Today when i checked webmaster tools under manual spam section. I got Manual spam and reason was Thin content with little or no added value. Then I checked other sites from same webmaster tools account, there are 11 sites, all of them received same manual action. I never received any mail, no notification on site messages section regarding this manual action.
I just need confirmation whether it is something to do with any error in webmaster tools or all of the sites really received manual spam actions.
Most of the article on sites are above 500 words, quality content (no spun or copied).

    If the sites are similar to that android blog in your sig, there's pages that only have couple of paragraphs of unique text. The rest is copied installation instructions. And the text is far from high-quality - I'd also call it thin content with little added value. The other two sites are not that bad, but the content is fairly thin.

    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

      You need confirmation?

      Did you build the sites or did someone else do it and you never looked at them?

      It's always pretty clear what the problem is when Google sends out such message so quit fooling yourself.

      It is as it is!

      Seems the Android site is only about how to install Bluestack and the rest is just filler.

    500 words or not copied content is not only parameter of good quality content. If all of them are something like blog and are you publishing guest posts? More details would be helpful. You have to dig in deeper as you have received manual actions message.

    I know there was some problem with android blog, but there were around 11 sites. out of 11, 5 were of quality sites. 1 was a brand new blogspot site with 0 post... Big G even penalize that site..(Thin Content..) Penalty on New site with 0 content...looks suspicious.. No one starts a blog with 100 of quality article.. it needs to be updated daily/weekly...
    But penalizing all sites (11) from one google webmaster account..Lots of Work...

      How many blogspot sites did you have on that single Google profile? Was all the blogspots hit? The reason I ask is the one blogspot with no content, looks like G just grouped everything into one WMT account bundle & slapped.

      Did the blogspot with no content have any spammy or obvious paid links that were also pointing at the other slapped sites?

    You need to understand what the message means, it does not matter it has 500 words or not, it does not matter even if is "quality content" (in your eyes obviously).

    What this message mean is that you just created some pages in order to "pre sell" something, so Google just see your content as a gateway page, adding no real value, yes Google sees you have created "500 words" articles, but still realizes that there is no value in your content, better just sends the visitor directly to the article/service you are promoting, that is why it says "thin content".

    These penalties have some time span in order to be removed, what you need is to add REAL VALUABLE content, otherwise you wont rank, I have gotten that message before.
