Ranking effected by Penguin 2.0
-
Hello Everyone,
I am amazed to see that all the ranking of keywords got down after Penguin webspam algorithm updated on May 22, 2013.
Is there any suggestion how we will recover and get the ranking back.
Thanks

I agree with you if it is directly after Penguin 2.0. However many of the times this is a mixture were you ever officially manually penalized?
I can take some time later and go over your content for you and your structure of your website using scribe for your content and I will look over your general website structure however you could just run a campaign on SEOmoz here, and that will tell you a lot more about your website then I'm going to do tonight. I'm sorry I can't spend more time on the site however I will do an analysis of your content and I will check out your back links. I would use open Web Explorer to will get your own links look for directories, anything spammy what I mean is if you would not use that link to find what you're selling then it is probably not a good link. Remember to build for the visitor for the search engine by doing that you actually are building for both.

Hi,
if your rankings drop down after penguin 2.0 you have backlinks issues to resolve, not content issues at first place.

Hi Thomas,
I am agree with you there is no H1 tag on Home page but all the inner pages include H1 tags as well. so i thing this is not the only reason also as per this google webmaster guidelines structure of our website is good.
suggest me what about the content..?
Thanks

PS if you want to know the architecture of any website I strongly recommend going to
then typing in the URL of the site that you want to research. It will tell you what type of site it is sometimes the hosting provider, DNS a lot of information, and it's free.

As far as website architecture is concerned I would agree with Matt Cutts from Google he states WordPress gets rid of 90% website architecture issues
I know one thing about your site that if it is the same site that you have listed is an issue you don't have any H1 tags unfortunately without those you will not rank well. There is a possibility that if you add them you may regain your prior search results.
There is a list I found on Google Webmaster tools and hopefully this will be of some help.

| H1 | Not Found |
Above is a search for on page SEO I found no H1's
hope I've been of help,

hi,
Unfortunately, that's up into a ton of people. If you ever go to SEM Rush and type in some domains of once popular sites you'll see they probably took a hit.
Absolutely there is a way to come back from being hit like that. The best way in my opinion is to really step up content that is of an extremely high caliber.
Another example of things you can do make sure your author rank is good and that you're using it correctly with Google +
You might want to hire an SEO take a look at your entire site architecture definitely use a tool like scribecontent.com it will help you write so you're not as spammy To google.
There are quite a few ways of getting links that are organic and have the power to push you out of your slump.
This most recent update is by far the most harsh. my personal view is Google wants to stop this and destroy it once and for all. And there'd probably knock and stop any time soon until the best page ranks for Whatever the query.
you need to start collecting information and do original things I know it sounds stupid for me to say this and like generic advice. However I believe this is what you have to do. I would suggest longer posts and making sure they're not focusing on keywords simply focus on whatever the topic is and get the keywords about the topic out of your head and weight like you would if it was not being judged by Google.
I hope this was of help,
Thomas

What Ranking Factors Impact Google News Visibility?
I'm just at the beginning of a new analysis involving Google News visibility and ranking factors, and thought I could put the project out to you, dear SEO geniuses, to get your ideas and perspectives. Backgrounder: My company operates over 50 niche, disease-specific daily news sites, covering science, research and advocacy news about specific diseases. Virtually all of them are in Google News. They range in age from 3 years old to 3 months old. Varying degrees of page rank / authority Content on the site is completely niche to specific diseases, and we have a lot of sites for rare and orphan diseases. Most of the content is news, but we also have info/resources pages, blogs, and some short-form posts made for use in social media. The Project: I want to do an analysis of keywords in our news headlines and see how certain keywords correlate with articles that do well -- both in terms of search traffic and overall with users. Going to use our Multiple Sclerosis News Today website. Most of our search traffic comes from Google News. What I hope to gain: I'm curious to see if certain sets of keywords that relate to the disease, to therapies, etc. drive the most traffic. I want to compare these keyword lists to how well we rank in organic search for the same keywords (via news articles or info pages) to see if there is a connection. I want to also create a working keyword list of the best-performing keywords in the news as a way of cross-pollinating content production on our blogs, info pages, social content, etc. I want to increase my knowledge base of ranking factors specific for Google News. The last point is really something I wish I knew more about. I feel like there aren't many knowledge resources out there about Google News. Is it safe to assume that the same on-site and off-site SEO best practices that govern organic search engine visibility are at play in Google News, or are there independent factors as well? I'd love to get your thoughts. Thanks!

Desk top rankings differ from mobile rankings
Hi there! We are working on clients site for SEO. We have noticed that our clients 'desk top search results' on Google differ from the 'mobile / tablet search results'. For the desktop - the client is in the top 4 results of page one for Google, but for mobile / tablet results they are at the bottom of page one. We converted the clients site to be responsive 6 months ago. We have been through Google webmaster tools and made all suggested alterations. All programming is to a high standard. Competitors all seem to keep their current rankings - whilst our clients seem to drop. Any suggestions what the issue is would be very much appreciated 🙂 Thanks in advance. Phil. . We re-built their website so that it was responsive. We have been But -

Why do I have 7 URLs from the same domain ranking on the 1st page?
I have a client that has individual pages for authorized dealers of their product (say "Car Dealers"). When you search for "brand name + location", Google returns 7 "dealership" pages from the parent company's domain as the first 7 results, but there is one that gets pushed off to the 5th page of the SERPs. The formatting of content, geo-targeting, and meta data on the page is identical on every single one. None of them have external links and there is not one extremely distinguishable thing to assess why the one page doesn't get placed on that first SERP. Why is the one getting pushed so far down? I know this may be a bit confusing, but any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
