How do I get out of google bomb?
-
Hi all,
I have a website named bijouxroom.com; and I was in the 7th page for the search term takı in google; and 2nd page for online takı. Now, I see that in one day my results seem to be on the 13th and 10th page in google respectively. I made too much anchor text for takı and online takı.
What shall I do to gain my positions back?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Hİ Marie, thank you very much for detailed info you have provided. My domain is only 3 months old; and my website is 1 month old. I have done too much of Anchor texting. You can see the work done in majesticseo but the work cannot be seen in OSE. I don know why..
Update: I am now in the 2nd page for online takı word, but on the 13th page for takı. I dont know what is happening in Google

Did Google launch a Penguin penalty update today? One of my pages, which has been penalized in the past due to too much exact anchor text, just got slammed again today. Went from #5 to nowhere to be seen. Last time this happened, I contacted some sites and got rid of some of the links, but I wonder if they changed the bar again today?

How old is this website? When I look at your backlinks in OSE there is only one backlink. In ahrefs (which is faster than OSE at picking up backlinks) there are more, but only 8 domains containing the word takı.
If you are worried that Penguin affected you for overusing a keyword as anchor text, I think this is unlikely. Penguin last rolled out October 5. It looks like these links were made since then otherwise OSE would have picked them up. (But there is a possibility that OSE doesn't look at foreign language links? I don't know...it's possible that they have existed for long enough for Penguin to be a factor.) With that being said, ahrefs is only reporting 8 domains linking to you with this word.
If this is Penguin then your drop in rankings would have to have happened October 5 (or May 25 or Apr 24). Otherwise, it's not Penguin.
The only other linking penalty that could get you would be a manual unnatural links warning in which case you would have a warning in WMT.
If this is a relatively new domain then it's possible that you had a honeymoon boost which placed you near the top and now you rank where the site deserves. According to Google Translate, Taki means Jewelry. To rank on the first page for a single keyphrase competitive term like that you'll need a lot more domain authority.

Vanity URLs are being indexed in Google
We are currently using vanity URLs to track offline marketing, the vanity URL is structured as www.clientdomain.com/publication, this URL then is 302 redirected to the actual URL on the website not a custom landing page. The resulting redirected URL looks like: www.clientdomain.com/xyzpage?utm_source=print&utm_medium=print&utm_campaign=printcampaign. We have started to notice that some of the vanity URLs are being indexed in Google search. To prevent this from happening should we be using a 301 redirect instead of a 302 and will the Google index ignore the utm parameters in the URL that is being 301 redirect to? If not, any suggestions on how to handle? Thanks,

CDN Being Crawled and Indexed by Google
I'm doing a SEO site audit, and I've discovered that the site uses a Content Delivery Network (CDN) that's being crawled and indexed by Google. There are two sub-domains from the CDN that are being crawled and indexed. A small number of organic search visitors have come through these two sub domains. So the CDN based content is out-ranking the root domain, in a small number of cases. It's a huge duplicate content issue (tens of thousands of URLs being crawled) - what's the best way to prevent the crawling and indexing of a CDN like this? Exclude via robots.txt? Additionally, the use of relative canonical tags (instead of absolute) appear to be contributing to this problem as well. As I understand it, these canonical tags are telling the SEs that each sub domain is the "home" of the content/URL. Thanks! Scott

Does Google know what footer content is?
We plan to do away with fixed footer content and make, for the most part, the content in the traditional footer area unique just like the 'main' part of the content. This begs the question, do Google know what is footer content as opposed to main on page content?

Google is indexing my directories
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I was looking at all of Google's results for my site and I found dozens of results for directories such as: Index of /scouting/blog/wp-includes/js/swfupload/plugins Obviously I don't want those indexed. How do I prevent Google from indexing those? Also, it only seems to be doing it with Wordpress, not any of the directories on my main site. (We have a wordpress blog, which is only a portion of the site)

Google Off/On Tags
I came across this article about telling google not to crawl a portion of a webpage, but I never hear anyone in the SEO community talk about them. http://perishablepress.com/press/2009/08/23/tell-google-to-not-index-certain-parts-of-your-page/ Does anyone use these and find them to be effective? If not, how do you suggest noindexing/canonicalizing a portion of a page to avoid duplicate content that shows up on multiple pages?

Why google index my IP URL
hi guys, a question please. if site:112.65.247.14 , you can see google index our website IP address, this could duplicate with our darwinmarketing.com content pages. i am not quite sure why google index my IP pages while index domain pages, i understand this could because of backlink, internal link and etc, but i don't see obvious issues there, also i have submit request to google team to remove ip address index, but seems no luck. Please do you have any other suggestion on this? i was trying to do change of address setting in Google Webmaster Tools, but didn't allow as it said "Restricted to root level domains only", any ideas? Thank you! boson
