OK Warriors... I need some help

Hi all,

I've got a site which has multiple pages, each based around a single keyword.

Essentially I got a big list of keywords (related), spun the page content and inserted the keyword, making lots of pages with 'unique' content, unique descriptions, keyword titles etc.

Whereas the majority of pages seem okay, and some rank well, i'm noticing more and more pages disappearing from Google at the moment (especially the ones i'm not repeatedly firing links at).

Is there a way to get them re-indexed or do you think i'm getting a penalty?

Some points:

1. It's based on wordpress and has all the usual plugins (All in One SEO, XML sitemaps etc.)

2. I'm sure my site could do with some inter-linking (at present it's just the sitemap link at the bottom that links all the pages)

3. I own 3 big auto blogs, and pretty much dumped the sitemap on the footer of each, which indexed me well, but am not sure the links are helping. It generated thousands of links.


Any advice/help would be gratefully received... i simply can't afford to call the SEO guy i've used before If there's anything i can do in return please let me know.

If interested I can PM a link to see

    some of the pages may be indexed in one data center and not another. you also might be getting hit for a duplicate content penalty if you are using spun content. if you have the time, or can outsource it, i would write up as much fresh content as you could for those pages you are worried about. definitely improve your interlinking as well, and i would remove your links from those autoblogs until the pages are reindexed at least.

    Thanks so much for your reply...

    Funnily enough i've removed the links from the autoblogs, and am currently going through each page (indexed or not) adding fresh content.

    I've also added inter-linking between the pages.

    Someone pointed out to me that the links haven't gone altogether if you do a google seach for info:http://www.blahblah

    They've just dropped so far there's no point to them.

    I shall stick with it for a while and see what happens!

    Thanks again, any more advise gratefully received

    Try using SEO Links plugin in order to create some internal links. Getting those thousands of links is great, but they are probably from the same IP address so Google will notice that and will devalue all of those links.

    Try adding new content to the pages that gone missing and build links to them.

      Hi Tim,

      Google is pretty good at detecting duplicate content, and while you have spun your content, it is difficult to spin the same article more than a few times before you start to lose some of the uniqueness. If two or more of your articles are similar enough you may have some of them treated as duplicate content and filtered from SERPs. It all depends on how well you rewrote your spin syntax for your seed articles.

      At it certain point it becomes more productive to write totally new articles rather than continuing to spin the same ones.
