Lost My Ranking After Building Links

[Zshan]

I bought an expired domain with clean history around 12 yrs old with authority links from wikipedia etc.in last week of September published content on next day.

It was http so converted it to https but if i search my site like site:mydomain.com it shows both http and https for around 1.5 months. with a message

" In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 5 already displayed." at the bottom of the page.

started building links in October mid using Sarkar, Peter's services. Only used branded.naked url and general kws. Targeted 2 posts. Got amazed at first getting near to 2nd page but on November 25 lost all rankings even for non link building posts.

Not getting clear here as It's because of the message i was getting at bottom of the page in Google or building too much links in a short time?

Please guys help me on this

in your htaccess see if this was entered.

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R,L]

Added both version of http and https to Google recently and the message at the bottom is not showing now

[Zshan]

NOT PENALIZED by Google. on ismywebsitepenalized.com

So no penalty msg in Google webmaster console ? Does console show those links you have built ?

There was a Google update around that time. Maybe that's to blame. But either way, just give it some time and the dust should settle. If it doesn't you can always go back to the Google WMT and disavow the links.

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R,L]

Out of curiosity, why does an entry with that rules in htaccess is bad?
Is it a bad way of redirection?

No. there is no message and yes i can see the links in WBT

My keywords were yet to rank on first page and i don't think it was hit bcoz of an update

A lot of people lost rankings in November, was your niche Health related?

 

[nakamura]

No one can give you the exact answer why your rankings dropped. There are too many circumstances. The link-building could be one reason. Google updates could be another reason.

I was hit previously, removed the diversity links + shit ton of profile links

changed up the homepage content, google brought me back


user intent, anchor text or too many profile links to 1 page was my issue

how did you removed the links

 

[kn1ves]

You can use the disavow tool.

Since its an aged domain, there is nothing wrong in building links. One of my friend told me sarkar service is nothing but all done with software like rankerx etc. They are not good for any site except tier 2
