Xfactor sites deindex

Yep, that blog post is fairly well known now.

Anywhoo, the 'xFactor method' simply revolves around making good sites with good content.

If someone makes 100s of websites all with the exact same look, and a small amount of content, naturally this will look suspicious to Google.

You've got to ask yourself - when building a website (especially with AdSense on it) - "Does this offer good value to visitors?" If not, then chances are the AdSense team aren't going to think it offers good value to their advertisers either. And if they think this (sometimes even for 1 of your sites), you can say goodbye to your AdSense account unfortunately.

To answer your questions:

>> Can i have 200 sites on one adsense account?

Yep. As long as they are good sites, have different designs (making 200 replicas won't go down well) and offer good value to their visitors, then sure. Although if they are spammy, 1 page websites with poor content, you'll lose your account quickly.

I'd personally prefer to have (say) 3 big sites compared to 200 smaller sites (especially since I think that managing 200 sites would be a nightmare), although it depends on the person. There's no reason why you can't do very well (with no bans/de-indexes) with 200 sites.

>> Can i have 200 sites on one google analytics account?

Yep, there's no hard limit as far as I know. But be sure that none of the sites are spammy.

>> Can i have 200 sites on one hosting account?

Impossible to answer. Depends on traffic your sites get, CPU/bandwidth/space usage, 'type' of host (extreme overseller, quality host, etc), type of hosting (shared, VPS, cloud, dedicated etc).

If it's a standard shared host, probably not.

I think you will be save with 50 sites per adsense account, hosting account, google webmaster/analytics account and IP address! Make sure that per adsense account you will earn not more than 70-80$/day, otherwise you will get a manual review.

Firstly, check this thread out - http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...e-indexed.html

99% of time people say they are de-indexed, they are not really de-indexed. They are usually trying to check by searching for the domain in google or something which doesn't indicate in a site is de-indexed.

Given your history, I somehow suspect that you won't be able to clean up all the sites in time to pass a manual review. Therefore, I would suggest that you do not put Adsense on all your sites, especially those earning good affiliate commissions.

I recommend against using Google analytics, you are simply giving them an easy way of identifying all your sites.

I strongly recommend that you split your hosting, especially among different Class C clusters. Once a site is reviewed manually and de-index, the Google staff may go on to review all the sites sites on that ip, that is unless there are thousands of sites on it.

Other steps you can take include protecting / scrambling your WHOIS info.

Thanks for thoughts.

Ok i admit, that one page sites are not good.

BUT, I have one good medical sites, more then 50 unique pages, earning very good. But that site design, i use on few of my sites. Now that site and other sites(there i use same design) all are deindex.

what you guys say about it? Using same design is plenty from google? I am sure people using and downloading same wordpress themes again and again, even matt cutts blog design is not unique.

I hope to get some good answer on it.

One more question, since my sites deindex, i do some changes on site, and submit
reconsideration request

How long it will take ? any one have experience with it OR got reindex site?

Totally agree. why hide us from google, why use different analytics , adsense accounts. We should not do it.

We have to ask our self, is this site is good for visitors, is this site can pass manual review, then site is fine. else one single complain can down your site.

Final result is: Do site for visitors, do good contents on site not just one or 2 page site. Put products that people looking for .

Now i am changing my sites . i recommend if anyone not did it, please do it.

This "quaility" score that google strives for is a bit hypocritical.

Last night, i was searching for something, and inorder to watch it i had to fill out CPA lead to watch what i want. almost ALL the sites that have what i want do this which makes it a "bad user experience" There are so many junk sites out there that dont care about "quality content" or "good user experience", They are simply there to make money.
If i compare my site to the general population of crap sites, atleast people can read about what they are searching for, and if they WANT, they can click and add..

I offer a WAY better user experience than any of the other "crap" sites out there.. so on that note, i shouldnt stress.

I'm not putting anyone down for making sites like those you just rattled off, or wp-robot and mage style sites.

The "xfactor" sites are not in the same class as those ones...

The "xfactor" sites that a lot of people rely on are absolute rubbish. 1 page of content about how they like a product and that's it. Not everyone is doing that but a lot are. That is what Google is referring to as a doorway page in their quality guidelines.

The sites in the list do add value to the user and if a wp-mage or wp-robot site does more than just display scraped content I am sure they'll be fine.

Product comparison, alerts, favourites, discounts etc are things online shoppers use and find handy.

These sites are also easy to overtake in the SERPs as they don't do much deep page SEO.

Basically what we are all saying is that our "xfactor" sites may be deindexed by some admin who glances over it and deems it MFA. Sowhat do we do to avoid this?

1.)Obviously follow all webmaster guidelines.
2.)add a few discriminate affiliate links (maybe even a link to a High PR site just to be safe)
3.)Build 5 sites over a week or 2, and then stop and add a new page of content once a month or two to all existing sites, then continue building sites and rinse and repeat. (should be earning by then so you can outsource when it gets hectic.) in a year, you might have a few authority sites and can flip! its all about hard work now, and rewards later....

I know that Xfactor isn't teaching people to make these ordinary sites but people are still believing this is what he meant; there are many threads in this forum about the misunderstanding.

The single page (+About, Contact, Privacy) MFA sites are everywhere and are nothing like the shopping sites listed. They are spam. The 4 slice toaster site is a joke among many but the sad thing is there are heaps of these sites out there; people are building their business off them (just follow the trail of interlinked sites). Most, but not all, are using the xfactor theme...

I find it hard to believe that a theme will deindex a site....There must have been other issues with the site. Possibly duplicate content.

I have had hundreds of turnkey PLR sites de-indexed before. However the de-indexing stopped once I changed the template but re-used the same content. So that the new sites were basically the same sites using another template.

I believe that the de-indexing was done automatically rather than through a manual review. I believe that there is a team at Google who had identified common characteristics of certain turnkey sites in order to identify and de-index them.

Please note that I am talking about turnkey sites here. These are 100% duplicate sites with thousands of copies around. I am not talking about sites with poorly written or re-written PLR content which seems to apply to many X-factor sites.

But there must be a possibility that Google may decide to take action against sites with a particular template where the vast majority of sites are of low quality.

Shortcuts are never are good idea. I dont think John should have promoted the "set and forget" mentality. (build 20 sites and submit articles and youll make cash)

Thats why so many of these have poped up..

All i know is, im concentrating on 5 sites at a time untill they are 100% "legit" and then rinsing and repeating, rather than build 8 sites a month and forgetting about them..

Oh, and i am NEVER using Xfactors theme ever again!

Using Micro niche finder, I see this template all the time!
