Background: 2 of sites were hardly hit by series of penguin update.With each update the rankings went down.Each site had only 2 pages. Things what i did after the penguin I tried adding lot of content to the site Build contextual links Buy Homepage links PAD Submit But none of them worked, rankings were down as hell. So then i read about 301 redirect to new domain in the forum.But from the posts it seemed that penalty was passing down the new domain in 1-2 weeks. So what i did: Bought a new domain and setup the content. Created a web2.0 with 600 words content.And used 1 naked url and long tail keyword as anchor pointing to the new site. Then redirected my old domain to the web2.0 And then i did few bookmarks to the new site.Its been 3 weeks and both the site are in top 10(9 and 7 precisely).So i had 70% recovery in rankings. Criteria for selecting web2.0 The page that is created on web2.0 should have low OBL and IBL.You want max juice to pass to your main site. Go for web builder type of site rather then wordpress/hubpages/squidoo etc And don't use the direct anchor otherwise the web2.0 would start ranking.
hi shalani, hope you achieved some positive result..., but i'm lil confused about naked url and criteria you have selected.. could you please elaborate it lil more? thanks in advance.
Make sure to add content every day, a two page site will be especially prone to any Google algorithm changes
