If your site had been penalized, will changing the domain name help in its recovery?

Just wondering. It's so difficult to recover from penalty. My blog had penalized right after using SubmitEdge.

 

You didn't really include question in your post, so I'm not sure what you want to know. If you are asking whether it's hard to recover from a penalty, it really depends on the type of penalty. Can you give more information and clarify your question?

Edited the question.

 

There still isn't a question there and you aren't really providing any information about the issue.

 

If you're talking about registering a new domain, transferring the content from the old site to the new one and deleting the original completely- then of course no penalty will apply but you'll have lost any link juice from the original domain as they won't be linked. Furthermore, transferring to a new domain and then redirecting the old domain to the new could *potentially* lead to the penalization being transferred - yet unlikely.

From my point of view if your site has been hit hard the best solution is to leave it to the past, and create a new domain and transfer your content to a new fresh site. It will require less effort to rank than recovering a dead site.
But care what I wrote, start new only if you have been hit hard!

 

Transferring to a new domain might help, but it also takes a lot of time. In the future, you might have to be more careful what kinds of submission tools you use. Generally, it's better to do anything human-run rather than software-run. Otherwise, you suffer a huge penalty.

 

It's not about the tools or manual submitting the question is how much control you can have?

 

you can find your keyword rank on google webmaster tool

 

Actually, if you are registering a new domain then you are not recovering your blog. You are, instead creating a new blog. If your site was penalized and you really love that domain name then you can revive that. Though it may take time depending on your blog posting frequency. I suggest you to post more often then google will eventually index or reconsider your site. You also have to contact them requesting to reconsider your blog. You may also delete the backlinks generated by your automated submission. The ones that violated google's terms.

On the other hand, if you want a fresh start then you have to de-index your site first. Then register a new domain. Create and post contents there. Don't transfer the content from your old blog unless it's totally de-indexed.

 

Thank you very much for your input. I wonder why one user keeps on saying there isn't any question but all of you have provided insights.

 

I saw comment here from some users that redirecting the old domain name to new domain name would also help in recovering. But I haven't tested it, it may be helpful.

 

If you check your site with a decent back link tracker and see there are quite a few good links pointing to you, then you might want to go the route of cleaning up/disavowing bad links and filing for reconsideration. BUt is there is no good backlinks left, then what's the point of preserving the contaminated domain?

 

I want to know if the disavow tool really works. I have disavowed several link 6 months ago and they're still there.
Don't believe any more in this tool, especially if from google!

 

did not work for me.

 

The IP needs to change. Basically it needs to be a new site in Google's eyes.

 

Creating a new domain would just give you a clean (but blank) slate.

 

How do I go about doing that?

 

I see. Thanks.

 

It's really hit hard. No views ever come from Google now when it was performing well prior to the penalty. I may just completely create a new site and just let the penalized one remain a sitting duck online.
