I don't think the penalty has been applied for those back links that has been added almost one year back. It can be due to some paid Blogging. Are you participating in some kind of Blogging?
Well, Google has frequently changed in that algorithm which called as Google Panda. So, there is required to change in website also as per the Panda update. I also prefer to change the resource of quality back links also which helps to boost up your ranking of your website.
I think you need to get some quality links to prop up your site. If you can get some related links you might get back your traffic and rankings.
you've got your answer right there buddy! think twice in the future before you go that way again! I would file a complaint to google and keep on building quality articles/content and manual backlinks with lots of diversity anchor texts. For example: Names!
Filing a complaint to Google is going to get him nowhere! He needs to work on diversifying his IB link portfolio. Overall, the site looks great BUT!!! Why are your privacy policy and TOS, totally blank? What's worse is, you have them in your top navigational menu. Take care of those two areas and you will be fine.
There only you have done the mistake by purchasing forum links, I never buy anything who does automatic..I always like manual service..I will pay him more but they need to manual.. Contact Google via webmaster and tell them the story what you have done.. they will understand.. probably it might take months but it will fine..I am telling from my experience..
Of course, your website can recover from the google panda update by standardizing your website's content. I would suggest you to check Google webmaster quality guidelines.
tHAT will be your big mistake. When you will get the 10k links in one day or 7 days ,obviously your rank goes down.Google will take the website as spam. As i already explain some where, move from the black hat to white hat ,google doesn't respect you. Where you have already try the black hat. You can not blame to google .The mistake is done by you. Most of the webmaster wants at low cost which is not possible in white hat. Backlinks get from the spam websites which will decrease your rank. The problem ,all want at cheap cost. And afterwards such kind of website onwers will say , my website rank goes down etc...........At this time try to remove the backlinks from spam websites.It takes time .
@ humtuma - if this is true, you can "kill" any site of your competitor almost instantly ..............
Yes, its true. You can ask the any professional seo.I have already done a lot of test ,still doing and get the some knowledge form google. Yes , you are right. Organic keywords also, always help but it is some much difficult to make.
I think it is google dance you will get again big traffic after 1-2 week becouse i got this 1 year ago i had a site which site getting daily 200 then site got 30-40 UV but 1 month later site got 600-700 UV....
The new panda update says that Better COntent, Better Interlinking woould help your website to be on the top of Google Search Engine page...
you basically have two courses of action: 1. Work on building legitimate backlinks to balance out the spammy ones. Through guest blogging, etc. But this takes a lot of time and effort. 2. Start over on a new domain. Don't 301 redirect to the new site as you might risk transferring the penalty. Delete everything off of the old site and move that content to a new domain. 301 all of the pages from the old site to a page saying that you've moved with a nofollowed link to the new domain. Basically start fresh with good content and no backlinks. You might now be where you were before, but you will be better than you are now. I would choose this.
