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.

Google Not Indexing Pages (Wordpress)
Hello, recently I started noticing that google is not indexing our new pages or our new blog posts. We are simply getting a "Discovered - Currently Not Indexed" message on all new pages. When I click "Request Indexing" is takes a few days, but eventually it does get indexed and is on Google. This is very strange, as our website has been around since the late 90's and the quality of the new content is neither duplicate nor "low quality". We started noticing this happening around February. We also do not have many pages - maybe 500 maximum? I have looked at all the obvious answers (allowing for indexing, etc.), but just can't seem to pinpoint a reason why. Has anyone had this happen recently? It is getting very annoying having to manually go in and request indexing for every page and makes me think there may be some underlying issues with the website that should be fixed.

Favicon not showing in google serps
Hi, I have a website where the favicon is not showing in the google mobile serps. It's appearing the default icon instead (world icon). This is the tag I have place in the head section of the website: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" /> The size of the favicon is 48x48 and it's appearing correctly in the browser tag. I've checked that the google robot can crawl it and in the server logs I can see requests from the "Google Favicon" user-agent. Has anyone had this same problem? Any advice?

Does google look at H3 tags?
I've had someone tell me that google doesn't pay attention to H3 tags -- only H1 and H2. I haven't found much online to back this up or discredit it; thought I'd ask the Moz community!

How do I get Google to display categories instead of the URL in results?
I've seen that for some domains Google will show a nice clickable site heirarchy in place of the actual URL of a search result. See attached for an example. How do I go about achieving this type of results? categorized.png
