Google’s John Mueller: “We know that our warnings are confusing”

Many website owners are confused by the warning messages that Google sends. Some webmasters think that particular backlinks have a negative influence on their rankings although they haven’t. Others think that Google penalized their whole website although only a single page is affected.

In an online discussion, Google’s John Mueller said that they are aware that the messages are confusing (in this case referring to hacked websites):

“When a site is algorithmically found to have been compromised, a reconsideration request is unnecessary — it’ll be updated automatically as we recrawl & reindex the content from there, and see that it’s no longer compromised.

The normal crawling & indexing can take a bit of time, so unfortunately you’ll need to be a bit patient. In cases where the site was manually found to be compromised, you can still submit a reconsideration request to have it reviewed. You’ll see the difference by checking the manual action feature in Webmaster Tools.

We’re looking into ways to make this process a bit clearer, more straightforward & consistent, I realize it’s a bit confusing at the moment.
