Got an email from Google that they have detected hidden links and have removed the site for 30 days and that I should file a reinclusion request.

Now the site is an authority site, long time number 1, with sitelinks in the serps.

The only affected area is the www.mysite.com/blog directory as that is where the hidden links are.

The blog part is now not showing in serps for site:www.mysite.com/blog but my main part of the site is ok and still number one.

I have filed a reinclusion request after having removed offending links from the header but had to select www.mysite.com as there was no option in webmaster tools to select www.mysite.com/blog.

Question. Should I be worried? I am not bothered about the blog part coming back as it is a minor part of the site anyway. Perhaps I should not have filed the request!
