Articles getting slapped?

Hi warriors,

I think that one or two of my articles are getting the google slap.

I wrote two articles about a week ago to be centred around a highly searched for keyword with moderately high competition and submitted it to articlesbase for an backlinking experiment. I submitted another one to Go of similar content.

Anyway, a week later both articles are not indexed anymore (they were to begin with). I hadn't really started the linking yet so it couldn't be that.

I didn't realise that new articles could experience the same kind of thing as new websites, where they are completely removed.

The annoying thing is, quite a few webmasters have published my article on their site and put links to their own stuff early in my article so I don't really get any benefit from that. The articles are not indexed in google anymore by themselves so it looks like they are a non- starter.

Has anyone else experienced this? And know if the articles have a chance of reappearing?

Cheers.

    Yes I have this happen every once in awhile. Just build a few backlinks to it over the next week. It will come back in the results eventually.

    Thanks dbbrock!

    I'll keep at it then. I spent a while writing those articles to create the best I could and was reticent to let them go.

    That is probably against the TOS of GoArticles and ArticlesBase. Contact the webmasters and ask them to revert to the original. If they don't, contact their webhosts.

    I did that recently and GoDaddy took the offending website down until the problem was sorted.

    It annoys the **** out of me when people do that. You wrote the article. If others are too lazy to write their own then they should at least have the courtesy to retain the article in its original form.

    Thankyou rosetrees,

    Yes, it is so irritating. You put all that work in for someone to lift it and get all the benefits.

    The thing is, they did keep my link at the bottom but the reader could easily over look it and click away before then.

    I'm definitely going to contact them. Thanks for that, I didn't realise that wasn't allowed.

    Cheers.

    I believe what dbbrock1 said is true. With backlinks, the love of the search engines will return.

    As for your articles not being indexed, just do a couple of social bookmarks. And for those who add your articles without the resource box, I wouldn't lose my precious time with these people. Many will do this anyway. Just submit more articles.

    I feel that there is no 100% guarantee that the articles will be indexed even though proper keyword research has been done.

    I agree with Frank that it will be more practical to write more articles so that the chances of your articles getting indexed will be higher.

    Hope my humble opinion helps

    It's quite common for some articles to get indexed and then be temporarily removed for a while. Sometimes a couple of weeks. Get some of those links to it. They'll be back at some point toon.

    I have a very good squidoo lense with multiple text modules and that just 'won't' index. Been about 6 weeks now. It's also now got a load of backlinks pointing to it and it is still not indexed. Very strange.
