My site still out of rank
-
Hello,
I am working on a site for past 3 months, here are the problems with this site,
1. It had a forum full of spam becuase initially captcha was not included, 10000 spam backlinks
2. Affiliate page was also hit by spam about 4000 spam backlinks which were either not existing or porn etc....
3. Too many internal links which were indexed, these additional links were generated due to tags, ids, filters etc.
Existing SEO team decided to remove the forum and after 30 days they blocked it in robots. But within 30 days the site moved from 3rd page to no where. Now after few days lator internal links are also cleaned by putting following in the robots,
Dissallow: / *?
Dissallow: / *id
Dissallow: / *tag
Links are now cleaning up, all the spam and bad links are now put into disavow file and sent to google via disavow tool.
On daily bases good quality links are been produced such as through content, article submission, profile linking, Bookmarks etc. The site is still not any where on top 50 results. The impressions are decreasing, traffic also do not rise as much.
How do you see all this situation. What do you suggest and how long do you think it will take to return to top 10 when good linking is being done and all preventive measures are being taken.
I would appreciate any feedback on it. Thank you.

Indexing is good, crawling occurs almost every two days.

have you checked to see how often google is indexing the site? these may be affecting how "fresh" the results are in your target keywords. so, if it's only indexing once a month, you may not see a lot of change in search results.

I have added the URL, sorry for missing it,
here it is again, http://www.creativethemes.net, magento themes, magento templates

I agree with irving.For perfect reply give us site URL.
Do read out the post of Rand on Friday whiteboard.
Linkbuilding is dead we are moving to Link Earning.
If you want to create a profile link.Make sure you contribute as part of that member discussion board or site.
N/A profile link is worth what?If you have great community surely your bookmarks and social shares are one of the valuable assets for you but the current way of backlinks is slowly getting to end.
The next war is how good our content is to be let others link naturally to us.Looks like mad for today but you will enjoy it once you start applying it.

impossible to answer without the URL, keywords, competition level etc.
"On daily bases good quality links are been produced such as through content, article submission, profile linking, Bookmarks etc."
Those don't sound like quality links to me, also you should not link build while trying to get out of a penalty.

I have a metadata issue. My site crawl is coming back with missing descriptions, but all of the pages look like site tags (i.e. /blog/?_sft_tag=call-routing)

Having problem with multiple ccTLD sites, SERP showing different sites on different region
Hi everyone, We have more than 20 websites for different region and all the sites have their specific ccTLD. The thing is we are having conflict in SERP for our English sites and almost all the English sites have the same content I would say 70% of the content is duplicating. Despite having a proper hreflang, I see co.uk results in (Google US) and not only .co.uk but also other sites are showing up (xyz.in, xyz.ie, xyz.com.au)The tags I'm using are below, if the site is for the US I'm using canonical and hreflang tag :https://www.xyz.us/" />https://www.xyz.us/" hreflang="en-us" />and for the UK siteshttps://www.xyz.co.uk/" />https://www.xyz.co.uk/" hreflang="en-gb" />I know we have ccTLD so we don't have to use hreflang but since we have duplicate content so just to be safe we added hreflang and what I have heard/read that there is no harm if you have hreflang (of course If implemented properly).Am I doing something wrong here? Or is it conflicting due to canonicals for the same content on different regions and we are confusing Google so (Google showing the most authoritative and relevant results)Really need help with this.Thanks,

Can't support IE 7,8,9, 10\. Can we redirect them to another page that's optimized for those browsers so that we can have our site work on modern browers while still providing a destination of IE browsers?
Hi, Our site can't support IE 7,8,9, 10. Can we redirect them to another page that's optimized for those browsers so that we can have our site work on modern broswers while still providing a destination of IE browsers? Would their be an SEO penalty? Thanks!

Discrepancy in keyword ranking from webmasters and actual ranking.
I have been tracking ranks of some keywords important to my business since the last 2 months. Recently I have observed that, for one of my keywords, google webmasters is giving the avg position as 8 but when i search in google it comes in the 6th page. I know that webmasters tools gives the average position but i do not think there will be such big difference in the ranks. Please help.Thanks.

How to see which site Google views as a scraper site?
If we have content on our site that is found on another site, what is the best way to know which site Google views as the original source? If you search for a line of the content such as "xyz abc etc" and the other site shows before yours in search results, does that mean that Google views that site as the original source?
