Im not to worried longterm im sure if will come back but its just taking so long for them to look at our request!

Thats interesting - Do you mind if I ask how did you contact them?

So no update - its been about 2 months and google hasn't even looked or replied to our reconsideration request.. Obviously traffic has died a death.. I wonder if theres anyone who we can reach out to about it.

We do reports, thought leaderships general opinion articles which are published on industry and business publications because they are high quality pieces of editorial written by industry experts of 15 years experience plus. We have never paid for a single link.

Well we are taking them down and we will see what happens, we can easily get them back if we need! Watch this space!!

The penalty is link related simply all the email said is: "Unnatural links to your site" with no more information other than a link to an article. We have done a full audit, aside from the spam we do have some links (like casino testimonials) that could look bad. Which we are in the process...

Its a mix, spammy links to image urls, some .IN domains, some .XYZ and they usual keywords sites. Also I have noticed someone has created super spammy articles such as "online jobs working from home" with a link to us. Which in my opinion is them trying to make it look like we are badly link...

I have experienced this also. I still don't understand why they do this in the first place?? I also have it where the content is showing in serps (exact match search) then when you click the serp link you are re-directed to a casino via affiliate link.

Well yes speed is a ranking factor already but CWV is more focused on UX-related signals (speed being one amongst other things) in the bigger picture of user experience. I am not a developer or coder and have had two developers work on the site and theres no more they can do without total...

Hi Everyone, We all know Core Web Vitals is becoming a ranking factor in May. How is everyone doing with this - we cannot get our scores to green - our site just isn't capable.

If you message me I can forward details of a small specialist content agency we have used. (UK based)
