    Hi Guys,

    I got a lot of directory links most of sites are now PR0 and same from artciles directories.We build thoses sites around 5-6 years ago to our old website.

    Now we have a new site, i used 301 redirects to pass links value to new website lansing pages. I got Google Unnatural links message last week :(. So if I delete all 301 redirects from htaccess file, would you think google will consider this ? Let me know your feedback


    Many thanks

    In Google Webmaster Tools there is a place to 'Disavow Links', where you manually tell Google that a link going to your site is spam or unnatural.
    If you have hundreds it may take a while, but it'll be worth it. Normally you'll have to explain why its bad and that you've taken all steps to make it better.

    Horrible advice
    When you receive an unnatural link warning like you did you are required to remove the links and clean up your link profile. You can disavow everything all day and every day and you will never remove your penalty.
    An unnatural link warning is a manual penalty and to recover you'll want to identify all of the artificial links and start removing them.
    In order to do so you'll need to look deep into your links and find out which links are the cause of your problem. Directory links will need to be removed, article links, blog network links, paid links and so forth.
    Be sure you are documenting the whole process when you are removing links so you can submit this to Google. Otherwise Google will not believe that any work has been done.
    I'd suggest using a service for link removals as there's a good one that will help you do everything and get the penalty removed for you.

    Thank you all, I manage to get out from manual penalty after 7 working days. It is really good feeling after all hard work. Look like Google want to see your action against thoses links. If anyone want to know about Google FLA please let me know .

    The main question is - does your new website have some other spammy links, apart from those coming to the old site? If not, removing 301 should help as the new domain whould have no backlinks at all.

    So what did you do to recover? Did you remove 301 redirect or just cleaned up the profile?
    7 working days is a very fast TAT to remove the penalty.
