Google posted a new article today answering common questions
about submitting reconsideration requests and managing your backlink profile.
Google Search Quality representatives, Kaspar Szymanski and
Uli Lutz, co-authored the article, going through the more common questions on
this topic.
Google says you should really only submit a reconsideration
request when you receive a manual penalty but if you are uncertain if you have
a manual or algorithmic penalty, submitting the request “is fine,” Google said.
Other tips include:
Only submit the reconsideration request after you take
action to fix the issues with your site.
Use Google’s “links to your site” report within Webmaster
Tools to examine bad links pointing to your site.
Remove bad links by disavowing them, nofollowing them and
having them completely removed.
When submitting a reconsideration request, provide a
detailed explanation of what you changed and why.
Responses for reconsideration request can take a few days
but may take much longer depending on the site and current workload.
Googlers review each reconsideration request manually.
