Hello everyone,
Myself Aamir. 2 of my major websites got hit severely on November 10th 2011. Both of them are ranking very well in search engines. Suddenly on 10th november my organic traffic dropped from 1200 U.V to 54 U.V.


I have made reconsideration request. This is the email i got from Google:
------------
Dear site owner or webmaster of http://example.com/,
We received a request from a site owner to reconsider http://example.com/ for compliance with Google's Webmaster Guidelines.
We've reviewed your site and we believe that some or all of your pages still violate our quality guidelines.
In order to preserve the quality of our search engine, pages from http://example.com/ may not appear or may not rank as highly in Google's search results, or may otherwise be considered to be less trustworthy than sites which follow the quality guidelines.
If you wish to be reconsidered again, please correct or remove all pages that are outside our quality guidelines. When such changes have been made, please visit [google.com...] and resubmit your site for reconsideration.
If you have additional questions about how to resolve this issue, please see our Webmaster Help Forum for support.
Sincerely,
Google Search Quality Team
------------------------------------

I know, this is an automated email. But i realized that i got penalty from Google. After seeing this email, i have deleted all the pages from my website and have rewritten fresh content and sent one more reconsideration request to Google. Still no use :(

Could anyone suggest working solution to recover both of my websites?
One of my friend said, Buy Aged high PR domain which is somewhat related to your niche and do 301 redirect from Penalty domain to New aged high PR domain? Does it work out?

Penalty domain --------> (301 redict)---> New domain.
I think Google transfers all the PR juice and Link Juice to my New domain. May be i can gain my rankings quickly.
I dont know whether Google transfers Penalty also. If it does, then above method is worthless :(

Please help me if you know any method to recover my sites.

Hello aamirkhan, and welcome to the forums.

First, some clarification. Your sites are not suffering from a Panda demotion - they have a penalty for violating Google's guidelines and Google verified this for you. Panda may impact traffic like a penalty, but Panda really isn't a penalty - it's a new factor in organic ranking. Sites that are only impacted by Panda do not get the same response you did if they make a Reconsideration Request.

Also note that the date is wrong. There was only one Panda iteration in November reference [webmasterworld.com] and that was on the 19th, not the 10th.

With that clarification, you can focus your attention more precisely. Forget about the "Panda solutions" that you've read about here or anywhere else - that stuff doesn't apply to you. Since you deleted all your pages and created new ones but the penalty continues, there's a good chance Google thinks your off-site, backlink picture is manipulative.

There are still some other possibilities - that the domain has a penalty that will stay in place for a set time no matter what you do, or possibly your new content duplicated the same kind of violation. However, I'd first consider backlink troubles

Hello tedster,
Thank you for clarifying me very clearly. Yes, i agree that i have done little extra linking to both of them.

Actually, both of my websites are 7 months old. I was ranking very well in serps and i was in Google top 1 since 3 months continuously. Suddenly, a spammer jumped from 14th spot to 1st with very few backlinks. I was shocked and frightened. Mistakenly i have done some extra link building in the month of October and November :( . This is the only mistake i have made in voyage with these 2 sites. Still i can see that spammer ranking in top 2 with #*$!, Viagra,pharmacy links.

Well,I have also contacted my SEO company to remove those links which have done in the past 2 months. They are openly saying that they dont have any control over them. Why because they have done some Link exchanges, Social Bookmarks, Paid Directories and few Paid High PR Links. (ALL PAID HIGH PR LINKS WERE REMOVED).

Now i am completely speechless. I really don't know what to do know. How long does Penalty(Extra building Penalty) stays? 3moths, 6months or 9months?
