I got this email from google a while ago for one of my sites. Apparently there are "unnatural links" pointing to my site.
This is a site I created a few years ago and I'll admit I did use one of the link building services.
Here is a part of the e-mail.

Unnatural inbound links
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 (URL of my site). There may be other actions on your site or parts of your site.
I'm wondering if I should just abandon the site and move the articles to another site which has no manual link building. Any ideas?
