I just realized today some of my websites are disappeared from the search engine ranking after searching i heard this news there is a new algorithm which hit the penalties against the over seo and bad seo techniques marketing tactics . Just want to know how many of you effected and how to recover from it ?
This is a new algorithm Google did Penguin update last week from 17 to 24 apr and affected thousands of websites overnight.
Didn't affect any of mine... @hearme - What kind of sites do you have and which linkbuilding strategies have you used?
Until now I am lucky, not any of my sites was affected - I hope they won't be affected nether in the future!
Good and well wishing to know about your website is not affected by this current Google penguin. What strategies do you use for your site's promotion?
I promote my sites only with PPC advertising at this moment, and with forum signatures sometimes; I don't have too much visits, but the PR3 site didn't decreased in ranking (the other one is PR0 ).
Great, but PPC is a paid service, its good for one domain. I have more than 4 projects and I am affected by current Google penguin update. Did you never try to gathering organic traffic? I preferring to do organic link building.
No replacement is there. Google Penguin Update has released on 24th April'2012 & Google Panda 3.5 Update has released on April 19th. Unlike Penguin, which is meant to target spam, Panda is designed to target pages that aren’t spam but aren’t great quality.
Yes, I am also building links, but not constantly and not too much - I do it when I have time for this. Yesterday I was affected too by the Google penguin, but in a good way: my PR0 site got PR2 for the homepage, and with 50% of other pages PR2 and 50% PR1; and the PR3 site is still PR3 at the homepage, but the other PR0 pages got PR2 and PR1 So now I have a PR3 and a PR2 site, and all my pages in both sites are PR2 and PR1, I don't have any PR0 page anymore, youpiii!!!
there is a SEO company in UK which has lost rankings for their more than 16 sites. They have faced too big lose of penguine alogrithm. Company owner has locked himself in his room and not replying to anyone. He felt biggest lost in his business. Is this update worth ?
I provide a private seo service and so far none of my sites got hit by the recent Penguin update. Shoot me a pm and I`ll show you what I provide. Note: My seo service isn't those "normal" seo service that provides crappy social bookmarks, article directories, directories, forum profiles or blog comments. <- Main reason why so many sites got hit.
in the end the ultimate goal of google all artificial seo should has no effect, that's the ideal. All sites should naturally based on its usefullness of its content
Good to know about your PR status Congrats for this. But I'm still suffering from this problems. I really appreciate with your idea to build links strategy. Did you really only work for traffic ratio? or you are also do some efforts for Key Word position on Google index??
Yes, I also take care about my keywords - but I didn't have time for working on my sites from about 2 month, so I didn't modified any keyword or any content on my sites from about 2 month. So with my sites new PR maybe I was just a little lucky
