I just logged into my webmasters tool and found this.

http://www.mysite.com/: Unnatural inbound links - Mar 7, 2014

Google has detected a pattern of artificial or unnatural links pointing to your site.

Buying links or participating in link schemes in order to manipulate PageRank are violations of Google's Webmaster Guidelines.

As a result, Google has applied a manual spam action to mysite.com. There may be other actions on your site or parts of your site.

Recommended action
+ Use the Links to Your Site feature in Webmaster Tools to download a list of links to your site.
+ Ensure that unnatural links pointing to your site are removed.

I have not built any backlinks for this sites, paid or natural.

When I check my links to site is shows No data available.. Why is it so? Can anybody help with this?

    I have no direct experiences with this problem but this is what I will do:
    1. Check google index for you domain name (google out: "domain.com") to find any site mentioning my domain
    2. Use majesticseo tool if they found anything (also ahrefs)
    3. Write this question to google webmaster forum productforums.google.com/d/forum/webmasters
    4. Get familiar with google disawov tool

    If you are looking for the shitty links they are talking about.

    Go back over
    Every link package you bought from the wso section
    Every fiverr gig you ordered
    Every link spam tool you used

    Then list all those backlink urls into your WMT. And mark them all "Disavow Please"

    You have junk links one way or another. It doesn't matter who you say built the links, a WMT link warning is still there.

    Sometimes people do this by accident, or because they've not kept up with the times. I know a web developer who still adds footer links on client's sites.

    Try again with the link download. Maybe GWT was having a bad day.

    If you want I can take a peek at your site with Majestic. (Shoot me a PM.) Might not tell you anything, because it's often slow and a bit inaccurate, but you can see patterns there.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

    Check both www and non www version of your site on WMT and you will get backlink data in at least one them. And regarding the manual penalty, you have to download the list of backlinks from all sources - WMT, ahrefs, majesticseo. Then perform a complete backlink audit and anchor text audit. Contact the owners of bad links for link removal. Disavow the links that you couldn't remove and file a reconsideration request to Google.

    Go over all your backlinks and delete the ones that are placed in spammy locations.

    Try other backlink checkers as well. GWT is known for not showing you all the links.
    Even if you didn't order any deals or gigs yourself, someone might have done it for you. A competitor, for example.

      Actually it's one of the worst tools on the market for link analysis, overpriced and doesn't help in anyone in an unnatural link penalty like this guy.

      Were you part of mybloguest? They just got penalized and warnings have been sent out.

      I recommend finding a link removal service for your needs, linkdelete is one option but there are others out there.

      START now because the longer you wait the longer your sites rankings are in the crapper.

    Sometimes $hit sites link to you even if you did nothing for a year or more. That signals to G00gle that you've only gained crap links and nothing worthy in the last year or so. Same thing happened to me. I just say "give them the special finger" and go on my way with social media and getting real relevant traffic w/o blackhat.
    It's like a dam traffic cop giving you a ticket for speeding when you weren't. There really needs to be an objective 3rd legal party so they cannot slap people at will and hurt their business.
    Where is the warning ticket?
    You can bet someone is developing something like this.
