Google deleted me on SERP

[daleduan]

hi warriors I would like to ask for help on what should I do. Just these few days, one of my website has been deleted on Google's SERP. At first, I thought it's just another "google dance" thing but when I saw that my site is still not back on Google's SERP after 4 days, I think there must be something wrong.

My site has been on Google's 1st page on less than 3 months (with 1.8B competition) and has been rank from #9 to #5 for the past few weeks. But this past few days, I noticed that it has been deleted from Google's SERP. While yahoo ranks it #7 from #9.

Can anyone help me? Or is this thing has been happened to you as well? I really appreciate any help I can get.

PS: Though I have been deleted on Google's SERP, I have noticed that my traffic stats has increased.

Check your site in google search as site:yourdomain.com if it is there.Then it wont be deindexed.Panda update hit your site.Keep building backlinks to gain back the rankings

[daleduan]

Thank you masterjani. Actually the first time I searched my site using yourdomain.com, Google has results but the I:0 (index pages using SEOQuake). Though after 3-4 days, the index pages has back but Google's SERP on my site is still not back. Just like you suggested I kept building backlinks on the site.

Do you have any idea how long will Google put my site on their SERP again? Or do I need to do some other things apart from building backlinks?

Wait for a week at least.. or maybe 2. Takes time. After 2 weeks, if things don't look good... then you can start panicking.

Hi,

Is your site an aged site that has been building up unique content for several years?

How do you build your backlinks that makes your site ranked Top 10 on Google for 3 months?

One of the backlink methods could be your source of the problem when you lost your ranking.

Blog Commenting in thousands of Blogs using software or online packages is a bad move that could lead you to the current problem.

Perhaps the reason for being penalized could be related to duplicate content and the fact that you are providing articles for republishing?

Not sure, but just a possibility.

The domain is actually not new. I was able to purchase the domain with a regular price just a day before it expires. It has I think 10-15 backlinks already.

You can do these by using keyword-rich domain. When you have part of the keyword on your domain or you have exact search keyword on your domain. Then create quality backlinks. The best way to create backlink is by using contextual links. Then I did some comments on edu/gov sites.

One of the backlink methods could be your source of the problem when you lost your ranking.

I am actually looking into these. One of the edu site where I commented automatically creates backlinks for my site. But when I checked on their site I cannot find a clickable link for my site.

Blog Commenting in thousands of Blogs using software or online packages is a bad move that could lead you to the current problem.

All my methods for creating backlinks are manual and semi-automated. So I don't think this is the cause.

My answers are in red above.

Actually, Google SE doesn't handle sites with the same content a "duplicate content" per Matt Cutts. What Google SE does is: if they find sites/articles with the same content they rank it according to how the site is optimized or who has more backlinks. That explains why optimization is important.

Like already said do a site:www.domain.com search on Google.

What do you see? Don't use seoquake.

Or, post the url here...

www.GetArticleNow.com

[rauff]

check is that your site is listing in google index

[yukon]

You have 7,000+ pages indexed in Google, what's the problem?

That's also exactly I'm wondering why I can't find my site on Google's SERP. Though Google has continuously index my site pages and my traffic has increased, yet I can't find the site on Google's SERP. And my alexa ranking has been down rank from 2M+ rank to 11M+ rank.

Hi,

Some adjustments on SEO - would do good.

-> Page Title
-> Description
-> Post Title
-> H1
-> H2

-> ALT -> links & img

-> Resubmit the XML Site Map

-> Redo Sitemap.xml

I just noticed today that Yahoo and Bing has rank my site again to #4 and #5 respectively for the keyword "get article". We'll I guess I have to follow your suggestion to re-submit my site. It seems that only Google has not included me on their SERP. Guess I need to re-submit only to Google.

I'll keep you all posted on this thread.

Just one question. Have you recently updated your main page? or have you updated your pages or section of your site dramatically?

How about linking or invisible linking to an unsafe site?

I am also looking into this. It seems that a .edu site automatically creates a link for me when I only commented on their site once. But when I look into the pages of their site where I have backlink (per Yahoo Explorer) I couldn't found my site's link.

Do you have any idea how did this thing happen?

[daleduan]

hi guys,

My site is now back to Google and now ranks #4 for the keyword "get article" and still ranking in Yahoo (#4) and Bing (#5). And it is also ranking for several different keywords. Cheers!

Good to hear... I guess sometimes google dance can last for weeks...

I think your problem is your internal links. You have more then 900 total links. Is recommended to have max 100 on main page. Your on-page optimization is very bad, you have h1 tag on all articles title in the first page. Use h1 tag just once in page...

They are dynamic links. Borns and dies. Yahoo was lucky to catch it.
Common types for dynamic links are "recently commented users",
"Top Commenters" and the like.
