Any real SEO pros out there know how to get rid of a -950 google penalty?
 

Please hit me up. Some success in removing this very particular penalty in the past is a must.

what did u do to get that penalty

if i knew i would change it and ask to be reconsidered. All I know is what I did to the site prior to that time and some hunches I have as to why. Nothing wrong... no black hat or anything. I have a suspicion another site copied my tags and titles with a very similar name. I have requested reconsideration 2 times already and am about to do it a 3rd time but want to get some advice from some pros with this penalty prior.

sucks man..better to move on..

wait 2 weeks, it might comeback

If it was loaded with affiliate links than you're probably just screwed like I have been in the past. Good luck.

loaded it was... did you try no follow after?

It's been since june 16th of this year...

so you are on page 95? oh man dont tell me ... anyway nobody can help you with informations you gave us, it may be backlinks, it may be some hard pushing the site in the beginning, it can be duplicated material who knows ... have luck :)

hit up katharos. very reasonable prices.

No I had these problems back before that was really an issue.

Manual reviews can fuck you.

I agree with BCyber on this, getting google to manually reconsider a banned site that is a typical adult affiliate blog you might as well just let the domain expire, even if it gets unbanned it seems likely that it will never pull more than a tiny trickle of google traffic after that, you'd probably outperform it in the serps in a month with a brand new 99 cent .info domain with no backlinks :2 cents:

I'm pretty sure I had the same problem until I redesigned my page, put more relevant text on the site und removed some hardlinks links to low quality sites, then google showed me some love and placed me on 'normal' positions...

buy a new domain. move the site to the new domain, change title/metas, 301 redirect the old site to the new one (htaccess redirect for the whole site). Build a few links and give it some time, it'll outperform the old one.

make sure the new domain hasn't been regged before.

Right on... thanks for that and the other posts in here.

this is the perfect plan.

google is not just a necessary evil. It was said in this thread that even if you do get it lifted it likely will not rank where it did originally due to a manual review. I can't wait another year to find this out.

I have a plan of attack and am going with it...

Have you actually contacted a Google rep mcnig?

I have had it happen it happen before with one of my adult sites, and contacted them when it happened. They told me what I needed to fix, and a basic guide/idea on how. I have also had to contact them on site that was penalized and removed from index entirely years ago. Board lore told me I was fucked and to throw the site away it would never come back. Since I do not listen to board lore on such matters, I contacted them, faxed them a doc, and was back included.

The site is actually 1P SERPS today, and has been consistently there, since re-index.

The point is, Google does not always frown on adult like board lore claims they do. Nor will they simply tell you to fuck off. You need to follow the process. I suppose you can try and "game the system" but it would behoove you to simply contact them and ask.

:2 cents:

how mcfoots? I have used there worthless forum... asked to be reindexed twice. How can I contact someone there?

site reconsideration is what is in the tools... keep in mind I asked 2 times for reconsideration and my site has been goog fucked for 6 months now

You've only tried two times in 6 months? Wow. You are a patient man.

Ok, so are you actually 950 penalty, or are you completely removed from the index? Those are two different issues. One requires you to fax them a doc, and the other requires you to identify shit in your site you are being penalized for, and fix it, before you will be removed from 950/sandbox.

I am not patient any more. It is 950 penalty... the site name comes up but not my keywords which are placed at 950. Actually, I think the site may get completely removed as I blew my lid and told the entire goog forum to eat shit.

:Oh crap

good for you, Fuck Google, they need to hear that more often lest those idiot engineers they have running the place actually think they are doing a halfassed good job... Fuck em... Fuck em HARD :2 cents::mad::thumbsup

Here are few important points you have to remember about Google Penalty.

* Manual penalties are usually related to off-site over-optimization, i.e. forceful link building campaigns
* Algorithmic filtering usually takes place with on-site over-optimization.
* A manual penalty might only be removed in slow steps.
* An algorithmic penalty is often removed automatically; it can also be removed with no apparent reason

Remember this too. If your competitor complaints you on your bad things, you will undergo manual review.

How to avoid Google penalty?

1. Make sure that your website is not linked to any spam websites, gambling & adult websites, banned websites and unrelated websites.

2. You check your server IP whether it has been blacklisted or not. If it is and cannot remove, change your server.

3. Don?t over stuff your keywords in content and Meta tags. Use only wherever it needs.

4. Don?t give excessive interlinks to the pages present in the same website. Extensive interlinking of all your websites, particularly if they are on the same C Class IP address will affect all your websites.

5. Avoid hidden text or links

6. You should not participate in any link farm. If you are interested in generating revenue through advertisement just go ahead by implementing no follow attribute for that link.

7. Excessive reciprocal link exchange will put you in trouble. It should be done only if they are relevant and useful.

8. Get one way links for your website slowly. Use different keywords for anchor text, don?t use the same for all back links

If you are sure that you haven?t done any violation of Google guidelines, request Google for reconsideration of your site ? Check this link for more details.
