Google Panda Destroyed My Business

Did you read all the condition about the google adsense, it allows you to post three ads maximum at one of your web page. if you cross the line you will also banned for adsanse for that domain.

Google does seem to love Wordpress, but even Wordpress won't help much if the content stinks.

In your case, it was a fantastic comeback jump in the SERPS! Unfortunately, not everyone shares your success.

It must be that you have all of the right elements in place to make the Google Gods happy proving that it CAN be done in the post Panda world.

Great Job!

Interesting video but very confused how Google can drag an entire website down based on one bad page. My site has questionable pages, sure. Not every article is 1,000 words. Some pages have one sentence and an image. But how is this different from other websites? Warrior forum has bad pages, my competitors have bad pages, Amazon has many bad pages...

What that guy talks about is interesting, but I don't think Google has all those capabilities.

Really confusing, how do you go through 2,000+ pages to find the 'bad apple' that's dragging the website down? It'd be really cool if Google can put reveal that url/page info in webmaster tools so we can find them and fix them.

I really hope Google fails one day and Bing flourishes!

I'm in same boat. One of my sites doubled in traffic within a month of Panda hitting. If you dropped in traffic, it's on you 99% of the time.

Not at all mate, I am one of the lucky guy who gets the bliss from google. Here is the proof. my site gets back to SERP after the doom days on 6 June. Before sending reconsidering letter make sure that your site follows google guidelines.

Hey Ernie!

How's things going, any sign of an upturn yet? Things are still very poor for me, even with ZERO dupe content, no spam etc etc. Collateral damage that might never get fixed :-(

I'm at a loss to know where to start trying to fix things, or to wait for the next Panda update to see if they fix things.

I think I will end up making sites with no content and just items for sale, seems to be the way to hit page one these days, all commerce NIL info

Good luck, hope your sites recover soon

I couldn't disagree more.

Good SEO involves building a good site. Not just what looks pretty. Onsite SEO is a big part of your ranking that many webmasters simply ignore. I see soo many websites that don't even bother with H1 tags.

Google rewards good businesses with good websites and good marketing.

If you dont have time or money to invest in proper marketing you dont have what it takes to be a good business so why should Google reward you?

Google is getting rid of fly by night websites that are out for quick cash and no value to their users. I fully support them in this.

Most of my clients rankings increased with the Panda update not decreased as did the clients of many proper seo companies that place value on their clients sites not just doing the same thing over and over.

Google is not broken its better!

Would love to be enlightened on my flaws. Maybe I am wrong.

As for my "misconception" of "proper seo" How do you know our methods? I dont place high value on article links or mass distribution of articles. Sure its part of our internal system but not the be all and end all of the system.

SEO is about link diversity and creating a quality website that follows what Google is looking for.

Too many people get stuck in old methods and fail to adapt to what is going on in the way people search.

Im not hear to ruffle feathers but when I see people posting that Google is destroying your business it makes me wonder if their business had a solid plan to begin with. We work hard to keep our clients sites from dropping in rankings year round.

Did some of them get hit by Panda...yes....as I said originally most did not and even increased in most cases.

In cases where we did drop off I was mostly able to find out why and we are working on fixing the issues.

I think too many people get stuck doing the same things over and over when it comes to SEO and it costs them in the end. We have been diversifying more and more to keep our clients stable. With just a little research you can see what Google is doing now and where it is heading in the future.

"The etymology of "business" relates to the state of being busy either as an individual or society as a whole, doing commercially viable and profitable work. The term "business" has at least three usages, depending on the scope — the singular usage to mean a particular organization; the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, "the music business" and compound forms such as agribusiness; and the broadest meaning, which encompasses all activity by the community of suppliers of goods and services. However, the exact definition of business, like much else in the philosophy of business, is a matter of debate and complexity of meanings."

Straight from wiki itself. Your definition might not be that of others therefore although entitled to your opinion, don't make it as a statement as the end all and be all. What I will agree on is that there IS a difference between that of a business being a profitable business and one that isn't. That's the ONLY difference and even then both are still essentially a BUSINESS.

Hardwork reaps money, again, your definition of hardwork may not be that of others, again, your opinion, not fact. What may be peanuts to you could be almonds for others. If you had any idea about what it takes to start and run a business then you would know everyone starts from somewhere. Hard work isn't reserved for just labourers, it's what's needed to achieve anything. From your comment alone I get the impression that if a boulder hit you in your face you wouldn't bother getting back up.

I didn't write my original comment to make you out a fool, but you have no right telling someone he didn't really have a business. Telling me I am wrong on my second statement shows me that you are not only foolish, but arrogant too. Tell me you don't agree, but don't tell me I am wrong, otherwise I will be forced to drop my wallet on you and then we will see what's peanuts and what's not.

P.S You were just raped by bipolar mario ;-)
