Having all links removed or move to a new domain? What is best?
- SEO |
Seems like we were hit by a google update about 8 weeks ago. We weren't ranking fantastically well for most keywords (bottom of 1st, 2nd or 3rd page), but now we are not even in the top 100 search results for 90% of the money keywords.
We are still ranking for some low competition keywords, but that's it, and they have almost no traffic.
We previously used an SEO company to build links (not used for past 2 years though), which were built on crappy sites, and all with keywords in the anchor text.
I checked all the backlinks to our site, and of the 380 main backlinks, 330 are the keyword stuffed ones made by this company.
If the SEO company will not remove these links, would moving to a new domain help?
Our current domain has been operating for over 5 years, but we have very little link-building except for what this SEO company did.
The way I am thinking at the moment is that we have hardly any traffic coming to the site right now, so why not just move everything to a new domain to get away from this mess?
Do you think this is a viable option? Is there anything I need to be careful of if I move the website to a new domain?
Sorry for long post, but thanks to anyone who is kind enought to help me
