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
Dominic

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 isn't recognizing links to my site. help
I recently changed my domain name and i see on moz that NOTHING is linking to my current domain (even though I have changed all of my links to go to my current domain name). My domain authority remains higher with my old domain name. I do have my old domain linking to my current site. Should I worry about this? How can i get google to recognize the link changes?

Why have I lost 1/3 of my backlinks (about 5,000) in 3 months?
In August, my client's site (I work at a marketing agency) had about 15,000 backlinks. Now they suddenly have about 10,000 backlinks. And their Domain Authority has dropped from 48 to 40! Can someone please help me understand what could've happened? At first I assumed this had something to do with the latest Penguin update, since I knew my client's site had some extremely spammy backlinks they hadn't cleaned up yet. (The site was hacked at some point and hidden pages were created as part of some kind of link-building scheme, and there were lots of links from sketchy sites to those pages. The hidden pages have been taken down and the URLs now redirect to my client's home page.) But that would only explain a sudden drop in Domain Authority, right? How could Penguin suddenly cause my client to lose 5,000 backlinks? And if it's not Penguin, what could it be? Thanks in advance for any insight that anyone can share!

Google Penalty
Hello thereIt has just been confirmed that my site is suffering for a Google Penality. The odd thing is that it is just for my set of key keywords and not the whole site. It seems in 2010 that a rouge SEO company I used sent loads of spammy links but I have lots of other good links too. What is your advice moving forward? Will it drop over time? Do I set up a new site (this has been established over 10 years) or try and get better quality links to compensate for the spam ones? Thanks so much! Kindest regards Victoria

Google Webmaster Tools Link Count
What are your thoughts on the link information provided by GWMT? It often takes quite a bit of time for the links to show up, and some quality links are never shown. Is it cause for concern if your link count is lower in GWMT than, say OSE? Any implications worth noting?
