We worked on a .co.uk and redirect the .com domain to the .co.uk. It appears that the penalty has finally caught up with us as we got a notifcation regarding unnatural linking, despite doing nothing of the sort on the .co.uk domain. Hopefully I can simply get rid of the 301 redirect and my rankings will stay safe. Thanks, Mike Adding on to my previous post. We worked on a .co.uk and redirect the .com domain to the .co.uk.

Seriously, if this were John Doe's awesome browser instead of Chrome, I wonder if there would have been just a subdirectory level penalty.

It dropped from top 5 to around 70-80 and was the only page on my site to do so. I'm really unsure as to what my plan of action should be. Is this a manual penalty that needs manually reversing? Or will removing any dodgy links reverse the rankings automatically? Thanks, Mike I recently received a penalty for just ONE of my pages on my site.

Interesting, but dismaying that they even saw it as necessary. I'm afraid the repercussions may be unpleasant for a lot of folks. You might find this video that Andy Beard put up today interesting on that front. http://andybeard.eu/3606/reinstate-chrome.html Interesting, Rishi-
