Have you had 3 to 5 Google penalties lifted?
-
I've tried three times and have been unsuccessful.
Is there any specific strategy or technique that has worked for you?
Anyways, I'd like to speak with you if you have successfully had 3 to 5 penalties lifted. So please reach out to me.
Thanks

What the site under a "manual" penalty?
-
I have had link related penalties and poor content penalties removed, or at least the keywords ranked well after we corrected the issues
I never revived an email from Google saying the penalty was lifted, but as I say the result was what the client wanted.
If this is what you would like to discuss I am happy to help

Hi Dominic...have a look at your p.m.'s. I sent you a message a couple of days ago. I've been able to lift unnatural links penalties for a good number of sites now. I didn't ask if yours was actually a manual penalty (i.e. did you get a warning in WMT). If it's an algorithmic issue like Penguin then this could be another story.
In case you can't read your p.m.'s for some reason you can reach me at marie@hiswebmarketing.com

Hi Dominic
Do you know what penalties you were affected by?
What dates did you see the effects?
What messages have you received in Webmaster tools?
There are different responses to different penalties and knowing what you have been penalized for is the first step towards recovery.
Probably not the answer you hoped to hear but it should be the first step you take.

Hi Dominic. I have found that by far the most common reason for sites to fail at getting a manual linking penalty removed is that not enough links have been selected for needing removal. Other reasons include not doing enough work to show Google that you have tried to get links removed. (It is not enough to just disavow links). And some reconsideration requests fail because the disavow tool was not used properly.
I'll send you a p.m. and we can see if I can help you.

Google Panda Update question
Since the Panda update from December 21st, 2012, some of the keywords I used to rank for are now gone beyond page 20. What I don't get is that the websites that are now ranking are definitely full of crap and they have tons of unnatural links pointing to them. I've analysed their backlink profiles and most of them have only exact keyword match anchors pointing to them. So what's going on? Is buying tons of crappy links still a valid tactic? I know it is not but how come thoses sites outrank me? I mean it happened to LOTS of my keywords. I don't get it...

Has anyone changed domain after "unnatural link message" from Google?
We received a "unnatural" email from Google approx 6 months ago and have tried removing all links but it is proving to be near impossible - has anyone undergone a domain change and moved their sites to get rid of the penalty?

3-Way Link Exchange Method - Does it Work?
Hello People, I have been searching for a service to help us with our link building and have been talking to a company that uses the 3-Way link exchange method and my question is: Does it work well? Below I pasted an email from this company explaining their method. Thanks in advance to everyone! =============================== Our success rate is about 80%. For one way links, we use 3 way link exchange method for making links. Suppose your site is A. My website is B. My friends website is C and friend's client's site is D. I will add a link on B linking to D and my friend will add a link on C linking to A. This is the procedure we use for making links. We check the quality of the website before putting link on it. The site will be completely relevant, no spam links will present there and the page will be minimum of PR1. ================================

Can being on to many directories cause a penalty from Google?
If a URL is on hundreds of different directories would that be enough for Google to penalize a website?

Does Google see this as an inbound link?
Hi, I'm looking at adding my site to a directory. It's highly relevant to my industry and has relatively good PA/DA. The external links on the directory uses some PHP code like the following: http://www.ThisDirectory.com/visit.php?i=3141635&url=http://www.ExternalDomain.com Obviously the links works as a redirect but they do not show up in OSE. Would Google count this link as an inbound link? Thanks,

Have I suffered a keyword specific penalty?
Hi all, We've been working on improving our ranking for a specific keyword for the past couple of months. Progress has been steady if not spectacular (it's a very competitive keyword). Last week we obtained (not bought!) a site wide link from a partner (nothing fishy, they are business partners in the same industry) as well as a link each from a relevant resource site and a directory with good PA/DA. The anchor text used on the new links is keyword rich. This week our rankings have fallen dramatically from page 2 to page 39 for our targeted page although other pages on our site still rank well for this keyword. The targeted page is still indexed by Google. Could Google just be reassessing our ranking for this page and it will return to its previous rank or is it likely it has received a keyword specific penalty? Thanks in advance.
