Just got a domain yesterday, my first. I've only added a couple posts so far and I logged into Webmaster Tools only to see a warning of unnatural links... from August of last year. How bad is this? I haven't linked it anywhere yet, I can only assume it expired some time ago and the old owners were of the dodgy variety. I submitted a reconsider request but I don't know how much this is going to hurt my chances of ranking well or even being indexed. OpenSiteExplorer only finds one back link but I can see more of them from googling. Not sure how to find all of them.
Even if you find a better tool to detect the unnatural links it is going to be a dreadful task to get those links removed. If you are able to see indexed spammy links on search results, its high time you consider buying a cleaner domain and selling this one.
Hi, You just need to make your natural backlink profile other you will be penalized by penguin. make use of your anchor text in variances & post unique content.
