Have you had 3 to 5 Google penalties lifted?
-
I've tried three times and have been unsuccessful.
Is there any specific strategy or technique that has worked for you?
Anyways, I'd like to speak with you if you have successfully had 3 to 5 penalties lifted. So please reach out to me.
Thanks
Dominic

What the site under a "manual" penalty?
-
I have had link related penalties and poor content penalties removed, or at least the keywords ranked well after we corrected the issues
I never revived an email from Google saying the penalty was lifted, but as I say the result was what the client wanted.
If this is what you would like to discuss I am happy to help

Hi Dominic...have a look at your p.m.'s. I sent you a message a couple of days ago. I've been able to lift unnatural links penalties for a good number of sites now. I didn't ask if yours was actually a manual penalty (i.e. did you get a warning in WMT). If it's an algorithmic issue like Penguin then this could be another story.
In case you can't read your p.m.'s for some reason you can reach me at marie@hiswebmarketing.com

Hi Dominic
Do you know what penalties you were affected by?
What dates did you see the effects?
What messages have you received in Webmaster tools?
There are different responses to different penalties and knowing what you have been penalized for is the first step towards recovery.
Probably not the answer you hoped to hear but it should be the first step you take.

Hi Dominic. I have found that by far the most common reason for sites to fail at getting a manual linking penalty removed is that not enough links have been selected for needing removal. Other reasons include not doing enough work to show Google that you have tried to get links removed. (It is not enough to just disavow links). And some reconsideration requests fail because the disavow tool was not used properly.
I'll send you a p.m. and we can see if I can help you.

Why have I lost 1/3 of my backlinks (about 5,000) in 3 months?
In August, my client's site (I work at a marketing agency) had about 15,000 backlinks. Now they suddenly have about 10,000 backlinks. And their Domain Authority has dropped from 48 to 40! Can someone please help me understand what could've happened? At first I assumed this had something to do with the latest Penguin update, since I knew my client's site had some extremely spammy backlinks they hadn't cleaned up yet. (The site was hacked at some point and hidden pages were created as part of some kind of link-building scheme, and there were lots of links from sketchy sites to those pages. The hidden pages have been taken down and the URLs now redirect to my client's home page.) But that would only explain a sudden drop in Domain Authority, right? How could Penguin suddenly cause my client to lose 5,000 backlinks? And if it's not Penguin, what could it be? Thanks in advance for any insight that anyone can share!

Google indexing nofollow links
Hi Guys I have yellowpages.com.au appearing in the link profiles for some of my clients, but not in others (even if clients without the link in their profile have had an actual link on yellowpages.com.au longer than some who do have it in their profile). My understanding is that Google MAY eventually index a nofollow link... My question is what would cause Google to actually index it?

Anyone seeing a big drop in links showing in Google webmaster tools?
Over the last week I have seen a big drop in links to us showing in Google Webmaster tools. The links are still there on sites that rank well including some from National newspapers. However the link count has dropped from over 4000 to less than 40 on approx 5-6 sites. Ranks etc are staying the same its just a bit of a strange thing as they still show in Majestic and Open site explorer.

Is there a cost per acuqistion figure I can quote that if I hire an agency to link build that we can guarantee a level of increased traffic from Google?
I am looking to justify to a pubilsher the cost outlay to hire an agency to do white hat link building for me as we do not have time. (the site is fully optimised but we lack the inbound links our competitors have) - is there a way I can explain in terms of numbers ie page impressions that if we build for eg 10k high quality anchor text links into our site we will get x thousand more page impressions as our rankings in the search engines will increase? Just need a justification before the budget is allocated.

How many links to aquire from one IP until penalty?
My client has a small site with about 340 links pointing to it. About 60 of them stem from one domain, a directory listing that posts new entries on almost every single site of their domain. My question now is: This obviously isn't a really clever link profile. But I can live with that as long as it doesn't HURT rankings or attracts some kind of penalty. Is there a rule of thumb how many (maybe percentage) links can safely stem from one domain without getting penalized?
