GWT notice of detected unnatural links to http://www.seobook.com/

I am already getting fake webmaster tool notification messages using the above subject line & the following message: Hello dear managers of http://www.seobook.com/ ! My name is Olivia, and the issue I’m gonna to discuss is for sure not new, but really actual and complicated, otherwise your website and therefore business wouldn’t have lost their favourable positions. Yes, I want to talk about Google Panda and Penguin. These virtual beasts become more and more freakish. Don’t you think it’s time to pacify them?

Google’s 52 Search Quality Highlights For April

One of the big changes for me was our latest algorithm improvement to help you find more high-quality sites. But, that’s not all we’ve been up to.
