Google is offering very very basic tips on reconsideration requests this week, calling it the week of GoogleRecon. Yesterday's tip was pretty basic also, if you get slapped with a manual action, Google says you should use the resources they provide to help you fix the issue.
Google said on Google+ that they provide many resources to help you understand why a manual action has been taken on your website and what part of your site is affected. They include:
- Read about Manual Actions in the Help Center: http://goo.gl/w9WdpQ
- Watch YouTube videos on reconsideration requests: http://goo.gl/3N7HZe
- Ask for help in the Help Forum: http://goo.gl/bl3NzR
- Get live help in a Office Hour Hangout (posted on our Google+ page)
Here is the image they made for this:
