My website www.ledlightmaker.com got a good ranking last month. Then one day,i searched and bought directories submission service, searched SEO service. The next day, my ranking drop dramatically. Basically before that day, my visitors from google has 45-70. After that, the visitors go down to ZERO. Can anybody tell me why and how to get away from this punishment? Thanks
Yes you must pray. Then try moderate backlink submission. Dont drop the backlinks .If you do that google think your guilty
it isn't related to your directory submissions the submissions (even if all were approved the same day you submitted) wouldn't be cached in one day just a coincidence that your rankings dropped the next day, that's all
i am not sure if your site has been listed on some web directories that Google has banned. it's dangerous if you don't know where your site has been submitted to...
I agree you I bought directory submission service before. I mean is it possible that google know me doing submission service now? I didnt bought any other service besides submission
WRONG WRONG WRONG Google will never punish you for links to your site. Why not? Because G knows that your competition will place your site to as many bad neighborhoods as they can to take your site down and instead G. just ignores bad links to your site all together. fastreplies
That's the best reply on this thread. You don't need to worry at all and continue adopting good methods for link building.
Thank you for stating what should be very obvious, I was just ranting about this myself in another post 3 minutes ago.
I went to give you green rep for that post, but it looks like you were the last one I gave it to, so it wont let me If you're going to purchase directory submission, make sure you get to know what directories you're being submitted to before you pay, or at least some sort of assurance of the quality of directories (PR is not assurance). The reason is not that G. will penalise you, it's that if half the list are spam directories [link farms] you will be wasting your money. @ akara, if you're trying to rank your homepage I would try putting a bit more unique content on it if I were you. There's lots of lovely pictures, but that wont do you much good as when it comes to search engines pictures don't say 1000 words. There's not one full sentence on the homepage.
i've actually learn thru this thread. i dont actually buy directory submission services as i'd like to get backlinks for free. i'd rather comment to dofollow blogs, blog directories and yahoo answers than paying those services which i'm not sure.
Well I really don't think that Google punish you for the directory submission. Directory submission looks natural to me. For example, if you submit to 100 directories...obviously it won't get published within a day...few directories takes a lot of time to index them...it might be like 10 directories will approved in a single day....sometimes 5, sometimes 15...so this is not a exact number...
Just wait for a week, my site ever had same problem ( I do not do anything), sudently disapear from google for a week.
Just submit your competitors site to a bunch of directories. Don't take the noobish advice to apply for reconsideration as all it will do is bring a Google webspam employee to your site looking for reasons to bitch slap you forever. You may want to pray as others have noted, but do so for world peace and an end to hunger. What you are experiencing with your site is called Google Constipation. Once Google fully digests the new links you have your ranks will return to be even better. To avoid the Google Constipation effect you may want to try a high quality enema. A very high quality link will get things quickly unclogged and flowing again.
