The reason you were de-ranked was because you are not a corporation or hollywood. That's who google likes nowadays.
It took about a year but I've finally cracked and added this drivel-spouting clown to my ignore list. OP, review your content and honestly assess the quality and uniqueness. Afterwards, take a look at your link profile for any "bad links". Remember one of the main focus points of Google Penguin is to target over optimized sites, especially those that aggressively generate links with very little diversity in anchor texts. WebDev
ohh, Then i guess that might be the case... Thanx 1 More Question... IF I submit directories using same description... would it also be considered as a spammy link ?
Nopes, I never got any mail message from Google, Not even a notification in the Webmaster Tool.. All pages are indexed, but very back in rankings now
i totally agree with you... Never just says this has happened, but never reveals what is actually going On !
If I was ignored then you wouldn't be quoting me because it would show as ignored. Admit it, your world would be empty without me and while you tried to ignore me, you always seem to click the show message. Now back on topic: Ok, let's talk about this then. Let's us my site for example. A topic that provides information on a certain educational topic. It was ranked between 3rd and 6th for the main keyword. It obtained over 80K visitors per month Your content argument: There is more content then all sites in the world except for 4 others on my site. My site is also top 3 for most relevant and current info regarding the niche as well. The hundreds of pages are all unique articles. In the past school divisions, museums, Fox TV shows have credited the site. But it was ranked to 16th page for the main keyword after the penguin update. 99% of the sites higher ranked have not been updated in ages, are only a 500word article in some corporation innerpage, etc. Please explain why I'm crazy. It happened. Bad Links: Complete crap. All of the sites ranked high are so popular I'm sure they have thousands of poor quality backlinks but still these corporations still are up top. Also since my site is so huge I have no control over who backlinks my site. Tons of people talk about it somewhere else. Are we all suppose to go site to site and hope their is a working email to tell the guy to take the link down and hope they they do. What's the point. Corporations are not doing that but still obtain high ranking. Google Penguin is to target over optimized sites, especially those that aggressively generate links with very little diversity in anchor texts: I guess wikipedia was given a get out of jail free card because they have not moved. Regardless of how inaccurate, un-updated, or crappy their content is they still are first everywhere for every keyword. Let's agree that google chose a dividing line where to limit their penguin. If you can't agree try to find a corporation that lost its rankings because it doesn't exist. All corporations and hollywood were ranked higher or didn't change regardless of their quality or over-optimization. Google is so stupid I wish I could crush gates' head in a vise.
Googles Panda and Penguin updates are just a reminder on google guidelines. because many seo/sem are abusing and over optimizing a website. if your oh page campaign is good from the start and your off page is not abused and have quality links. then you don't have to worry much about it. maybe one reason why your website is affected its because the website you are linking to are down or degraded.
Panda 3.7 Google rolled out yet another Panda data update, claiming that less than 1% of queries were affect. Ranking fluctuation data suggested that the impact was substantially higher than previous Panda updates and I spotted a new Google webmaster help thread that has a webmaster who claims to have been hit by panda 3.6.
