Dug myself a huge dupe content hole, how much do I have to undo?
- SEO |
Then the mistakes started. I put a Wordpress blog on my site and used IFTTT to post the pinned articles to 4 related Wordpress post categories. I also used IFTTT to post to a Tumblr blog, the company Facebook page, company Twitter account, LinkedIn,
Then it got worse. I stopped posting directly to everything other than Wordpress and got a Wordpress plug-in to post to the above sites and then signed up for a half dozen Facebook groups themed around the 4 Pinterest boards and then auto-posted from the Wordpress blog to all those sites. The new articles were good, and got lots of likes-re-tweets etc.
Then the ax fell over last weekend and the site went from #14 for the dominant key phrase to 24 on the third page. Never in our 15 year history have we would up on page three.
So here is the question: How deep do I have to go to undo all my mistakes. I am in the process of deleting the 2500 posts in Wordpress, do I have ot delete the tweets and Facebook posts etc.?
Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.
What's your excuse?
