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.

Site Rollback for Careless Website Design That Caused Rank Drop
New PPC Client (out of necessity) had their site redesigned for mobile without much care given to it by a "SEO Expert". None of the meta data was copied over to the new images and pages, much of the old content was simply deleted, intra site links completely changed. Huge hits in organic rank, resulting in traffic declines occurred as their lead volume hit zero the following month (April 21 until Present). Any concerns I should have in doing a simple rollback beyond redirects and GWT (Search Console) ops? Current plan is 1. Setup redirects back to old site 2. Launch PPC campaign to recover call volume and leads. 3. Optimize old site for mobile simultaneously with simple responsive framework for menu, text. 4. Start disavowing poor-quality links that were added (got 10 with spam rating >4). 5. Eventually move them back to Wordpress and the theme they paid for with site content, meta data, etc all in tact.

Proper 301 in Place but Old Site Still Indexed In Google
So i have stumbled across an interesting issue with a new SEO client. They just recently launched a new website and implemented a proper 301 redirect strategy at the page level for the new website domain. What is interesting is that the new website is now indexed in Google BUT the old website domain is also still indexed in Google? I even checked the Google Cached date and it shows the new website with a cache date of today. The redirect strategy has been in place for about 30 days. Any thoughts or suggestions on how to get the old domain un-indexed in Google and get all authority passed to the new website?

Dtox showing 64% of backlinks are TOX1 but still ranking
A local business has been smashing the SERPs for a while now, but since May (updates) it has been sliding and search visibility has plummeted. They came to me for help, so I ran a Dtox report and it's showing a lot of bad links (2,863 links in total). TOX1 are deindexed website so it was being linked to from a huge private blog network. MY question is, with only 209 decent links pointing to them, are they ranking because Google hasn't picked up all the shitty links or DESPITE them? I assume that after Google deindexes a domain, that link is wiped out in their index? Which is the reason for the huge drop in rankings and visibility. However, they are still there or there abouts for 40% of their keywords. Whats the best course of action here, do you think? They haven't had a penalty (as far as I know). Should I proceed to disavow? Leave them to drop away and juts build quality links? I don't want to disrupt anything at the moment, they still do well in bing. They say their rankings are slowly sliding. Any ideas would be good!

Is Video Sharing sites is still useful for SERP ?
Well I am not talking about the audience views, i am asking whether it is good for submitting videos to multiple video sites for backlinks and any sharp movements for the keywords. I seen most of the sites are nofollow which is not useful but for the link diversification is that something good ?
