Google De-Ranked Me! [Black Listed!]

I was completely de-ranked by Google after being on 1st/2nd page for two weeks. My rankings on Bing and Yahoo didn't tank like Google but aren't as good. I had a site de-ranked before, by accidently sending massive spam-backlinks to it. But this is a little bit different. I was actually able to get up to the 1st/2nd page by using a private blog network, pinnacle elite by Devin and Stephen at money-mindset.net. (I wouldn't recommend now) Then two weeks after me being ranked I was completely de-ranked (black listed) from Google.

All my website traffic dropped

Last time this happened to one of my sites, I fixed it by just making my site really organic. Post original blog post and website content. Took me about a month or two to start ranking again. But this time I can't really do that because it's a affiliate/review site for a specif product.

Any tips on what I should do now?

I don't want to wait a few months for it to recover.

If anybody else purchased pinnacle elite please let me know.
I want to know if it's just me having this problem.

    It's not really "private network" if you even know the names behind it. LOL

    It's hard to say what happened. Is it completely de-indexed?

    I don't make use of any blog networks, private or not. What I recommend you to do will be to start with a new domain, you will probably have to wait too long for your current site to be un-blacklisted. From there on also build a list if you have not already been doing so, with a list you can constantly send them updates on your blog/website

    If Google doesn't see natural links then they would penalize you so you have to think of natural links too.

    If your able to junk the site/domain based on backlinks, the site/content is probably junk (just saying). Legit sites don't bail on their domains anytime Google spanks.

    If your deindexed like you say, try the disavow tool, not like you have anything to lose at this point.

    Have you built backlinks in the last 2 weeks? This could be the cause if they are rubbish/spammy otherwise it might be a case of negative SEO.

    Hard to say without any real site analysis.

    Did you try the Disavow Tool by Google yet? Submit your bad links through it and afterwards make a reconsideration request.
    I had some pretty well earning sites slapped by Google which surprisingly started ranking again after a few weeks after the reconsideration request.

    Sincerely,

    I would try this:

    1. Get a new domain that doesn't seem spammy, something brandable.
    2. Clone the old site to the new site
    3. Do a page for page 301 redirect from old pages to new pages except for the home page
    4. Wait 3-4 weeks and see what happens
    5. If the new site starts to rank, start building quality links to the new home page

    I have done this 3 times so far with good success. The other thing that may have hurt you is if you have scraped content on the site. If you have, get rid of it. I had two new sites that ranked really well for 5-6 weeks then disappeared. Once I deleted the scraped content, they came back. I suspect scraped content is far more of a problem than some links from a private network.

    Hi Isaiah,

    Whenever I see a drop in rankings in any of my projects I check all the things included in this article: Sudden Drop in Google Rankings. What Are the Possible Reasons? | SAPE.RU Network Solutions.

    Have all your pages lost their Google traffic? When did exactly the drop in traffic began and how sudden was it? You may send me more details in PM, I will be glad to share my opinion on your issue, just need the URL.

    You say "de-ranked" but not "de-indexed" right? Otherwise you wouldn't be talking about "waiting to recover" because other than submitting a reconsideration request to Google (waste of time) there is no recovering from deindexation.

    Is this a new site?

    I guess you have only one option left now i.e. starting the website again with new domain and content. And from next time beware of using PBN, they will kill your ranking sooner or later. This should be a nice learning lesson for you.

    Do you mean "de-ranked" as in a loss in SERP rankings or "de-indexed" as in Sandboxed?

    I agree with Yukon...try disavow tool and most of your issue will be fixed. I faced similar issue sometimes back and I dumped the old site and started the new one but now you have disavow.
