I am doing SEO for a client whose website had been penalized by yahoo. The earlier seo guy had created loads of duplicate content. Its been 4 months since, website has been cleaned up and its ranking is fantastic on google & bing.. but yahoo!! NiL!! what should i do? and what when Yahoo & Bings new search technology comes on board. how will it affect the bing rankings then? Any suggestions, tips would really be helpful. the site is drmalpani.com
You really have to digg out what black hat techniques the company used early for which they had penalized try to eliminate them. Contacting to yahoo and google team can reveal the reason. Hoping that would have answered your query.
oh lord.. this client has 2 sites, and both the websites had common content. god alone knows what that seo company did. its been 4 -5 months now. my patience is wearing thin now. how to contact Yahoo? Never done it before. Thnx guys!!
Try placing a few ads through Yahoo for the site. This causes them to crawl your site and favor you a little better.
I think you have to contact Yahoo explaining what it was that was done wrong with the site, say that its fixed and explain how it can never happen again.
only stuck on basic SEO technique completely avoid Black hat and send a mail on yahoo....he will help you out.
Trying to get penalized websites back on the track could sometimes be even more difficult than launching new websites. Try reversing everything back to the normal mode like deleting the unwanted pages as well as spam links.
