Hi, I have one site was over-optimized for search engine. It gets many hits from Google and Yahoo for several months, but now it is not indexed in Google anymore. I still get some traffic from Yahoo. Do you think over-SEOing your website is not the right way to do? How can I make the website to appear in Google again? Please advise. Thanks.
I mean using high keyword density in the published articles than the normal one Using keyword in the title, alt images, etc. I don't spam site. It is a white hat SEO.
My friend if you increase density abnormally then it is also spam. You write your content according to Visitors not SEs. If u do so SE also likes your site.
Using keywords in the title, alt images, etc is fine but if you stuff them with your keywords then its going to hamper the site and yeah there are sites who have to face this situation due to over optimization which certainly is not favored by the search engines. If you say that its white hat SEO that you are doing then you just need to see that in which areas have you worked in excess with the SEO.
Lol..What was your keyword density?? You usually won't get site slapped for keyword stuffing. Is your site being indexed at all? (If you aren't sure just type in site:yoursitehere.com, if nothing comes up you been slapped up by cutts and the boys) Otherwise you probably did something else that's equally/worse bad (good englrish!) and it's probably a good idea to find out what it is, that way you can keep getting some traffic.
You could have triggered a penalty if you title tags are repetitive or too well aligned with H1-H6, or with the descriptions.
Right, high keyword density is also considered as spam. Check your keyword density first, after that continue to promote your site.
If you used a site to play with google in anyway (anything against their TOS) they can penalize you in multiple ways. Do everything by the book always.
No. I think over-optimization is good for short terms only, for several months. After that your site will die because of google penalty. Is there anyone know how can I request reinclusion in Google?
Are you sure that the techniques you were using were not against google"s policy, because that's the only reason that I can see that your website would be de-indexed.
That's right, anything extreme is not good, when you over optimize your site google will find it very un natural, so you hvae to make your SEO as much natural as possible Go Green
If you "overdid" it , i think maybe google saw it as spam and took your site off. Thats just one explanation , other than that I don't see why you'd get penalized for optimizing your site.
I only use title and place 1 or 2 keywords at content. I don't even use meta tags, seo is 90 % links, I mean Google. Placing tags and lots of keywords is no usefull
