Google penalty removal expert questions
-
We have searched online for a Google penalty “expert” (individual or company) and have located what appear to be “experts”.
Please provide feedback on the following 2 individuals/companies we have found that can help with penalty removal.
Have you or one of your clients used either of the “experts” below?
What were the results?
How many disavows and reconsideration requests did you/they have to make?
1.www.penaltypros.com . To give a quote and to see what your links are they use links from Google Webmaster Tools only.
Penaltypros.com disavows first and then removes bad links second. This is opposite of what Google and Seo’s recommend but penaltypros.com claims 100% success using this non-traditional approach. See imgur.com link for screenshot.
2.http://www.hiswebmarketing.com/ To give a quote and to see what your links are they use links from https://ahrefs.com/ only.
Please provide any and all feedback on the above 2 “experts” and also post the websites, individual names, company names of those that you consider Google penalty removal “experts” so that we may obtain a quote from them.

Thanks for considering Penalty Pros to assist you with your Google penalty.
Whilst I obviously believe strongly in our service, we can equally vouch for Marie and her team - they do great work (and I can't say that about many...)
All the best!

We received an email from Google WMT on April 7th, 2013 notifying us of a manual action taken against our site due to unnatural inbound links. Our SEO company at the time (a very well known SEO company) didn't respond to any of our emails or phone calls about the WMT notice for 3 days, and then finally told us to "just ignore it". Our rankings plummeted and after much searching we found Marie. We hired her on May 29th to handle the penalty which was finally revoked on October 4th. Unfortunately we were hit by the Penguin update on May 26th and didn't get our link profile cleaned up in time for the October 4th Penguin update. So we're still penalized.
We had to submit about 5 reconsideration requests in all. When Google rejected our 4th reconsideration request they gave us an example URL that wasn't reported in WMT, or in any of the other link reporting tools (sneaky Google). But Marie used the link as a clue and found 5 other URLs with the same scraped content. We quickly got those links removed, submitted another reconsideration request, and voila, the penalty was revoked. It definitely took a lot of work.
Marie is very knowledgable as a link analysis and penalty expert and is deeply committed to her customers. The nice thing about working with her is that you pay her once, and she will work until your penally is revoked, no matter how many reconsideration requests she has to file.
I highly recommend Marie and hiswebmarketing.com
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thanks for the kind words Michael.
Your site was one of the most difficult ones that we have dealt with. For some reason Google was extremely picky. But, I think that it was important that Google made us find close to ever possible unnatural link. We're already seeing improvements in your traffic and I expect that when Penguin refreshes you'll see even more.

Thanks for including us in your search! I just wanted to clarify one point. Although we base our quotes on the number of linking domains listed in ahrefs.com, we use links from every source we can find including WMT, Majestic SEO, Open Site Explorer and our own tool that finds links that are in the Google index but not in the above mentioned backlink checkers.
I'm happy to answer any other questions you may have. We do honest work and we are very good at removing penalties.

I inherited a nasty case of bad link building and 3-way link schemes I had to deal with midway through 2013. I carefully vetted dozens of "experts". I went with Marie and her team at hiswebmarketing.com and have have no regrets.
The manual process they use is strictly by the book. You'll also have an opportunity to review your bad links to make sure you don't lose any good juice. Considering all of the manual labor and documentation required, I think their price was more than fair compared to the competition. I thought the penalty was a death sentence but it's been revoked and I'm back on page 1-3 (depending on market) for the main keyword I was penalized for.
I'm pretty confident that if you go with hiswebmarketing.com your penalty will get revoked.

How Google could quickly fix the whole Links problem...
A Thursday morning brainstorm that hopefully an important Google manager will see... Google could quickly end all the problems of link buying, spammy links, and negative SEO with one easy step: Only count the 100 best follow links to any domain. Ignore all the nofollows and everything beyond the 100 best. They can choose what "best" means. Suddenly links would be all about quality. Quantity would not matter. Fiverr links, comment links, and all the other mass-produced spam links would literally be ignored. Unless that's all a domain had, and then they would surely be stomped by any domain with 100 decent natural links. Would it be an improvement over today's situation?

Now that Google is no longer publicly displaying Page Rank updates, how will this effect Moz's ability to calculate DA and PA?
Hi, How much more important do you guys think that Moz's Page Authority and Domain Authority metrics are going to become now that Google has stopped giving people public access to a site or pages Page Rank? And how accurate is PA and DA as a measurement in comparison to Page Rank..so for example if I was seeking a guestposting opportunity and saw a site as having a PR of 4....if I now looked to Moz's Page and Domain Authority metrics instead...would that still give me equivalent information on the strength of that domain and thus make a judgement on whether it will be a worthy site for a guestpost.. I guess what I am asking is, how close is now looking at Moz's metrics (ie. a third party company) to the info on PageRank that was being updated by Google themselves? Also will the lack of updated public PR info from Google effect the ability for Moz to calculate PA and DA?? Look forward to your replies on this,

Manual action penalty by Google
Hello, We have a big well-known brand - www.titanbet.com. This brand is well established and the site has been live for almost 4 years now ranking very well on some very strong KWs. we received a message from Google on Aug 29<sup>th</sup> saying “Google has detected a pattern of artificial or unnatural links pointing to your site” and that “Google has applied a manual spam action to titanbet.com/” The past 2 weeks since the penalty was received we saw some of our major KWs drop in rankings. BUT all brand related KWs were still ranked 1<sup>st</sup> Over the last weekend the penalty has worsen and we no longer rank on any of the brands KWs (we find the site in 5<sup>th</sup> page at best). Moreover, when searching for a sentence from the any of the page on the site in Google, we see other sites ahead of us in the SERPs. Based on the message we originally received from Google we have started cleaning some of the bad links to the site. We found a lot of links from bad sites, some of them are not indexed and probably penalized as well, some are from affiliate websites and some are from some automatic indexation websites based in China and Russia

we have started reaching out to some of these sites to try and have them remove our links. We are also worried about the duplication of our site. We have found many other sites (mostly affiliate websites) have copied and in some cases completely duplicated our content. Google for some reason has chosen to penalize us for this. Although we do not have control over these other sites. We have run copyscape to try and figure out which pages are the most problematic and we will try to re-write the content on these pages. But what if the other sites copy us again? Any suggestions on the above would be appreciated as we try to understand why Google has penalized us. thank you Titan Bet Team0 -

Google Will Penalize Sites Repeatedly Accused Of Copyright Infringement
Has someone filed a large number of DMCA “takedown” requests against your site? If so, look out. That’s the latest penalty that may cause you to rank lower in Google’s search results. It joins other penalties such as “Panda” and “Penguin.” We’re dubbing it the “Emanuel Update” in honor of Hollywood mogul Ari Emanuel, who helped prompt it. Read more here: http://searchengineland.com/dmca-requests-now-used-in-googles-ranking-algorithm-130118 What do you guys think MOZERS?

Anyone drawn a Google Penguin?
Just a bit of light relief in the world of SEO. Hey SEO people are funny and can laugh as well 🙂 Our SEO team has had a go at drawing some penguins and the results are funny to us as they are so childlike. Anyone else fancy adding their drawing to the flicker group. This is just a bit of fun for us all! http://www.flickr.com/groups/googlepenguincartoons/

Wrong types of questions...
I've noticed something in the forums. Many people are asking the wrong types of questions with regards to SEO and having success with their sites on it. This is understandable since many of the questions being asked are by those who have only just got in to SEO. But it does show that the emphasis of the industry must still be very much focused on getting links and changing META data, etc... with little mention out there in all those resources of what actually matters. Thankfully, the questions are answered with people explaining that the wrong questions are being asked, and that it's not just about random traffic gained through rankings for general keywords. Do you think that in time we'll see an evolution of the questions, as awareness grows, moving from questions of how to rank to questions on how work out the best KPIs to measure, and how to action strategies for improving them?
