Hello. My websites are : http://www.mixupdate.com http://www.xpertify.com http://www.mp3z.pk Although, through Webmaster tools I see over 4000 and 2000 links indexed for each website but I can't see the pages anywhere. I can see the pages only when I type site:mixupdate.com or the home-page if I type mixupdate.com. Even on typing my full website's name or some internal page's full Title, I can't see the links anywhere. Everything has suddenly disappeared. My websites had quite good rankings among SERPS. I was getting a lot of traffic as well as quite a lot of earnings through Adsense. The only changes I made were to mixupdate.com and those changes were off-site. I was working at a website called Attracta.com which was referred to me by Hostgator.com . I just submitted by website for analysis and it created a report. They showed me some broken links, missing meta tags and stuff to make my website perform better in search results. Also, it created a sitemap link and asked me to add that into my Robots.txt but I did not do any change. I just created a few links for my website as back-links and I am doing that from the past 7-days to make my websites do-good in rankings. I just don't understand how can all these 3 websites behave in such a way by Google. The only thing common among the websites is that each page of the website links to the other website's index pages. Any helps ? I'm really worried. Also, for mixupdate.com
Strange!! Did You Find Bad Server Response or Some Thing Like that!! Other wise its clearly indicates that Panda Update Hits Your Websites..
Nah I didn't see anything like that. Websites have been working fine. What is the Panda Update ? I have a 4th website too and each page of that website links to all 3 of these websites but that 4th website is almost 3 years older and nothing happened to it. Only these 3 websites which were almost 1 year or lesser old, got this issue. How can I fix this ?
Okay I've done a quick Google Search about the Panda Update which for me is okay. But I still can't believe how this update would've affected my website. 1) The website Xpertify.com was actually my friend's website and he had like 90% of duplicate content so I can understand why Panda Update affected him. 2) The only relation of my website ( Mixupdate.com ) with Xpertify.com was that my pages link to this website and also we use the same Adsense account on both websites, but I don't know how could this be an affect ? 3) My own website Mixupdate.com had more than 70% Unique Content so I don't think Panda would've affected it. 4) The 3rd website mp3z.pk is quite small, it just got 55 pages and all of them are unique + indexed perfectly. So could linking to the duplicate site xpertify.com would've given a blow to my websites because after all that was the only thing common between them. I've how-ever removed the linking all-together now.
Hi Asad. A similar thing happened to me. I made a website with a money converter and it was very successful. I was making up to £1.60 per click. I had started to get greedy and i bought another domain and put the exact website at the new domain name. I now had two websites with exactly the same content. The result? Instead of getting double income from adsense both of my websites had stopped getting hits. It was clear that I was penalized for duplicate content by google. In my opinion even having 30% duplicate content is too much. Try to make each website as unqiue as possible. Hope you liked the post. Many thanks.
Yes I did like your post but my problem is not that. 1. None of my website's had each others content. So no duplicate issue. 2. mp3z.pk was 100% unique as it was very new with just 55 pages but it was just that each page linked to my other websites as back-links and vice versa. So I just can't get how this website got penalized ? 3. The website Mixupdate.com was a lot more than 70% unique but the same thing in it was that each page was linking to a website ( Xpertify.com ) which had almost 100% duplicate content. Remember, the duplicate content in these websites was not from each other but some famous sites lets say CNN.
I have never heard about something similar. You have probably used some blackhat or spam methods, maybe by accident. Try to find some more connections between these websites because it is strange that the only thing in common are you links to each site.

Also, for mixupdate.com[/QUOTE] More than probably you got penalized by getting links from websites which are owned by yourself. This is a false way to raise the rank and I am sure google will pick up on this as many other people try to do the same thing.
Yeah that's why I'm worried because I never used any methods. The way of my back-linking is same and that's manual Profile, Blog Commenting or Social bookmarking websites and I've been doing that for years without problems. Yeah but that's not meant to raise traffic, that's just a Link-Sharing method. You can call Link-Partner websites. Many are there. Tell me a fix please! People at Google Staff are just talking bull-shit, they said that the English of my website is poor and all three websites got penalized due to that. I never agree to that because the English has always been the same from a whole year at the website instead the English may have gone better.
1. The websites are at different server. 2. Content is not duplicate. 3. I've removed all the Links I was sharing on the pages. I've posted at Google Help forum but all they come up with is the English at the websites although all the spellings are correct and I really don't think of that being an issue. How can I ask the actual staff for a review, for the last website, I've just sent a re-consideration request. I'm still unsure about whats happening.
One thing that I don't get - if your backlinks and content is good, why would they knock you off of search? They don't do that anyone - unless there's some blackhat SEO going on - and some things that you're failing to to tell us.
Yes I'm baffled too and I just can't seem to understand this. 3 websites taken down at the same time. I've told what-ever I could : 1. The websites were linking to each other that's the only common thing they had. 2. They were no duplicate content issues. 3. Asking Google staff, all they say is Poor English. 4. Hired a guy who told me that I was in Sandbox due to duplicate content but I don't think hes right because I didn't have duplicasy issues. He also told me to re-write some pages, I once ranked well for and re-submit the sitemap after changing URL's to make it better.
I have the exact same problem. No duplicate content either. Also hosted with hostgator and also just did that attracta thing. And now my site has been gone for the last 7 days. Is your site still gone?
