    I just received a huge penalty from google. Everything on my website is white hat and unique content. However, the site is only 1 year old and I've been building a lot of links. The PR checker says I'm at 3 but I'd guess my real PR is PR6+

    Should I wait for the penalty to be removed or should I contact Google and apologize for building unnatural links?

    Haha, Honestly, I think the real reason for my penalty is because last week on DP I wrote that I don't believe in the google sandbox. Literally a couple days later I got sandboxed. I think there are a bunch of guys from google checking this site; careful what you say :confused:

    That's funny :D .
    I think you should remove unnatural links and wait to see if penalty will be lift.
