Amazon is still one of the best ways of making money online. Unfortunately, I made 10 sites before the updates and the traffic has been severely affected by the updates. What can I do to bring those sites back to earning reasonable amounts? Are there any Amazon video coaching programs that address the updates?
Just shift your sites to other non keyword rich 2-3 years old domains and do seo again. Penguine updated affected rankings for keyword rich domains.
If they haven't been sandboxed, you can try mixing up your anchor text to make it look more natural and build links gradually using a number of sources.
The anchor text of your backlinks has a lot to do with it. I've found that sites that contain the same anchor text over and over again seem to be greatly affected by this Penguin Update. Make it more random if you're doing backlinking. Also add new content as soon as possible to those sites because I've heard from many that said that stagnant sites without recently updated content got hit pretty good.
@hope2life I disagree. None of my sites with keyword rich domains were affected nor were most of my friends' sites. We did virtually no SEO beyond some social bookmarking and a few high quality article submissions. It was the people with spammy backlinks and anchor text that was always the same that got hosed.
Google everytime put things more difficult for us.Just try to provide quality to them and you will be fine .
Disagree with the idea that Penguin hit to rich key worded sites. Penguin goes against the bad quality link and black hat SEO. Anyway, work for new unique content and don't go for black hat SEO. Hope you can regain soon.
