I removed all popups, and IM ads and requested a reconsideration and got a reply from google today all three sites. It's the exact same wording for all three.
Google received a reconsideration request from a site owner for http://www.jism.org/.
We've reviewed your site and we believe that http://www.jism.org/ still violates our quality guidelines. These guidelines outline illicit practices which may lead Google to take action on a site in order to keep webspam out of search results. In order to preserve the quality of our search engine, pages from http://www.jism.org/ 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.
Please correct or remove all content that is outside our quality guidelines. Keep in mind that simply deleting all of your site’s content and immediately requesting reconsideration will not lead to success. Instead we recommend that you spend considerable time and effort to make sure your site provides original, valuable content for users. In order to have a successful reconsideration request, you will need to show that your updated site contains content that does not violate our guidelines.
For more specific information about the status of your site, visit the Manual Actions page in Webmaster Tools. From there, you may request reconsideration of your site again when you believe your site no longer violates the quality guidelines.
I wonder if google will relink my site if I remove all ads from the main page.
Anyone have any suggestions?
