Hello friends, One of my client's wordpress image hosting website got deindexed from google google didnt gave any reason or manual action on google webmasters website was using popup and banner ad
I got your PM. It has been removed from the index; I did the usual checks (noindex; robots.txt etc) and see no reason. If Google manually removed you, then they would list the reason under manual penalties (which you say they have not) - though there may be a slight delay to have it listed. Check in the webmaster console under removal requests. Has someone requested removal?
yes i see some requests.. most of it are wp upload .jpg image requests which have been removed and 1 page request which have been denied total 7 img remove request and 1 page remove request
Apart from that there is no obvious reason for the deindexing. Long shot - check with host to see if they blocking googlebot? If shared hosting, check to see other sites hosted there deindexed??
You u mean 7 removal request resulted my site got penalized ? the removal request happned in dec 15 .. and it took so long to ban ? website is hosted on vps.. i dont think they blocked google bot but still asked them.. waiting for reply
No!! Sometimes the requests are faulty and are for the whole site and sometimes WMT gets hacked by a competitor to remove sites ... but not this time.
Then I at a total loss ... no idea; all the reasons for not being indexed have been ruled out. All you can do is keep checking the WMT console for a manual penalty (as they are sometime delayed a bit)
hello, I just checked google webmaster and i do see manual action of cloaking and sneaky redirect ? if thats the case i am at total loss .. because i guess popads is the issue here last time the site got banned it was juicy ads mobile code.. i removed it and they lifted ban if i remove popads i can not run the website
At least got to the bottom of it now; all you can do is do what you did; double check for any redirects and sumbit the reconsideration.
google must think the popup is misleading to visitors, and they normally are... not sure why anyone would even use them, not smart marketing if you ask me... I am mislead all the time, then boom, one popup after another, then I close one after the other.... find a better niche, put some real content on the site, and promote on the pages... (not via sneaky popups or iframes....)
well .. many people on this forum make a living using popup ads and matt cutts himself said popup is acceptable in google http://www.shoutmeloud.com/pop-under-advertising-good-bad-or-ugly.html and read here in google forum.. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/adsense/qzIS6Lz9fc8 google allows 3 popups per website .. and in my case just used one so if popup was illegal why would people ask there ?
I never said they were illegal, however, google has implied that there is some type of sneaky operation going on with the script.... not your fault, obviously the sneaky company you got it from.... There are plenty of methods you can use for advertising without annoying popups, and I think it makes for more negative experience then positive one....
