Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

Did anyone see changes in their serps? There are more youtube videos appearing in the organic results?

Hi,

Can the seo gurus here, suggest me if any on page factors affect my site?

http://www.ridpiles.com/

Recently i have added, the following post to the main home page,

http://www.ridpiles.com/2012/02/different-types-of-cures-for-piles/

This page is somewhat different than the title keyword. As the main page titile is "hemorrhoids treatment". The newly created blog post is on "cure for piles"

Does this blog post has any affect on the on page factors due to different title?

And do i require any changes regarding the on page seo?

Will be waiting for your replies.

Is penguin a penalty or just an update?

I am waiting for your reply guys?

Hi Again,

I read this blog post.

http://www.dotcult.com/penguin-recovery-posts-are-lying-to-you

Seems, penguin isn't a penalty. So i wouldn't worry in removing the shady links which i cant control, instead i will go for building more authoritative links. Am i doing the right thing now? If i focus on getting good links, can i get my rankings back or going for a new domain is the only option?

Also please do let me know, Negative seo still exists? i.e firing lot of spammy links to our competitor will get their site down in rankings?

If that was case, what iff, if someone was going to buy an old domain? which he was unaware of that domain got hit by a penguin update?

Here in my case, i cant remove the shady links to that site for sure. So, going for a brand new domain and start doing links for it is the only option i left. And also, if i move my content from my old site to a new site, will it be count as a duplicate content?

Hi,

One of my client has shady link profile and has hit by penguin update. I have confirmed the penalty using Google hack. Now, seeing his link profile, most of his links comes from blog comments which are from unmoderated blogs, and there is no way, we cant remove those comments. But without removing them, we cant get rid of the Google's penguin penality. So, i am planning on 301 redirecting to a new domain.

But my question is, will the penality transfers, if i 301 to a new domain? What iff, if someone buys an old domain hit by a penguin update?

Please clarify me, or if there are any alternatives to get rid of penguin update, please help me.

Hi,

I am trying to rank a health related website. This is the url: www.ridpiles.com

Domain age is 1 year 6 months.

Done Directory submissions

Blog Comments + Forum posts

Done Social Bookmarks

Article submissions (Not much)

I have done competitor analysis. All of my competitors are just had links from directories and some link exchanges. They got links from quality sites like Yahoo dir. I know my site is far better than my competitors and has 100% unique content. I have submitted to yahoo directory inclusion, but still no luck i hadn't accepted into it. I am planning to go for a sponsered review but dont know, weather the link will be valuable for that much of money. I was left with Guest Blogging. I see this is the only option for me to build links. But i have a very tough competiton, i must compete with most reputed sites like webmd.com etc, i need to get more good links. But i cant get what other ways to get authoritative links. If Guest blogging is the only option for me, how many posts do i need to do daily? And can someone suggest me good Guest blogging sites?

Anyhelp would be appreciated.

Hi,

After recent update from Google i.e penguin update. Do Blog comments and Forum Signatures work? Or will they harm my site. Suppose i have a health related blog, and i engage in making comments in technology related blog and forum. Do i am potentially prone to hit a penality?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
