Hello, Myself Sunil Nair webmaster for http://www.halloweencostumesale.com . Our website was ranking well till april 2012. And all the keywords were in first or second page. But all of a sudden all our ranking gone and our keywords were not showing in 100 results. And now it’s not at all showing. We are following all ethical methods of seo promotion on our website. We are following google TOC also. But I am confused where we are going wrong. Please help if anyone have any idea on the same to retrieve my rankings Thanks, Sunil Nair
May be it's due to Google's Panda and Penguin updates, what about your site content are they unique or duplicated ? I found this word phrase from your website looks like this is duplicate content, If they are duplicate then this might happen. Try to gain your rankings again with unique content.
maybe something wrong with our meta setting, like keyword or description, if your domain is a new domain do not give it too much backlink especially from unrelated sites
To my best of knowledge all the contents are unique. Is there way that i come to know where i am going wrong as the website keywords are not ranking in google.
Meta description and keywords are fine. The domain is 5 years old. please let me know how to retain my ranking
Your site is showing PR2 and almost 2.5 millions indexed pages, so maybe you should try building a few more backlinks. It's difficult to make any sort of sensible suggestion without knowing your keywords.
Yes we are in process of building back links to our website. The keywords which we are targeting are as follows adult costumes angel wings baby costumes cheap costumes child costume costume accessories dance costume disney costume fairy costume fairy wings funny costumes girl costumes Halloween Costumes halloween masks indian costume infant costume kids costumes party costumes pirate costume plus size costume poodle skirt princess costume santa costume scary costumes sexy costume Spiderman costume teen costumes toddler costume toga costume witch costume Please suggest us how to rank these keywords. As these keywords were ranking till April 2012.
Since the Google's Panda and Penguin update SEO changed. Rankings dropped for a lot of us and there was no explanation for that at all. I tried a lot different ways of link building. What really helped for us was building brand links. Brand links are nothing more than just links with your whole website name as an anchor. "The top anchor text of a site must consist of the brand name or website URL." An ex-Google employee recently stated on SMX Australia that a site has an increased risk of penalties if this is not the case. What I can do for you is have a look at your website and check the sort of backlinks. I can offer you a custom brand link package. PM me if you are interested.
Do you have google webmaster account ? It might be a problem with your backlinks, after these new updates, google punishes websites for bad links, I mean link changing websites, spam links. One of their update: "In a repeat of March/April, Google sent out a large number of unnatural link warnings via Google Webmaster Tools. In a complete turn-around, they then announced that these new warnings may not actually represent a serious problem." You can check out updates here: http://www.seomoz.org/google-algorithm-change
I think your website was effected by Google penguin update. so just check Google webmaster and your back links. and try to remove unnatural links
I agree with everyone else's opinions. My best bet is that it has been hit by Google's Penguin update. Look at Webmaster Tools and see if you got a message from Google regarding practices they may find unethical. Or just manually look at your organic search. If the dropped occurred on the 24th of April, most likely that is a Penguin hit.
Definitely its the issue of the penguin update,your website is effected by the same. Kindly go through the panda and penguin updates in detail to know the issues that your website has and rectify for better rankings.
you need to check your webmaster's tool for google's warning messages and you need to fix them accordingly.
I am sure that your website hit by penguin update of google. First you can check your webmaster account is there is any critical issue massage from google or not. Then try to focus on your website on page optimization. After penguin or panda updates google now focusing on brand name so keep this thing in mind while you doing promotion of your website give main focus to your brand name along with keyword and don't do over optimization or don't create too much backlinks it will give harm to your site and google will take your website as a spam. Rest of all you can read google TOC after updates and Focusing to do promotion with your brand name. Simply follow formula of professional seo which as follows Professional SEO = Branding---> Marketing ----> Content -----> Keywords Good luck for future and i hope you will get back your website ranking asap. Have Fun
Yes we received a message from google about unnatural links warning. We don't have any idea how can google penalize us as we never indulge in any link farm or unnatural link building. We were doing following to promote our website for example: Article submission, social bookmarking, social media, directory submission etc. And if some spammy website links to our website, then how this is our fault. Therefor we made an investigation in google webmaster tool to find the reason. And we removed some links which was linked by some website after sending them the request to removal. We then sent a reconsideration to google. This reconsideration request we sent was around 2 months back with proof of removal of links. But still our website and keywords are not ranked in google. I am totally confused where i am going wrong. After all my efforts my website is not ranking. Please please help me
We checked google webamster tool for google warning message and fixed the issue and sent for reconsideration before 2 months. But still the website is not ranking in google. I beg you to kindly help to solve this issue.
Yes checked entire website content. The content has no problem is all contents are unique. Kindly suggest me if any other issue is there apart from this.
