If anyone can help me out I will make it financially beneficial to you! I have been a member here for many years but I am still unsure who is really technical and knows what they are doing. If you do please can you see if you have the time to help me. I have multiple sites, the main one being www.JustGoodCars.com currently gets about 1 Million uniques a month. I also have 1200 niche sites, back in Feb these sites got what I call a 50 point penalty In google results. They have lots of unique content and share lots of content as well. Overall they are used frequently because www.Justgoodcars.com sends traffic to them when users search for cars. All links each way are nofollow. If you do a search for "just911cars" I am in 50th place (www.Just911Cars.com) but if you search for "just911cars.com" I am in first. The site is a PR4 and has not been banned. Now Google recently talked about "cross site canonical" I wonder if I need to implement that on my sites to tell google the niche sites are more relevant in some cases? People on the Google forums are mostly idiots and useless. Matt Cutts never replies to anything and I dont see any problem with what I am doing. I beg you, help me sort this issue out. If anyone can do so I will make it worth your while financially. Many thanks Gary
The problem must be lying in the anchor text of your inbound links, also can be, that the websites linking to yours may have nofollow in ther rel tags. Do you want me to analyze your website
nivedita011, this has nothing to do with the problem, infact Just911cars.com used to rank #1 for used porsche 911 Its some kind of duplication filter or something
I just checked Just911Cars.com on seopenalty.com and it shows you have very high penalty score. There could be many reason why your site is being penalized. My assumption here is excessive link exchanges between your sites. Things can get worse if your site is hosted in same IP. Exchanging links between blogs under same IP can be limited to 5. If you have thousands of sites from same IP pointing on site, it is clearly a bad technique. Remove all link exchanges done internally or externally with other website or blogs. Check for any copyspace issue and remove duplicate contents from your site. Check links that your site is pointing to, and if you can find any questionable links to bad neighborhood site, remove it. If you have any paid post with dofollow link in it, mark these links with rel="nofollow" tag. Check for your blog coding and if you could find any error or virus (run antivirus/malware protection tool). Next, submit it to Google re-consider and wait till they lift the penalty from your site.
Hi atniz, Only links to other internal sites are all nofollow. Lots of duplicte content, also lots of unique, but this cannot be the source of a penalty such as this. NO links to bad neighborhood site No errors or viruses
Yeah the problem is where are these sites hosted, IP hosting, different companies ect ect... Also if your linking each site accross the network... Back 5 years ago when I started running website networks things were very different, today the algo is soo adanced you have to be ahead of it... I also run a decent sized network of around 100 sites all different niches...100 is crazy enough and I have content writers and what not, but 1200 how many peopel do you have working for you how often do you update, is this auto update blogging ect ect... I have faced similar problems with sites hitting with penaltys...Pr bans ect ect...This is why I am all ways trying new things... I wouldnt really like to post up what I do but I have been able to work around this...Maby PM me...
Pm me and I will give you a URL where, if you do as I ask, we should be able to have you back on page 1 within a week (two at the most) for that search term. Though saying that, it's not exactly a difficult search term and tbh I don't really see why you would be worried about it as who excatly is searching for "just911cars" other than you Gary? Gary I see you are located in London Yes? OK pick a London Borough and pair it with the acronym SEO - So like "Kensington SE0" (Change 0 for o) and click the first link you find - you will find a Lincoln 01522 tel number and not an 0207 or 0208 telephone number and one of my sites. If you click the Contact Us link you will find somewhere you can PM a character called MrFlicks (That's me!)
too answer you both. we have many guest bloggers that help create content for much of the site and many data feeds from multiple sources to create content in main seach areas. No interlinking (except just one nofollow) on the subject of hosting, all the in the same place, not trying to fool Google, I know what I am doing is legit and I dont see why I would not be able to do it. With regards to wanting to rank for "just911cars" we used to rank 1st for "used porsche 911" but because we dont even rank for our company name anymore I just want to get that sorted first then I can start to rebuild what we once had. Make sense?
eeks my search terms "as expected" are moving around (was in the top 3 for kensington SE0 last time I looked so), try Googling "Knightsbridge SE0" or "Chelsea SE0" (changing 0 for o) and I am sure you will find me as I am equally sure I can help. Yep makes sense Gary, can sort that "your domain name" search term thing within a few days or a week at most as long as you have not done anything too silly! Pop over to the forum mentioned as the last word in my sig or click the first link for a search on Google for "Knightsbridge SE0" (change 0 for o - I can't directly post my search terms here LOL!) and if you click my contact links you will soon find a way to contact me. The penultimate word in my sig is the username to PM if you don't use the contact form on my forum.
Your site is WAAAAAAAAAAY overoptimized... ESPECIALLY the home page. You've likely triggered an overoptimization penalty. The only real content on the page is spammy. Do you "really" think the following sounds natural: i mean how many times can you say Porsche 911 in the same sentence? This text on your home page is a great example of keyword stuffing. I would rewrite this so that it sounds like something you'd say to your mother, not some search engine that you're trying to rank in for "Porsche 911" and "Just Porsche 911 cars". The 3 review titles at the end of the page: and their corresponding excerpts and read more lines look totally spammy as well. My guess is someone reported your site, a Googler manually reviewed it, and that Googler felt you were attempting to manipulate the SERPs w/ your spamming of keywords and penalized your home page for keyword phrases "Porsche 911" and "Just Porsche 911 cars". I would highly suggest you write some real content to replace all of the aforementioned spammy content where the keyword density for "Porsche" and "911" and "Porche 911" is more like 2-3% instead of having these appear 1 or more time in every sentence of the page. Once you've eliminated the spam, submit a reconsideration request with Google and wait. Hopefully your followed backlinks use lots of variations of link text so that they appear much more natural than the content on the page appears. If not I'd recommend building additional followed backlinks w/ lots of different link text.
