301'ing old (2000), high PR, high pages indexed domain
-
Hi,
I have an old (2000), very high PR, 20M+ pages indexed by goog domain which... got adsense banned.
The domain has taken a few hits over the years from penguin/panda, but come out pretty well compared to many competitors. The problem is it was adsense banned in the big adsense acct ban of 2012 for invalid activity. No, I still have no idea what the issue was.
I'd like to start using a new domain if I can safely get goog to pass the PR & indexing love so I can run adsense & Adx.
What are your initial thoughts? Am I out of my mind to try?
-
If you're saying that organically it's ranking well you'll see a dip from the redirection process. If you like the site and don't want the risks associated in redirecting, you should probably avoid redirecting it.
-
Any thoughts on the 301'ing of a site with such stats??
-
So you have individually been banned? You're probably out of luck there.
-
I dunno, it's not like I have anything to lose adsense wise. I can't use it now.
-
Couldn't tell ya. If you have an existing relationship with an account rep there I'd work directly with them on both points. Personally the linking of a banned site to a clean account sounds very high risk.
-
Do many 'related' accts get shut down if the new site/acct is running clean?

Hi Steve. EGOL would be the expert on this question for sure. And just to clarify it was only a site that triggered removal and not you as an individual or company? Beyond that, here's the official guide on how to get a site reinstated based on appeal:
We're always willing to work with you to resolve any issues you might have. If you feel that this decision was made in error, and if you can maintain in good faith that the invalid activity was not due to the actions or negligence of you or those for whom you are responsible, you may appeal the disabling of your account.
To do so, please contact us only through our appeal form.
Once we receive your appeal, we'll do our best to inform you quickly and will proceed with appropriate action as necessary. Please understand, however, that there is no guarantee that your account will be reinstated.
Once we've reached a decision on your appeal, further appeals may not be considered, and you might not receive any further communication from us.
From: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/57153#q2 Chances are you've already tried this and the appeal was rejected. Did you go over each and every point of their reasoning behind invalid activity? Did you go full kimono? You could try once more but I'd preface that as FINAL appeal and then let it rest and look for different advertisers.
If you do pursue linking the old, banned account to a new one, you'd probably run afoul of, "My account was disabled for being related to another disabled account. Can you tell me more about this relation?" from that same page... Good luck!

Key webpage fluctuating between page 2 and page 6 of Google SERP
Hi, We have found that one of our key webpages has been fluctuating between page 2 and page 6 of Google SERP for around 2 weeks. Some days it will be on page 6 in the morning and then page 2 in the afternoon. We have recently updated some copy on the page and wondered if this could be the cause. Has anyone else experienced this? If so how long was it before the page settled? https://www.mrisoftware.com/uk/products/property-management-software/ Thanks.

Is it stil a rule that Google will only index pages up to three tiers deep? Or has this changed?
I haven't looked into this in a while, it used to be that you didn't want to bury pages beyond three clicks from the main page. What is the rule now in order to have deep pages indexed?

Trafic drop after a huge indexation
Hello everyone, My website used to have about 500k indexed pages in Google. After publishing fresh sitemaps and a little local "buzz", it now has about 6 millions indexed pages and the numbers are skyrocketing (GWT says 7 millions and it will probably keep going). My website has a total number of pages of 10 millions. I used to have about 5k organic visite each day, but since the big indexation has started, I now have half less. I read many things about that kind of trafic drop, and it seems to be a normal step when indexing a huge site. I just wanted to know if you guys had any similar experiences and if yes, if there are specific tasks to do in order to recover/develop the organic trafic or if it's just a matter of time. Thanks for your help and share of experiences 😉

Active Domain Resale?
Hi, Someone I know has just been offered a domain name by http://activedomainresale.com/. Is anyone familiar with this company? They're offering the non-hyphenated domain name (the person I know has the same domain name except with a hyphen) for a one-time fee of $49, payable through paypal or a credit card. When we contacted customer support by email (they did respond quickly), the email came from a different domain - directpremiumdomains.com. Has anyone had any experience with this? If it's legit, it seems like it could be a good opportunity to get the non-hyphenated URL but I'm concerned that it might be a scam. Thanks in advance! Carolina
