Google penalty

hi guys

recently i have no traffic to my website from google, i suspect that i have penalize by google, but i'm not sure due to what reason.

however, when i check site:mydomain.com with google, my site appears, but when i just search 'mydomain' my website did't appear. I still not sure why i'm being penalize.

i recently upgrade my wordpress to 3.1 and change my SEO Plugins...it might have duplicate post?could this be the reason i'm being penalize?

When i search the exact header of my post, it appears in google, but when i search a few keywords of my post, it doesn't....

i hope some SEO expert could tell me what happen..

thanks alot

 

There is a google panda update some days back.

you might be the victim, you researched about that?

 

as long as your site is still index its fine.. just observe it and continue building links to get backlinks..

 

i did a search and my page rank was ZERO...i think something is wrong..any suggestions?

 

try removing duplicate content and re submitting your site to google webmaster

 

1. Make your site available.
2. Provide unique and relevant content.
3. Don't use spam methods to promote your website.
4. Carefully build links.
5. Make your site crawlable.
6. Avoid using domains with bad history.
7. Do not use unauthorized software to check web ranking.
8. Use Google API.
9. Limit the amount of searches.
10. Use Google for its main purpose.

 

reduce your links from copy paste articles sites or articles .. because due to this your site get penalty which effect in ranking which effect your traffic also.

 

thanks for ur help....fyi... my web contents are from those merchandise description{CJ} and i do recommendation for them....and i realize i do not have viewers once i update my wordpress to 3.1... i'm totally lost right now..i duno what to do

 

You should remove all duplicate content from your website pages and get links from other trusted domains in your niche for better keyword rankings

 

yes all about google panda update,no longer autoblog.

 

ya that's true and avoid duplicate contents...

 

Is your PR 0 or N/A?

 

i did a search and my PR is ZERO...according to google web master i got a lot of duplicate meta descriptions...it could due to the SEO i installed...

 

@rence33 - How old is ur website ??

 

3 months old....but when i did a 'domain name' search during the 1st month...i was rank 3...but now its doest'n even appear at all.....when i add a .com.....'domainname.com' it appears ..

 

is it possible to have pr 3 in the first month? After 8 months i'm still stuck in zero pr.

 

PR updated are done on yearly bases or six month bases. So keep a eye on PR update and then you will notice change if applicable in your site

 

are you from US?

panda update is only for US searches mate

 

as long as your site is still index its fine

 

I will assume that you were actually getting traffic from Google, and that suddenly, that traffic dropped. The wordpress version upgrade has nothing to do. However, you mentioned having changed the SEO plugins......I suggest you go back to the one you were using before, and apply the same configuration.

Were you engaged in some non-advisable link strategy?. Link exchange, getting thousands of automated links and stuff like that?.
