I checked my site on seopenalty.com and they say my site has a Slight penalty. Not sure what could be the reason.. - I have the keyword 'gadgets' added at the footer links which will cause keyword stuffing? - There was down time due to server issues.. does it really matter? - have lots of Outbound links to my advertiser's site. However all links have 'nofollow' added. - I used to ping my site.. which could be an issue for using google resource?? I am looking for an expert advice.. Please help me with your valued advice. my site: http://www.coolgadgets4u.com (same can be found on my signature)
Does your traffic or pagerank was affected too? I think your site just lacking in good link building..
This can be most probable reason - I have the keyword 'gadgets' added at the footer links which will cause keyword stuffing? - I used to ping my site.. which could be an issue for using google resource?? Other two won't affect..
Your site has been reported as "Penalty" but that is not a kind of penalty really. Sandbox effect is in place - a more correct describe for your site current situation. 1. Your site has only 2 links popularity in Google. Beside this, all 2 links are come from your signature link here. 2. Your site has only 6 months 26 days old. Still considered as a new site. Keep on link building and you should come over this period.
