Google Updates Warning
Webmaster tool warnings were sent to website owners from Google. Receiving a warning means your website may be in critical state due to the changes. One of the main issues to be concerned with is the “unnatural or artificial links” notice that pertains to the backlinks of your site. If you don’t immediately fix these issues, Google might penalize your website for being manipulative. Traffic networks or link farms like BMR and ALN were allegedly caught by Google and have de-indexed their websites. Availing such similar services indicates the possibility of also having de-indexed links going back to your website.
