I have four sites for sale as I'm not interested in the Gambling market anymore.

They are:

I've built my sites in Joomla and I think you can do some very cool stuff with this CMS.

It says 211 results but when you click on page 2 or 3 there are only 14?

It can't be either? A manual spam action is imposed because of the "Egregious" techniques used to try and rank. You'll just be starting over again with a new domain now the penalty is lifted.
...

Why not expect to rank too high?

If the site is ten times better than it was before through adding loads of content then it should rank higher than before it received the penalty. No penalty means...

Good thinking I've made a new sitemap and submitted it.

A page a day is coming back.

I'm not holding my breath. This is going to be a long road back.

Egregious LOL. Well I guess it's easy to fix because the old site is gone.

You should have a message in webmaster tools which gives you the reason the site is excluded and an error code that lets you know what you need to fix.

If its the same penalty - thin content penalty - then I waited a month for the first review and after that 2-3 weeks at a time.

And today Mcafee lifted their "this site is spam" notifications and it has a green tick! Thanks Doolally!

Good news! Your reconsideration request has been approved and Google has removed any manual action on your site. Bear in mind that removal of a manual action doesn’t guarantee that your site’s...

You're right there Jim. And it's no use moaning about it either. Coming back from this penalty will be a major achievement.

I'll strip it back to basics which is a shame because it did look a...

Yes introducing the text has now brought up a whole new set of problems. I'll have a think before making more drastic changes otherwise I'll end up chasing my tail.

One possibility is to do away...

Thanks Wonder, it wasn't a problem until I enabled the text description so I guess the best thing to do is to noindex the category pages. Thanks!

[QUOTE=Doolally;813136]I have McAfee installed and it flags up this warning page when I go to your site. Lots of others will have it installed too and will avoid the site rather than take a risk.

Well sometimes it just needs another pair of eyes. That has made a massive difference already. Thanks Bookies!

Thanks for that I'll get it done. I didn't want to destroy the "look" of the site but that makes sense.

Hi Guys,
Today I received my fifth rejection request from google to have the "thin content penalty" lifted from the casinoexpert site.

At this point I can either:

A: Give up on the site and...

Here's a blog post I wrote last year to try and simplify the thinking for this subject http://bit.ly/1U1NCO9

See my sig the only difference is that I've used Joomla but Jreviews works for Wordpress as well.

Jreviews is fantastic can't recommend it highly enough.

Exactly this.

I wish I'd thought of it before you just pointed it out! Instead I disabled all the search functionality which was the whole point of my site Doh!
