I have a website called SEOWebsiteCMS.com which is the homepage for a CMS software that we wrote. The thing is that we have tons of website running it and the link is located on to footer of all pages using the cms. This type of links are considered low quality and should not pass almost any PR. In my case all links have been devalued and most probably the website has been punished with some PR ban or something because my SERPS are not affected and I still rank N:3 on SEO CMS and few other ones that I've targeted.... Does anyone know how I can get the PR to show again? Thanks, Venetsian.
Well that disables a number of pages on our site, and every page adds something to the site in regards to seo ranking .. so it certainly doesn't help.
That's true but not my primary concern. I need to know if someone know anything about removing such penalties and where exactly the penalty comes from. As I've said above there is no SERP penalty just the PR button is not showing any value when the last recorded PR was PR4 and has popularity of over 15k where it should be strong pr4 at the moment .... Does anyone know some google email or something like that where I can get more info from them ?? Venetsian.
It has to be something else. Google isnt going to penalize your site in anyway for other people linking to you. If that were the case, it would be simple to sabotage a competitors' site by signing them up for link farms, bad neighborhoods, etc. ~~~~~ Perhaps one of your outbound link targets got banned... so you are being penalized for linking out to a bad site?
-- Not really because I don't link to bad sites. On this website I have links to my company, SEO News Blog and WikiPedia which are relatively high quality sites. There are no other outgoing links so this theory is not supported by any evidence. The PR drop happened before the last PR update (2 weeks before) and was rather strange since I consider this website quite good quality. Venetsian.
May be worth a try if you think its because of low quality links, may not, just an idea. Next time you update the program, make it do the index page a normal link, all others rel nofollow. You could always revert the next update. That said, all the backlinks have never done drupal any harm {extra added on edit.} I looked at the home page in your profile it says date: 2008-01-25 what changes were made that may have an effect? also http://www.seowebsitecms.com/ has could that fact that google has no cache be a small part of the problem in some way ? probably not but you may well know better. Also as already stated, the link from the home page to "directory" does not work so to google could look like a broken site.
Look at it this way: Your site was considered to be a good site in terms of google. However, when your directory disappeared and everything else died (link juices etc) google saw your site as a dead site to which pr doesn't matter. Of course, no one can pin point the reason but its a possibility.
