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

Backlinks to internal pages help website to rank better or vice versa?
Hi Moz community, We have our backlinks mostly pointed to our homepage. We are trying to rank better and not having minimum number of backlinks to our internal pages is one of the things I worry about. Backlinks to homepage alone help in ranking internal pages or backlinks to internal pages help in ranking homepage? Or both required? Thanks

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!

Does Google or Bing use words in the page title beyond the displayed limit for ranking purposes?
Standard good practice for on-page SEO includes keeping page title length below the maximum that Google displays in the SERPs. But words in the title beyond that maximum can be indexed, even if they don't show in the SERPs for end users. For ranking purposes, is there any value in words beyond the character limit in page titles that are truncated in the SERPs?

How Do Geo Rankings Work?
I know that's vague, so let me specify. I recently got a client on the second page for a relatively difficult 2 word keyword. That is when the location is set to Chicago, Il in Google and private browsing in Chrome (so I'm not logged in). This is great because Chicago is the more important location (the client is located there and that's what his location is when he searches in Google). But when he goes home to the suburbs and searches, the ranking completely disappears. Why would he rank in a much more desired location such as Chicago vs a suburb way out of the city? Is that something you can control or target in terms of optimization? It's difficult trying to explain why this is happening to clients.
