I don't know why. I tops in bing, yahoo and other famouc SEs but no matter what I do, it doesn't appear in google . I jsut disappeared after penguin update. Is there any way I could now the reason?
Ask yourself honestly- have you been using any techniques for link building that Google would frown upon? Any techniques consider grey/blackhat should now be targeted towards tier 1 and tier 2 links, rather than linking with this techniques directly to your money site. WebDev
Google has changed a lot of its algorithm, crappy links are needless now and they can measure if people don't like your site or leave very quickly. Best chance is to offer good content and unique stuff where people like to link at.
You should try other link-building way. Best way to increase your back-links (quality too) is too find good blogs where to submit guest posts.
As you already know Penguin is all about spammy back-links. Have you tried any such thing ever since the first Penguin update? One of my was affected by the first Penguin update although I never followed any spammy automated tools for back-link building. I submitted reconsideration request although there was no notice of manual spam action. Tried disavow tool, but all in vain. I have not find any recovery solution as of now. You may try disavow tool and ask Google not to consider spammy links. I am not sure if this works or not but if you have to try every solution of a problem out there.
You really need to look at anchor text. Google can not really tell if you have paid for links / used software etc... all they can do is look at the approach. White hat sites got banned too you know. Refer to your anchor text distribution. For example: YourDomain.com/buy-cheap-golf-clubs If you have more than 30% of your anchors saying "buy cheap golf clubs", then you are going to get hit. The penalty gets worse when the sites are less relevant | there is a higher percentage of EM anchors | and/or these anchors come from 'bad neighborhoods' like FFA's, link farms, and low grade directories. It really is unfortunate because SEOs and Webmasters alike were doing exactly what Google told them to do before Penguin. (even without irrelevant links) Which is... GO HEAVY on money keywords in your anchors. Now they have changed the game. However, all is not lost... you have a couple of options. 1.) Go get a paid account at Ahrefs.com (if you don't already) 2.) Examine your anchor text distributions 3.) Disavow many of the site wide "blog roll" links that often say "partner" 4.) Disavow many of the footer links and anything from sites that are blogs unrelated to your site. 5.) Disavow a large percentage of the EMA (exact match anchors of the destination URL) 6.) Find quality white hat link builders and get hundreds / thousands of links that, while a little lower quality Web 2.0 stuff, is ALL YOUR DOMAIN and nothing else in the anchor. (thereby reducing the % of heavy keyworded anchors) 7.) Take down the offending sub-domain URLs 8.) Pay for links from quality sites that are in content (if your content isn't getting natural links) and VARY the anchor to include non-money "click here" keywords. 9.) Go to major blogs / sites and look for links and how they use them. I like TechCrunch and Mashable because they hand out links but in content and with anchors that are written correctly. This is our anchor text distribution. We have had no problems
I had completely same problem. Penguin hit my site. I created new one and started white hat link building. But it's harder now and i'm still at 2% from previous traffic. I'm adding fresh content daily but it looks like google ignores me completely. Site is indexed in google but ranked bad. So if you find any good solution i would much apritiate it.
I can only attest to the people saying they have had some success with it. We don't have links we need to disavow, so we haven't used it obviously. Mostly because we don't have over-optimized anchors. That is the crux of Penguin over-optimized anchors, % points of them, where they are pointing to etc... Again, I am suggesting a multi-tiered approach. Here, read this article... Incredible read and shows "the big picture": http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/recovery-from-google-penguin-tips-from-the-trenches
You should provide, your website to get better help. But, in general it maybe a lack of different areas like most people fall under, including myself. Lack of posts, trust factor, links, etc.
Yep.. Otherwise you have folks flying blind here. You are asking people to guess what your problem is. You will still get a ton of responses though. Nigel
