Sites with Reconsidered Penalties are Not Monitored More Closely
Google doesn’t monitor sites which have had a penalty and successful reconsideration request more closely afterwards, and there’s nothing that hangs around.
Repeated Reconsideration Review Requests Are Not Delayed
Google will process multiple reconsideration requests without waiting for a fixed period between the reviews, but if they see a website going back and forth they might wait longer to take a look.
Google Wants to Automatically Ignore Unnatural Content
Instead of applying manual penalties for unnatural content, Google wants to develop automatic solutions to ignore anything unnatural, like they already do for unnatural linking, so it won’t harm you and you won’t have to take any action. But in any situation where a penalty would be applied, the reviewer would probably take the time to look at the site.
Reconsideration Requests Can Take a Month to Process
It can take Google up to a month to respond to reconsideration requests, particularly linking related issues. Google doesn’t send warnings first because they want to take immediate action when they find content with a problem.
Abuse of Schema Policy May Result in a Sitewide Manual Action for the Specific Type of Rich Result
Usually if you go against schema policy, a manual action for the specific type of rich result could be applied for the entire site until a reconsideration process is completed.
A Domain’s History Won’t Affect Reconsideration Requests
As long as your site isn’t repeatedly receiving manual actions, the domain history won’t affect the priority or complexity of a reconsideration request.
Google Can Pass Penalties from Migrated Spam Sites
If you redirect a website that has received a manual action for spam to a different website, Google will be able to follow this and is able to penalize the target destination site if you have redirected between the websites yourself.
Only Spam Manual Actions Have Lingering Effects
Once a manual action is lifted, there will be no further consequences. The only exception is manual actions for spam, as these sites are removed entirely from the index and need to be recrawled, reprocessed and indexed again from scratch.
No Penalty For Overuse of Fetch & Render But Limits Exist
There is no penalty for continual use of Fetch & Render, however there are some limits to the frequency with which you can use this tool.
