Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello Ryan,

Yes, it is indexed. But Google confirmed it is penalized. It is not ranking even when I put "newclothing.co" - The site was ranking for that the first three days.

But, as I said before, it is a confirmed penalized site.

Thank you very much!

The site is already in the GWT (since the beginning).

I know it is penalized because Google sent me a message. But, actually, it was after I sent a reconsideration request. They never sent me a message before, about issues in my site. And there is no malware according to GWT.

I will try to take out the adsense at the top and sent a new reconsideration.

This a great resource with great people.

Hello,

I had a site with two topics: Fashion & Technology.

Due to the Panda Update I decided to change some things and one of those things was the separation of these two topics.

So, on June 21, I redirected (301) all the Fashion pages to a new domain.

The new domain performed well the first three days, but the rankings dropped later. Now, even the site doesn't rank for its own name.

So, I thought the website was penalized for any reason, and I sent a reconsideration to Google. In fact, five days later, Google confirmed that my site is "still violating the quality guidelines".

I don't understand. My original site was never penalized and the content is the same. And now when it is installed on the new domain becomes penalized just a few days later?

Is this penalization only a sandbox for the new domain? Or just until the old URLs disappear from the index (due to the 301 redirect)? Maybe Google thinks my new site is duplicating my old site?

Or just is a temporal prevention with new domains after a redirection in order to avoid spammers?

Maybe this is not a real penalization and I only need a little patience?

Or do you think my site is really violating the quality guidelines? (The domain is http://www.newclothing.co/)

The original domain where the fashion section was installed before is http://www.myddnetwork.com/ (As you can see it is now a tech blog without fashion sections)

The 301 redirect are working well. One example of redirected URLs:

http://www.myddnetwork.com/clothing-shoes-accessories/ (this is the homepage, but each page was redirected to its corresponding URL in the new domain).

I appreciate any advice.

Basically my fashion pages have dropped totally. Both, the new and old URLs are not ranking.
