Hit by Panda - Google Disavow Help
-
Hi
I hope you can help me
A Website I manage has been hit hard by the Panda Update. I am really struggling to understand what is seen as a Spammy link. The Website use to be on page 1 for "fancy dress" now it isnt visable for that term at all and most other terms the site has dropped for.
I have looked into what might have gone wrong and have removed several links , used the disavow tool 2-3 times and submitted re-consideration requests, but each time google informs me that they are still detecting unnatural links.
Could somebody please take a look at our link profile www.partydomain.co.uk for "fancy dress" as an example and show examples of links you would consider that google might not like.
It would also be good if anybody had any contacts in the UK that could help
thanks
Adam

To further stress EGOL's point, this is definitely a Penguin problem if related to unnatural link detection. But that's simple semantics which are definitely relevant when searching for information/help in this matter.
It honestly should be pretty easy to figure out what spammy links there are. For example, you sell dresses, so if your website has links all over underground hip hop forums then it's probably unnatural.
What paid link services have you used? Can you contact them for submission reports? Most will provide this upon request...
--just a couple thoughts

ohhhh... Panda problems are usually caused by thin content and duplicate content. Penguin problems and unnatural link penanties result from spammy links.
You might want to read the new YouMoz article about these topics by Marie Haynes to get panda and penguin straight.... and also learn how to handle some spammy link problems.
Lots of people - even pro SEOs - don't understand the difference between Panda, Penguin and unnatural links.
Read the article so you don't do damage through improper actions.

Hey Adam,
This doc is a little old but still useful. You need two docs. Your link profile from OSE and this doc http://seogadget.com/categorising-your-links/ (download excel at the bottom).
The way they show to copy data from OSE to SEGadget has changed, so see comments at the bottom or leave a message here if you get stuck.
Once you have the data you can see a big list of panda losers/winners etc.. good chance those spammy links are in the panda losers section...
Also are you getting any messages in webmaster tools?
Adam

Static or Dynamic Home Page? Please Help!
Hi again 🙂 I ask for ur input again my friends I finally decided to go for the shorter .COM domain, and I put my domain online. Since it will be an online games site, every post will be in fact a new game. And of course, every game, will be in fact a post. I put my home page as "latest posts" this way, all my posts are shown in home page, and posts being for me games, all my games appear on my home page. So my home page always has the latest games and is always fresh. The theme I use has the option to ad some "static content" at the end of the posts, on home page, for SEO. I my home page I have also about 300 words of "article" content, that never changes, and is for seo, since my post content, is in fact java script, and other html codes ( flash games). So my home pages is that article plus excerpts of latest post. But the problem is, that I cannot control the seo, on page this way, and I cannot control my keywords very well, or the density of them, since the home page isnt a page. Now the question is, to let my Home page as it is, or change it and set it up as a page. I can put games on pages to, that is not a big problem. What is best, for the future of the site, google ranking, and seo, in ur opinion. I ad that I recived "A" Grade on moz for Page Seo Grade! Thank You!

Does Rel=canonical affect google shopping feed?
I have a client who gets a good portion of their sales (~40%) from Google Product Feeds, and for those they want each (Product X Quantity) to have it’s own SKU, as they often get 3 listings in a given Google shopping query, i.e. 2,4,8 units of a given product. However, we are worried about this creating duplicate content on the search side. Do you know if we could rel=canonical on the site without messing with their google shopping results? The crux of the issue is that they want the products to appear distinct for the product feed, and unified for the web so as not to dilute. Thoughts?

Discrepancy between SeoMoz vs Google Webmaster tools
SeoMoz reports over 70 4xx client server errors on my site, but Google Web Master Tools does not report any broken links. There are not any broken links on any of the pages that it is reporting. Could there be another reason for the 4xx errors besides broken links?

Google and display:none
Hi Guys, i want to know what you think about solution which i have to switch content in tab on my page. Here: http://www.exprestlac.sk/beta/produkt/vizitky i have some important content in tabs, which are switching via javascript. So when you click there on O produkte next to Ceny it will show you product description. My problem is that in source code when page is loaded i have this: Product description.. And after user click on O produkte javascript remove that display:none and show content. But Google will see only display:none as i think. Can i get penalty from Google? Will it index this text? Thanks for your suggestions how to resolve this.
