Please help me. Two of my sites have been penalized by Google that were ranking well.

Actually I started BMR posts for both sites (10 BMR posts for each site per day) for increasing back links. After around 30 days my sites started loosing traffic along with the ranking. Now they are not ranking anywhere. I got message in Webmaster Tools that my sites have been penalized by Google and are de-indexed.

What should I do to get my sites back in Google ranking ?

I dont understand what to do.

PLEASE HELP

    10 might be overkill each day.
    Did you mix up the anchor text? Did you mix up the categories.
    I use BMR extensively but I have never had any issues like this.
    I only build 2-3 links per webpage per day though.

    My advice would be simply keep building them, but at a slow rate. Also mix it up with some other backlinks from social sites etc.

    If your sites were manually de-indexed, there isn't a ton you can do. Here is what you need to do for any other sites you want to rank:

    *Remove Google webmaster tools/analytics on ALL of your sites. I can't even begin to tell you just how many people I've seen get penalized because they allow Google access to this info. Do not use webmaster tools/analytics ever. On any site. There are better options anyways.

    *Cut the BMR posts down. 10 posts a day can be pretty heavy if you are doing it day in/out. Unless your site already had massive traffic, there is no way at all that this can look normal to Google. 4-7/day per site does the trick for me when my BMR writer is trying to rank a new site. These 4-7 are spread out across inner pages as well, for the respective kws of those pages.

    *Build new sites with your niche/kws
    . So your sites were de-indexed... That's unfortunate, but it does happen. I would suggest starting a new site under a new domain and targeting the same keywords. You can even build the site exactly the same as the ones which you have now. I've seen several people do this with great success.

    Above all else, diversify your income streams, your SEO methods, and don't be completely reliant on Google for your business.

      Don't tell me you weren't warned about this. These bmr posts are take as a deception by the seach engines. Search engines always try to get better search results to their users, so they won't tolerate this kind of things. Too bad you have to lose the ranking altogether. Start a new site and this time, opt for in-site SEO and ways to improve your site from within.

          Ok, what exactly did the google webmaster tools message say? Could you copy and paste it here after removing your identification details please.

          Also, what other link building have you done recently apart from bmr?

            Also, what other link building have you done recently apart from bmr?
            apart from BMR, i was doing almost every type of link building like social bookmarking, forums, blogs, directories, articles, etc.

            here is what webmaster tool says for both the sites:

            Dear site owner or webmaster of mysite com,

            We've detected that some of your site's pages may be using techniques that are outside Google's Webmaster Guidelines.

            Specifically, we detected low-quality pages on your site which do not provide substantially unique content or added value. Examples could include thin affiliate pages, doorway pages, automatically generated content, or copied content. For more information about unique and compelling content, visit Webmaster Tools Help

            We encourage you to make changes to your site so that it meets our quality guidelines. Once you've made these changes, please submit your site for reconsideration in Google's search results.

            If you have any questions about how to resolve this issue, please see our Webmaster Help Forum for support.

            Sincerely,

            Google Search Quality Team


            Both of my sites got the same massage. And even after i removed and changes a few pages that i found little copied in copyscape. After i resubmitted for reconsideration, still they say that the sites are violating google guidelines.

              To me this has nothing to do with BMR at all. It's the poor quality of your website pages?
              What makes you think it is BMR related? Did they give you any other information?

              Would be curious to know.
              Cheers

                See I changed the content of pages that i found copied in Copyscape.
                I resubmit for reconsideration to google. But i got the message:

                We've reviewed your site and we believe that some or all of your pages still violate our quality guidelines.

                I do not understand what exactly should I do. Please guide me.

          Your thread title is very misleading.

          The title claims BMR got you penalized, then you say you built other types of links besides BMR. :rolleyes:

            I agree. The title of the thread should be edited.

    You are aware this has nothing in the slightest to do with BMR?

        They're giving you the answer already.

        Care to share what kind of content you have for what kind of site/visitor? Passing Copyscape doesn't mean the content is useful or of good quality.

      My friend I have not copied the content from web. See one of my sites was really doing well from last 3 years. And i have checked in copyscape just because of the google warning.

      What else should i have to do to get my site back ?

          Doesn't that mean that it's still indexed? Perhaps your website was just given a penalty. If you were using other backlinking methods, I don't understand why you think it is BMR's fault.

            The notice you received is not the one that people receive for links. You got dinged because your site is in Google's eyes low quality and worse looks like you were using copied content if I read you right. Looks too like you are confusing a penalty with deindexing.

        If you are writing original content, you shouldn't have to use copyscape.

        I tried an autoblogging service for one post at a new site the other week. I couldn't even get through the first sentence. It was that bad.

    You need to add quality content to your website. If the website is just 3 pages of 300-500 word articles, Google won't be too happy. Your articles should be 1) unique, 2) 500-1,000 words (the longer the better), 3) aim for 10 pages of content, add relevant images/video, 4) remove your affiliate links if you have any, and 5) submit your reconsideration request.

    Best of luck

    Don't just write long articles, that's still not a sign of quality if its 1000 words of ****. Sit down and think of ideas that other sites in your niche are not doing and start creating! Do something different, provide true and useful content and that should help. It's not that often those messages go out so the site must have been really bad.

    Interesting. In the past i have experienced great results with BMR, and as you can see other members have nothing but praise for the service as well. But recently I started 5 niche sites, all with unique content, different themes, and private registration. I set BMR post to 1-3 a day. These sites gained in SERPS for about 2 weeks and then they were ALL de-indexed.

    I also just saw in a thread here where someone was using SEO spyglass to check their BMR backlinks and it shows the message "Restricted from indexing" next to his BMR posts. I think it was in the BMR sticky thread up top.

    Any comments? I think I may have caught on to how google is finding these BMR posts, but of course id rather do more research than open my mouth.

      I don't think it's just BMR. Several of my sites are down with the dreaded:

      "Google Webmaster Tools notice of unnatural links detected"

      To diversify risk i never used exactly the same Private Blog network yet most of my sites lost all of their rankings at the weekend following Google's latest crack down on unnatural backlink profiles. One of my sites is 11 years old and had mainly natural links but it was hit too.

      2 of my smaller sites survived and they did not use BMR but this could be coincidence.

      I believe my on page SEO was good for all sites. Unique regular content, no dodgy on page SEO tactics, balanced links to home and inner pages, diverse anchor texts varied IP's etc etc.

      All 5 of your new sites were deindexed? What other types of backlinks did you use? 1 -3 BMR posts a day doesn't sound excessive at all. It seems like a very harsh punishment.

    Lol OP is an idiot (no offense). The message he received from Webmaster Tools clearly stated that his site was penalized due to low quality/thin content. That doesn't have ANYTHING to do with BMR or even backlinks. Why is it that BMR gets all the blame whenever a site is penalized when the real culprits are the site owners who are complete idiots??
