I read a lot of posts/threads about penalization,but didn't noticed a single one about recovering.Anyone have experience with it?If yes,what methods was used to recover?
try to find what makes google penalizes you , remove it, than on google webmaster tools submit for reconsideration . has your website PR dropped ? mine dropped from 2 to 0 yesterday
I also got recovered from a possible Google Slay. I just removed Google's Adsense code and it helped my blog to recover. It took 2-3 months to get my previous search engine rankings back. Lalucochin
Many times the things or effects people are experiencing could be rather filters than penalties. For instance, when you take part in some automated reciprocal link building Google already is aware of and by removing the links, the normal situation will be once again had.
I and 1000's other webmaster are hit by penalization,and common thing we all used smart thumbs script.This happened probably because some black hat spammers used st/st.php in their urls and that url is used by smart thumbs script.As a solution,we now working on url rewrite,so url wont be anymore st/st.php etc,it will be more seo friendly,like /bla/bla/bla.So once this fix is applied,i would need to submit reconsideration for each site?Since a lot of mine sites has been affected.And yes i will also check on each site do i need to fix something else too according to google webmaster guidelines.
@ jacobkell : have you ever placed any backlink selling code , or written paid reviews on your websites ???
No,beside there is no sense to discuss about any classic cause of penalization since there is over 1000 sites penalized and they all have different content and type of site organization. Also smart script just released update which makes url to look like this: http://www.bla.com/gallery/description.html?id=116999&url=bla.com&p= 50 IS that now enough seo friendly?
i completely agree with you , i really don't get the logic how this works, if you do some seo 3 days before the new pr update , and get good backlinks , you get a high pr, a high pr that you can easily lose the following month , and ic case you prefer to work with other making money programs that google adsence , you're banned , i have the feeling that if google continues like that , no one will care any more about it
what methods did you use? Was it penalized for just one search term or many? I think i might have one on my hands...
Got recovered. The reason is most important - but finding it is not so easy thing to do. When you will change what you have done 'wrong' your penalty will end in a day or two even. But the things that are going on recently with Google are very very weird. Something be is going to happen or just happened.
To recover from a google penalty, you need to know what went wrong in the first place. An initial thing you can do is cross check everything you've done on your website against google webmaster guidelines. If things are not aligned then you will have to set things straight.
ys u can recover from google penalty by sending google reinclusion request via google webmaster tool and u can build quality links
So that means in case if i dont submit reinclusion request i will never get back? Also please someone tell me is this link enough seo friendly: bla.com/gallery/description.html?id=116999&url=bla.com&p=%2050
here is the problem , the reason why " i think i got penalised " and the reason why my pr dropped from 2 to 0 is that instead of using google adscence that gives me 2 dollar per month , i use a website that appears to not be so friendly with google, and gives me 200$ per month so chose for the PR or the $ i'll have to take a decision
I got a -20 penalty (pretty sure, cause i dropped by 20 for all my rankings, some of them were #1). My site stopped getting traffic (pr3 front pr2 internal at that point). I completely stopped working on that domain, and concentrated on others. Now, 4 months later, I all of a sudden see traffic again, as my rankings went back to 1st.
Sure, get rid of the violating stuff and submit a reconsideration request then your website will be just fine
