    I read a tips here before so I want to share it to you.

    • Revise your Title to other keywords which still related to your website
    • Do not optimise your exact match keyword
    • Do some variations with other keywords
    • Continue link building and Make sure all of the links you are building are quality.
    • If your blogs don't have social network accounts then make and used it in your blog.
    • Update your blog regularly and wait for 2 or more weeks if it's back.

    Regards,

    Ronnie

    You have to keep doing the same seo methods except now you have to do it better. Build quality backlinks, promote your site through social media and drive enough traffic to your site.

    Hey, I was in your case 2 weeks ago but now everything is fine.

    My site is an autoblog, i just focus on 2 keywords, i chose the exact domain following the keyword and my site get banned

    I stopped all the seo, not seo at all within 1 month
    Just boost the content posting and use auto social bookmark wp plugin <= this is the only link building approach . Everyday, that site post about 50 articles
    Now, In a month, the keyword comes back at ranking #1

    Google EMD update only harm you if you have poor quality website.
    By poor quality I mean to say if your website has lack of information for the visitors, if your site is not optimized from onsite perspective- for example if the site has navigational issues, improper position of anchor text, keywords stuffed, lack of heading tag or overwhelmed with heading tags, optimum utilization of header and footer, meta tags and there are many more.

    Apart from the onsite optimization you have to take care of the link back to your site. In SEO quality will always be in priority rather than quantity. So keep focus on building quality and relevant back links to your site.

    If you are able to take care of the above things then EMD doesn't harm you.

    I'd like to give you an example to clear your views, suppose you might have done lots of off page and on page work to get a better ranking in Google Search result, but if you see a website that doesn't have any quality back links nor having strong on page optimized page, but still ranking better than you just because it has exact matching domains.

    How do you feel that point of time?

    That's the purpose why Google is eliminating the low graded exact match domain for showing up the quality website in Google search result.

    I've always found that it is REALLY hard to recover a site that has been affected by a Google update.

    Were you getting a decent amount of traffic? Sales? etc? I some cases it's better to just start fresh with a new domain.

    According to me if your website badly affected by the google EMD update then you can consider to buy a new domain (branded one) and redirect your old domain to new one. You can get your ranking back in a couple of weeks but if you don’t want to purchase a new domain then you need to update the content of your website, so that you can serve high quality content to search engines.

    Deoptimize your site.

    EMD has basically trained panda and penguin to look at your domain name.

    I would rather give you one simple advice. Keep adding quality content and quality back links. That's it.

    Wait for couple of months and then check the traffic. Things will certainly change.

    The only way to come out of EMD is quality work for website. Do quality optimization for the
    website as per guidelines of search engines and do not even try to make back links with exact
    matching keywords anchor text.
