I'm So Good At Getting Penalties! What Now?
- SEO |
It's true. I am apparently really foolish in my SEO and get penalised (not deindexed) a little too often. So, I was wondering what my best course of action is regarding two separate problems.
Case 1.) This SITE was doing well in the SERPs, I was taking it easy doing the normal amount of links etc. and going nice and steady. My rankings were increasing. Then I created a little "link wheel" with 4 sites (squidoo, articlerich, goarticles and ideamarketers). Of course then I get all stupid and before the goarticles article could be naturally indexed I blasted it with 60 pligg social bookmarks.
Next day all keywords for entire site are sub 500. Obviously a backlinking penalty. I deleted all the links from the wheel to the main site. However 1 month later my squidoo page now ranks 6th for the sites EMD lol too bad the site ranks 27th. Will it recover? Or should I scrap it, rewrite the content and start again?
Case 2.) A separate site. Great rankings for most pages, and I put up a new SEO optimized page. Of course, I figure I'm doing a fantastic job, as the page ranks for its keyword within 20 minutes. One backlink and 2 days later its gone sub 1000
I read the page again without the "I'm good at SEO" glasses on, and I realize I'm guilty of keyword stuffing. Dumb me. I go through and try to reduce it all, but again maybe I should delete the page, wait a few weeks and put a new one up with a different title, url etc and less stuffing? Not sure that would work.
Only the page got penalized.
Pretty dumb, but I'm new to this so its a learning experience. If anyone has any idea which is the speedier and less wasteful course of action I'd be grateful. I promise to stop doing so much stupid stuff (damn WSO's anyway right)
