G Unnatural link penalty with natural links

Okay, I just saw 4 of my sites receiving unnatural link warning and those sites are dropped from page 1 to page 4 and lower. Each of these sites are linked together as they are within the same niche. Other links have been built manually and they are high quality.

These are all sites that survived penguin / panda and have high quality content...

Now, seems google wants to punish my sites for some reason

Has anyone recovered from unnatural link penalty without removing links? I mean there`s no c*appy links to remove in this case...

Thanks,

    Define high quality. Manual vs automated does not have anything to do with unnatural link notices. Links built manually can be just as bad as spam blasts.

      This is so true. I am noticing link velocity coming from IP diversity plays a key role as well.

        This could be the reason..

        Explain your findings, what do you mean? Lots of links from a wide variety of IPs ? Plays a key role in what?

      Agree. People tend to justify the quality of their links through building them manually. But little do they know that you can have the same bad quality links from automated and manual link building.

    Yeh I'd be interested to know the actual quality of the links in this case too.

    Well said by Mike. Sometimes we take it guaranteed that manual backlinks are always of good quality. Manual way is preferable because you can judge the quality of the site before building backlinks from.
