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

Site Hack In Meta Description
Hey MOZ Community, I am looking for some help in identifying where the following meta description is coming from on this home page - https://www.apins.com. I have scrubbed through the page source without being able to locate where the content is being pulled from. The website is built on WordPress and metas were updated using Yoast, but I am wondering if an installed plugin could be the culprit. On top of this, I have had a developer take a look for the "hack" and they have assured that the issue has been removed. I have submitted the URL in GSC a couple of times to be re-indexed but have not had much luck. Any thoughts would be much appreciated, the displayed description is below. The health screening plays http://buyviagraonlineccm.com/ a significant and key role in detecting potentially life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, heart ...

Site Not Being Indexed
Hey Everyone - I have a site that is being treated strangely by google (at least strange to me) The site has 24 pages in the sitemap - submitted to WMT'S over 30 days ago I've manually triggered google to crawl the homepage and all connecting links as well and submitted a couple individually. Google has been parked the indexing at 14 of the 24 pages. None of the unindexed URL's have Noindex or follow tags on them - they are clearly and easily linked to from other places on the site. The site is a brand new domain, has no manual penalty history and in my research has no reason to be considered spammy. 100% unique handwritten content I cannot figure out why google isn't indexing these pages. Has anyone encountered this before? Know any solutions? Thanks in advance.

Site structure headache
Hello all, I'm struggling to get to grips with a websites site structure. I appreciate that quality content is key etc, and the more content the better, but then I have issues with regards to doorway pages. For example im now starting to develop a lot of ecommerce websites and want to promote this service. should we have pages that detail all of the ins and outs of ecommerce - or should we simplify it to a couple of pages. what is best practice? Also isn't a content hub similar to having doorway pages? let me know what you think! William

My beta site (beta.website.com) has been inadvertently indexed. Its cached pages are taking traffic away from our real website (website.com). Should I just "NO INDEX" the entire beta site and if so, what's the best way to do this? Please advise.

Auto genrated content problem?
Hi all, I operate a Dutch website (sneeuwsporter.nl), the website is a a database of European ski resorts and accommodations (hotels, chalets etc). We launched about a month ago with a database of about 1700+ accommodations. Of every accommodation we collected general information like what village it is in, how far it is from the city centre and how many stars it has. This information is shown in a list on the right of each page (e.g. http://www.sneeuwsporter.nl/oostenrijk/zillertal-3000/mayrhofen/appartementen-meckyheim/). In addition a text of this accomodation is auto generated based on some of the properties that are also in the list (like distance, stars etc). Below the paragraph about the accommodation is a paragraph about the village the accommodation is located in, this is a general text that is the same with all the accommodations in this village. Below that is a general text about the resort area, this text is also identical on all the accommodation pages in the area. So a lot of these texts about the village and area are used many times on different pages. Things went well at first and every day we got more Google traffic, and more and more pages. But a few days ago our organic traffic took a near 100% dive, we are hardly listed anymore and if we are at very low places. We expect the Google gave us a penalty. We expect this to be the case because of 2 reasons: we have auto generated text that only vary slightly per page we re-use the content about villages and area's on many pages We quickly removed the content of the villages and resort area's because we are pretty sure that this is definitely something Google does not want. We are less sure about the auto generated content, is this something we should remove as well? These are normal readable text, they just happen to be structured more or less the same way on every page. Finally, when we made these and maybe some other fixes, what is the best and quickest ways to let Google see us again and show them we improved? Thanks in advance!
