hey shyboy ... i don't use MSN i use Yahoo Messenger ! get an account and we'll talk Oh ... man if my site will be de-penalized for that request reconsideration I will stay drunk a whole day
my site was penalized for doing link exchange (if only i've readed that before in octomber 2007 when this had begun) and canonicalization I think.Well I've done a 301 redirect for my canonicalization issue, which may not be important, but I think and I've readed about the link exchange penalty. Try this : http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=link+exchange+penalty so God help us ! Amen
anybody that has (had) a problem like a mine did notice any changes ? Mine is still down there on page 4-5-6
I'm far from being an expert in the field, so please take my advice with a grain a salt. From my experience, lack of updates and fresh content can lead to drops in SERP's. Also the longer a link has been up, the lower its value. There might be indeed a penalty, but I favor Occam's razor. If there is a simpler explanation, than the simpler one is probably true. Hope this helps. Regards, George
well ... I logged in today on my Webmaster Central account and seen that my site was successfully indexed in 14th Februrary Well I think I'm on the good road ! Any other answers from shyboy ?
Hi I am very interested in the discussion. Two weeks ago our site got dropped as well. It was in top ten or better and is now anywhere from 140 to 940!!! for our top ten terms. We have a lovely site that has been well received. We have over 15,000 links so its a bit hard to search them all but have come acrossone nasty link (that we sure do not want) - its pure spam and looks like some negative seo ie done on purpose to give our site a bad link But I have no idea what to do. Anyone know how to discuss these things with google? I have heard of people getting their site checked by people at Google but have not been able to track down any contact details. Any help appreciated
No News from me. Yesterday(16th Feb) webmaster tools got updated with a new Indexed date of 13th Feb. (3 days behind). Cahche still shows the link pages which i removed 4 days ago. I also found a proxy site which, if you copy/paste chunk of my front page text into google, showed up instead of mine. This seems to have now gone ( a few days ago). So, assuming it was either the link pages, the proxy site (duplicate penalty?) than it is now fixed so hopefully we will see some results. I sponsor themes so i really hope that is not the problem. I honestly never even dreamed that that is somehow against Google's T&C. Keep me updated matey.
Hey ! I think you have the "950 penalty" from Google Check this http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=950+penalty This really suck man !
Mine cache is still having the "resources" section ! My content was scrapped by black hat bots ... and I can't doing anything ! Anyway this thing with the scrapping I think is not the reason I've got the penalty ! My original content is up from 1 year and 2 months and updated monthly ! I'm sure the mistake here is the Link Exchange thing ! OFFTOPIC : Well I must to go to sleep now, because tomorrow morning I have an exam on ORACLE ... ohh ... one family guy episode and then to sleep PS : Don't worry. It will soon pass, whatever it is.Don't worry, be happy. Hope these lyrics are for us
Nothing here. Proxy site was removed from the index but still nothing for my site. I think we might be in for the long haul matey. Can’t tell you how distressing this is for us.
One day my site which was on 4th page against a keyword disappeared at once. After a week or so it came back with good position on 2nd page.

hi, i think you have to start coninuous work on one way link. This is the best way to get back on track.
