The affected section<br \/>\n    of the site may be separated in our systems so that, over time, it ranks independently from the rest of the site.\n  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n  Site owners will continue to be <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/answer\/9044175\" class=\"external-link\">notified within Search Console<\/a><br \/>\n  when a manual action is applied.
