Problem with my site
-
the site is casino.pt
we created the site 7-8 month ago, we started to push it by good and natural links (http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.casino.pt/a!links!!filter!all!!source!external!!target!page), links in sites with content rich and most of them related to gambling and sport topics.
During the first 3-5 months, the rankings were better and better, after the 6 months, the site lose all its rankings.

Hi! I'm following up on older questions and am wondering how you're doing with your site now, and if the rankings have improved. I see that you're at least indexed in the US right now, with plenty of pages in Google. Can you give us an update and any information that might be helpful for someone else in a similar situation?

I would need to spend some considerable amount of time looking at this, which might be awkward. Just check that you are doing everything by the book. Don't go near black or grey hat techniques and get lots of unique content on there. You also want to build up a good social following and get them to read and repost your articles. Regards, Andy

thanks again for the help Andy,
I would happy to provide you what kind of details do you need?....
thanks

I would say that the original higher placements you were getting then were just an early boost. However, if you are sure that everything you have done is absolutely White hat, then it is hard to know what other reasons google might have found to do this without going into it in more detail. Andy

thanks for the reply, the articles are original with good content

If you have been booted out, it is likely because you have done something that Google doesn't like. Despite the fact that other sites might do this and get away with it, not everyone will and Google will come down hard on them.
Have the articles you bought been duplicated elsewhere on the web?
It could be that you need to reverse what has been done and then send in a reconsideration request to Google, through your Webmaster tools.
Regards,
Andy

If you've bought links and as a result been kicked out of SERPs you should start by cleaning up your link profile. Get rid of the links you bought in the hope you can be re-listed.
This white board Friday video might be a good starting point http://www.seomoz.org/blog/preventing-linkbased-penalties-whiteboard-friday
Good luck!

basically have been booted out of serps's altogether,
Regarding links, We bought articles in other related sites. In gambling sites is very common to do that, you can see the biggest top ranking sites doing that..
I checked the backlinks of casino.pt and they look fine...
what do you suggest us to do?
thanks for the help

When you say you were pushing it by good natural links, do you mean you were going out and gaining links yourself or were other sites linking back to you because of a good site and content?
It is not uncommon for sites to get a boost in the beginning and then drop to where Google thinks they should actually be.
Have you been booted out of the SERP's altogether, or just lost positions?
Regards,
Andy

Duplicate content problem
Hi there, I have a couple of related questions about the crawl report finding duplicate content: We have a number of pages that feature mostly media - just a picture or just a slideshow - with very little text. These pages are rarely viewed and they are identified as duplicate content even though the pages are indeed unique to the user. Does anyone have an opinion about whether or not we'd be better off to just remove them since we do not have the time to add enough text at this point to make them unique to the bots? The other question is we have a redirect for any 404 on our site that follows the pattern immigroup.com/news/* - the redirect merely sends the user back to immigroup.com/news. However, Moz's crawl seems to be reading this as duplicate content as well. I'm not sure why that is, but is there anything we can do about this? These pages do not exist, they just come from someone typing in the wrong url or from someone clicking on a bad link. But we want the traffic - after all the users are landing on a page that has a lot of content. Any help would be great! Thanks very much! George

Site removed from Google Index
Hi mozers, Two months ago we published http://aquacion.com We registered it in the Google Webmaster tools and after a few day the website was in the index no problem. But now the webmaster tools tell us the URLs were manually removed. I've look everywhere in the webmaster tools in search for more clues but haven't found anything that would help me. I sent the acces to the client, who might have been stupid enough to remove his own site from the Google index, but now, even though I delete and add the sitemap again, the website won't show in Google SERPs. What's weird is that Google Webmaster Tools tells us all the page are indexed. I'm totally clueless here... Ps. : Added screenshots from Google Webmaster Tools. Update Turns out it was my mistake after all. When my client developped his website a few months ago, he published it, and I removed the website from the Google Index. When the website was finished I submited the sitemap, thinking it would void the removal request, but it don't. How to solve In webmaster tools, in the [Google Index => Remove URLs] page, you can reinclude pages there. tGib0

Brand New Site Penalized?
I recently launched 2 completely separate and unrelated websites at the same time. Both are new domains and hosting accounts. neither have any links. One is ranking for a branded search and the other is not. The interesting thing is that I tested both sites on the back end of my server before launch. The site that is not ranking for branded search IS ranking still on the back end of my site for the branded search. I have removed all content and 301 redirected the testing urls back to my portfolio page. Could this be do to Google indexing one but not the other. Does it have anything to do with testing on my server first and my DA being higher than current new sites? Or is it something completely different I'm missing completely. Is this a Penalty?
