Website dissapeared out of Google
-
Hi Everyone,
About 2 months ago i launched a website called http://spelenroulette.nl, i did some linkbuilding for this website in the meantime with other roulette/gaming related websites and the website got a bit up in Google.
But when i was checking my rankings today the frontpage of this website doesn't show up on the first 80 pages? Only some subpages are still on the same positions.
Could this be for a rank-update like these happens all the time and your site dissapears from Google for several days, or could this be because of wrong/too many backlinks or something completely different?
Regards,
Yannick

How long could it take then till my site gets back in google because of these 2 penalized links?
-
Ah, certainly interested.
Yup, I would absolutely email them to remove those links. If there's any risk whatsoever, I would ask for the links to be removed.
-
I checked for the sitename in Google(And they didn't have common names like my websites, but something weird), and i can't find this website in Google anymore, some of it's subpages still exist, but the page where i have a link has dissapeared.
-
How can you tell that these two websites have a penalty now?
-
I was checking several links wich were placed on several niche-related websites, but 2 of these website which didn't have a penalty during the link placement, have a penalty now as far as i can see.
Should i wait for another week, or mail these webmasters if they want to remove my link?

There are a lot of reasons why a site might drop in rank. The number is higher for newer sites because a site can often rank well after launch and then become weighted down to a "real" number. Another possibility is a temporary shift in your site rank. I've seen sites inexplicably drop (i.e. no recent SEO activity) and then come right back in a weeks time.
Your site's not been de-indexed. Keep doing proper SEO and you should come back up.

Actually, I've had the same sort of experience over the past 48 hours with one of my websites - it has completely disappeared from Google over the past 48 hours.
I suspect it is indeed another algorithm change that has affected the website, however, my recommendation is that you continue to add links, add high quality and unique content, etc. Just because it dropped now doesn't mean that it won't come back.
On some of my websites, I've seen the rankings disappear, and when it comes back, it's in the top 15 results - which is great.
Keep SEOing and don't lose hope.

Thanks for your answer,
I launched this website a month ago i just checked, wrote several site-related articles and update the website each 3 days with a new newsarticle.
So it surprised me that only the frontpage dissapeared from google, and not the subpages.
I don't believe the Google search for links, when you use linkcommand you'll see several links, one of those links is unrelated to the site and i just mailed the website if they wanted to remove that link. Other websites which link towards me are related to my niche.
My linkbuilding style was contacting other webmasters and passing content if they wanted to place that with a link towards my website included, made some Social Media accounts for the website and that was about it, not really special. I think there are only 10 new links since the launch of this website, that shouldn't be too much in only a month time?

Not coming up for a term that is within your domain is not a good sign:
http://www.google.nl/search?q=spelenroulette&pws=0At this point I am thinkiing penalty or ban, however ban is not the case as you still rank for an exact domain search:
http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=spelenroulette.nlOnly 11 pages on the site (or indexed):
http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=site%3Aspelenroulette.nlYour site seems pretty poor in content and purpose so it could be an algorithmically assigned penalty. The thing is that my dutch is not that great so I cannot evaluate (I am also not sure if the new algo applies to Holland yet).
Link command shows no links:
http://www.google.com.au/search?q=link%3Aspelenroulette.nlYou're in a very spammy niche and I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of filter or penalty applied.
Search for: "spelenroulette.nl" -site:spelenroulette.nl brings 37 instances where your domain was mentioned (or perhaps linked) and they don't seem that flashy.
What was your link building style?

Unnatural link Manual Penalty by Google
Hi, Our product Quiz Maker help users to create quizzes and can share, embed etc. We have a link in our embed code which was DoFollow and we've got many doFollow links from the websites on which our quizzes got shared but these links are too old like 2009, 2012 etc. After that, to complying with Google policies, we've changed the dofollow link to nofollow in embed code. Here are two scenarios: 1.) We've too many dofollow links which are too old and we don't have control over it as these are the natural links, given by our users before we changed the embed code link. 2.) Now, we are getting nofollow links from the widget as the embed code consists of nofollow link. Our embed code is editable and user can change it to dofollow or nofollow as per their requirement. Moreover, some people shared quizzes on their website (without using embed code) with dofollow link. But, now, google is taking manual action penalty against us. How we can resolve it as it seriously affects the overall performance of our website. Thanks

Other websites copy content and giving a link back
Hi, I've just noticed a few back links in Google Search Console, I was excited. But when I saw the backlinks, 2 other websites that had completely copied my content and then gave a backlink to my website. Is this bad for SEO and would google penalise my website for this?

Google Webmaster Link drop
Checking Google Webmaster it looks like my links dropped in half? Yet I have been ranking very well the past 2-3 days? Is there any explanation for this? I have been doing Pr's, Blogs, manual link building, and concentrating on the social side of it as well, facebook, twitter, google+ can that have anything to do with better rankings? or is it still considered a minor part? Thanks!

Link building / baiting in the Google zoo
I work for a consultancy, and in the past most of our links have been acquired by giving away privacy statements etc for websites, including a link back in the body of the document, and making it a licensing requirement that the link be kept. We're launchinga new site. We want this one to be whiter-than-white, and would appreciate some advice on the following options. Option 1: no links Remove the links from the documents, and don't require links for the use of the documents. Leave a non-linking credit in the documents. Perhaps ask nicely for links from other pages. Option 2: links on other pages Remove the links from the documents, but make it a licensing requirement that users will link to our site from another page on their site. I appreciate that most won't, but some will. Option 3: retain the links Keep the links in the document, using domain name (with and without http and www) and business name anchor text. Option 4: script the links Use scripts to generate randomized links in the documents, so that no two are the same, but with relevant linking text for the most part. We're risk-adverse with the new site, and it will pick up some links "naturally". We're therefore tending toward option 1, on the basis that it may well generate as many links as option 2. Which of these options would you choose? Are there any other options we should be considering?

Google Merchant Center
Does anyone have experience with outcomes on listing your products under grouped search results as opposed to separated out. It seems that this can be easily accomplished by using a SKU that is different then others in the listing but I wonder if one ranks better over the other (it appears that grouped searched rank a bit higher). It seems that it would be best to take into consideration the audience you are targeting and what their habits are, i.e. would they be more likely to click on the group searches and look for products that way or do they want to find a reputable brand and would more likely click on that. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated as I am not really finding any information on this subject.
