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

Doctype language declaration problem
Hello,
Technical SEO | | Silviu
I have a problem with an SEM Rush warning on a website audit, for www.enjoyprepaid.com. It tells me "5852 pages are lacking language declaration", but I don't understand what it means and how to actually fix this problem. Also I run a W3 validator and have a doctype and language problem but again don't understand what they mean and how to fix them https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.enjoyprepaid.com%2FAfghanistan-calling-cards-2.html0 -
Does my "spam" site affect my other sites on the same IP?
I have a link directory called Liberty Resource Directory. It's the main site on my dedicated IP, all my other sites are Addon domains on top of it. While exploring the new MOZ spam ranking I saw that LRD (Liberty Resource Directory) has a spam score of 9/17 and that Google penalizes 71% of sites with a similar score. Fair enough, thin content, bunch of follow links (there's over 2,000 links by now), no problem. That site isn't for Google, it's for me. Question, does that site (and linking to my own sites on it) negatively affect my other sites on the same IP? If so, by how much? Does a simple noindex fix that potential issues? Bonus: How does one go about going through hundreds of pages with thousands of links, built with raw, plain text HTML to change things to nofollow? =/

Will Links to one Sub-Domain on a Site hurt a different Sub-Domain on the same site by affecting the Quality of the Root Domain?
Hi, I work for a SaaS company which uses two different subdomains on our site. A public for our main site (which we want to rank in SERPs for), and a secure subdomain, which is the portal for our customers to access our services (which we don't want to rank for) . Recently I realized that by using our product, our customers are creating large amounts of low quality links to our secure subdomain and I'm concerned that this might affect our public subdomain by bringing down the overall Authority of our root domain. Is this a legitimate concern? Has anyone ever worked through a similar situation? any help is appreciated!

Examples of sites using hreflang
Hi all, I'll soon be doing some work for a worldwide company who are launching a new site. The new site is a near clone of another of their sites in another country. Obviously I'll need to make use of rel="alternate" hreflang="x" on both sites. I've read all the Google documentation etc but was wondering if you guys could point me in the direction of a few sites which are currently implementing the tag successfully. Thanks in advance,

Site Crawl
I was wondering if there was a way to use SEOmoz's tool to quickly and easily find all the URLs on you site and not just the ones with errors. The site that I am working on does not have a site map. What I am trying to do is find all the URLs along with their titles and description tags. Thank you very much for your help
