Someone told me the whole google penalty thing is made up for adsense. Its a way to force webmasters to spend money on there adsense. Also a great way to pit webmasters against each other. I don't really know what it is. I do know that I will continue to fight for my site and become less dependant on google. Google will eventually have there day. You cant be king forever. If this is about forcing webmasters into using there adwords then thats a real shame.

The sad thing is I really take care of my site. When all this went down I didn't know. Once I did I tried to make it right. For over a year and half I have done everything possible with no result. Google doesn't tell you anything. Everytime i submit a reconsideration its the same thing. Matt says they dont tell the bad guys why there site has been penalized....I guess according to google I am the bad guy. I have spent more money fixing things in my site then my site is even worth for google :(

[swtsinamon66]

I have submitted at least 10 reconsideration requests with no result they are always the same automated response.... Ive given up on reconderation requests.

Bottom line is I wont delete my domain because google wants me to. The users love the site, yahoo loves the site and bing loves the site. Only google hates it...sad:(

Whats really terrible about this whole penalty thing is the answer is to get a new domain. Get a new domain and the penalty is done. Its sad really, People try to make a living on the internet and you have a search engine like google penalizing them with no warnings. Boom your just screwed....deal with it. Were google and thats just the way we do things. I have even tried contacting matt cutts again with no results. Yet a competitor ranked on my site on his blog. He wouldnt even let me defend it

I have spent over a year doing everything possible to remove this penalty. Nothing works, I submit a reconsideration and I get the same auto response everytime. There really isn't anything more I can do to fix this. I have fixed the code in the site, took all 3 of my sites and made them 1, no paid links....and yet I am in no better place then I was when they penalized me. Its a shame that google doesnt recognize actual webmasters that want to follow there guidelines. Its all a shame,not way out

Hi,

Very sad story, and I do feel for you.I am a web master and web developer (I run servers and also do my own programming)...in this instance, and I know you dont want to buy another domain name, however what you may be able to do is do a DNS alias or 301 redirect from the new domain name to your current one...I cant see why you would be "penalised" from a develoipment persective...although it does look like every request I look at your site, a session variable is created (not a problem really

too similar anchor text in links - is my bet i have the exact same problem and thats what i am trying to fix - it is said that wait 60 days after fixing and it automatically corrects - this is not a paid links thing its anchor text over optimization.

Hi

I'm in a similar situation. A nice clean website with 100% original content, no black hat tactics, for a waterpolo club in France (not even a business website). Reconsideration requests are useless. People in the google webmaster forum ... useless as well ... I used to be a Ggle fan, but now, my search homepage is Bing, because I'm sure they'll show me all the relevant results. I understand they try to fight against spamdexing, but it seems there's a lot of collateral damages !

Google sucks. Google Webmaster forum sucks.

[gazzerman]

Im in the same boat, but I notice you are still link exchanging with teenchat.com

Oh and I agree, screw Google webmaster forums, they suck
