition to all the amazing new features in Open Site Explorer, Linkscape's index just updated using a new infrastructure that's allowed us to crawl much deeper on large, important sites. For many pages/domains, this will mean an increase in the total number of links we report, but likely a lower count of linking domains (unless you've gained a lot of links in late June/July) since we're excluding many domains that are low-quality/not-well-linked-to. We'd love your feedback on this index, as it's the first one of its kind, and will continue to see tweaks/improvements over the next few updates.
