Site Got Penalised, Now What?

How do you know that your website got penalized. You should first go through the webmasters tools -> Manual action tab.

In past week lot of websites faced ranking issues and my suggestions is wait for few more days, if your ranking position will not resume then take further actions.

Let me know if you have received any message from Google.

All region websites get affected with these updates. So wait for sometime to get stability in all results.

I think you can wait for couple of days, So that you can get a clear picture about it.

Hi there!

Before i answer your questions, it is good to note that the new penguin update is mostly focused around de-indexing and de-valuing the bad backlinks. Your website might not necessary be penalized but it mostly lost the value of backlinks that it had.

Q1). If i create new pages on that same website, is it possible that they can rank?
It is surely worth the try as long as you fix your marketing techniques and stay away from black hat linking methods.

Q2). If i create another website is it good idea to copy the content from penalized website?
If you decided to move to a new website, you can surely copy the content but you need first to delete it from your old site. Keep in mind though that your content must be original and of high quality or else, it is not worth moving.

Q3). Can i just buy the same domain with .net instead of .com (penalized). Is it safe?
Every new domain has its own records in Google, there are no relations between domains.

In summary, before moving to any new website, check first what went wrong and revise your marketing methods. Be sure as well to double check if your site is really penalized or it is just matter of link demotion. Make sure to check for messages at Google webmaster tools as well.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

If you think it was because of 'bad backlinks' then google offers a tool to write them off.

Once your keyword rankings dropped, it does not necessarily mean that your website got penalized, you have to first make sure by checking out your Google webmaster tool. if you decide to conti ue your seo campaign, you should be knowledgeable of the Google algorithm and never ever try black hat seo, and make sure that you have unique quality content.

I would suggest you to remove site from G index through webmaster central and then to move the whole site to a new domain..

In my experience, you can rank new site faster as you can fix the old one..

I run 50 niche sites and in the bad scenario I always move content to another domain. In this update I lost 15 sites and I replace all of themin in just a few days..

Answers:
Q - If i create new pages on that same website, is it possible that they can rank?
Nope.. Penalized is the whole domain..

2 - If i create another website is it good idea to copy the content from penalised website?
In my opinion yes, but you have to deindex all content/pages from penalized site

3 - Can i just buy the same domain with .net instead of .com(penalised). is it safe?
Yes, Is it safe, but I think the domain with .net TLD are not the best in google eyes..

Hope this helps..

You may recover from Penguin attack.

Google looks at the QUALITY of links that are linking to your site. That means, you should be linking from sites that have "authority in the eyes of Google." You MUST be linking from sites that are RELATED to your niche.

One of the best ways of recovering your sites is doing guest blogging on influential sites/ blogs in your niche. Then insert a link that directs to your sites. You may do Google search to find quality sites/ blogs. You may guest blog once per day for 20 days. The purpose is rebuild your links and make it look natural to the "eyes of Google." Guest blogging works great and will provide you with massive quality traffic to your sites. The key to guest blogging is nothing short of providing QUALITY information.

Before moving down to any conclusions, let first make sure through Google webmaster tools that actually your site got penalized or not.. If not then just wait for a couple of days as latest penguin updates have been affected to a large number of websites..

Iam also facing the same problem. I lost my Google ranks all of a sudden. No messages received in Google Webmaster Tool. But, I found one warning in crawl error tab that 'Google couldn't access your site because of a DNS error' . Can anybody suggest me a solution.Same keywords ranked well in Yahoo and bing. ie, Most of them found in first pages of yahoo and Bing.

First of all, make an audit of the links to your site - are they from relevant sites with good authority.

1 - if i create new pages on that same website, is it possible that they can rank?
- Google loves fresh, unique and consistent valuable content, so the more you add, the better your rankings will go.

2 - if i create another website is it good idea to copy the content from penalised website?
- If you just copy the content, this will lead to duplicated content (same content on two different sites), so you will have to redirect everything from the old site to the new one with 301.

3 - can i just buy the same domain with .net instead of .com(penalised). is it safe?
- You can move to site with the same domain but different TLD (top level domain - net, info..), but should follow the advice from point 2.

Good luck!

OP, if I was you I wouldn't do anything and won't come to any conclusion as of now. Because, this particular Penguin update is not yet done, its still rolling out as stated by Google's spokesperson John Mueller. So its too early to decide something and do something. I suggest you wait for few more weeks until the dust settles down.

18 Days Later, Google Penguin 3.0 Continues To Slowly Roll Out Worldwide

You are not penalized your ranking just dropped that means your SEO was not according to what google wanted you to do? So first of all remove backlinks for your website wait for some improvement and start SEO again this time don't do blackhat
According to new guidelines
what matters is
26 % On page
45% Social Media
29% off page

The only way you can recover from Penguin is to undo the bad links pointed to your website. No you cannot create new pages and rank again. Starting over again is a wasted effort especially if you don't know what you did to cause a problem the first go around. I have been hearing that Google will update Penguin again just after 2015. I would bet when Matt Cutts returns from his extended trip.

Do you use google webmaster tool?

If yes, they will inform you the problems.

By now social bookmarking links and forum profile link don't hep your SEO. Try to delete link from these platform.
