Hi all, I was the lucky recipient of one of the messages that seem to be prolific at the moment about unnatural links. It was the usual " Specifically, look for possibly artificial or unnatural links pointing to your site that could be intended to manipulate PageRank. Examples of unnatural linking could include buying links to pass PageRank or participating in link schemes." type of thing. Our previous SEO did indulge in some unsavoury wordpress blog links etc, which we are cleaning up and removing as much as possible.
My question is this however - our rankings and traffic remain as good as ever - surely if we were going to be penalised it would be round about the same time as the message? Is google sending it as something of a warning?
Would you be inclined to submit a reinclusion request or stay silent until such time as we're penalised and rankings drop?
Any advice or opinion gratefully received.
