Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Dirk,

We make use of the official Taobao API. Just as the other hunderds of 'taobao agents'.

Tnx Josh,

I have been very careful with the disavow tool. During the months of June/July i received many adult inlinks. Of the nasty kind...  The opensiteexplorer tool indicated these links with a high spam rating.

These are the only ones i disavowed.

Any other reasons you see and can share would be appreciated!

Tnx, Sander

Hi!

I also noticed that and around june/july i disavowed all those spammy links. In my Webmastertools account i don't see them anymore under 'inlinks'.

Regards,

Sander

Tnx Dmitrii,

It lead me to believe that Google might be punishing my platform for something that Bing isn't seeing.

Even within Google's results i can see that my homepage is ranking very bad (http://www.taobao.nl on keyword 'taobao') while category pages are ranking fine (search on 'taobao dameskleding' for example and the top 4 results are mine).

These 2 elements led me to believe there might be some technical reason for the not-ranking of my homepage. (note that the full focus is on the ranking of my homepage on keyword 'taobao' in Google)

Tnx again!

Sander

Dear all,

We're struggling with the SEO of our platform www.taobao.nl for 6 months now. I posted some matters before on the MOZ forum and followed up the ideas that i received (tnx again But so far there really isn't much result.

Recently i found out that my platform is doing excellent in search engine Bing.com (ranking top 3/4 on my main keyword 'taobao') while my platform's homepage is still ranking dramatically in Google on the same keyword (ranking between position 180-280)

Does anybody have some insight for me what could be the reason for this or how/where i can fund it out?

Many thanks in advance!

Sander

Thanks for the complete answer!

I indeed added domains at the second level, so i should be good on that.

WRT the organic traffic. There are more issues to overcome  https://moz.com/community/q/i-m-invisible

I figured these bad links might have something to do with that.

Usually i receive the confirmation in WMT site messages the same day.

"http://www.taobao.nl/: Disavowed links updated"

Hi,

I disavowed them for the 1st time 6-7 weeks ago. Since then new links emerged (i also see them in webmastertools) that i also disavowed.

The strange thing is that these domains that link to my platform (all adult crap) seem not to exist.

If someone can shed some light on this: much obliged

Sander

Hello,

When i run my platform www.taobao.nl through https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/ i see a lot of nasty adult domains that link to my platform. These give a very negative (spam)score to my platform.

I already disavowed quite a few via Webmastertools, but they keep coming.

When i check the names in the Whois, they don't even seem to exist! (anymore)

What could cause this and how can i end it??

Thanks for your help!

Sander

Update:  The bad links have been disavowed and WMT does not mention them anymore (https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/external-links).

Also the no-follow tags have been removed.

Still working on high-quality links (:-)) and im trying to add content on a daily basis.

So far no results.

Dear all,

Earl 2015 i launched www.taobao.nl.  Its a platform that shows the products of chinese marketplaces in our local language (auto translated) and provides the option to pay in our local currency & methods.

(i blocked all the auto translated product pages via http://www.taobao.nl/robots.txt)

All content (category pages, general pages etc) are unique and written by us.

In the past I've set up several websites and shops and i know it always takes time and effort to get a site to good positions, but i never experienced that my efforts did not pay of. Until now

The url is not blocked by Google and i see a (very) limited amount of traffic in WMT & Analytics, but the site is >page 30 on its most important keyword 'taobao'.  This, while the competition on this keyword is low in my country (google.nl).

My main competitor (taobao.com.nl) seems to do worse on most SEO elements i was able to check, but they rank very well on 'taobao' and all related keywords.

What could be the reason of this very poor ranking and what should i really adjust / improve?
(besides backlinks: i'm working hard on that)

Your input is deeply appreciated!!
