Manual Action Vs Algorithmic PenaltyThere is a lot of confusion on whether or not to send reconsideration requests to sites affected by Google penalties. Only a manual action from Google needs a reconsideration request. If you never had a manual action from Google, disavowing the bad links is sufficient. This article explains in detail on Manual vs Algorithmic penalties and who, why and how to send a re-consideration request.

 

My Site is hit? Is it a Manual action by Google webspam team?

  • The first place you have to look into is the webmaster tools. If you have not configured the Google WMT account yet, here is a step by step guide.
  • On the webmaster tools left side menu, under the “Search Traffic” section you will find “Manual Spam”.  If you see something similar then it is disaster. YES, YOUR SITE HAS A MANUAL PENALTY

I do not have any messages on the manual action section. Should I send a reconsideration request still?

If you see as below then there is no manual action taken and you need not send a re-consideration request.

So does it mean I have an algorithmic penalty from Google?

That depends on various factors. If your traffic had been hit hard on any of this period, then you have got an algorithmic penalty
