How To Check Your Website For *Algorithmic* Penalty

[Evie Murray]

The best way to check if your website was penalized by an automatic penalty is to login to Google analytics and review your Google organic traffic. If you see a drop in traffic during the dates that Google released an algorithmic change, then most probably you were hit and that's the reason that your traffic dropped.

Yes, that's good. I mention it in OP.

Hi

consider this one keyworddifficultycheck com. It has a spam score of 81. But it also gets into the first result.

Any reason?

Traffic drop can be an indicator, true.

However, being affected by an update doesn't mean you have a penalty.

In most cases, update means engines favor pages based on different rules now and you don't qualify anymore. You don't have a penalty, you are simply being outranked.

It just shows you how unreliable spam scores are.

Spam score or third party tools like Moz has nothing to do with penalties.

You're testing web 2.0 via this method?

How exactly does the query look like?

Hi, would it be possible to have samples and a discount code? Thank you.

When I search in this way, the main page does not appear, but only posts related to keywords registered on my website are searched. Do you know why?

It is a sort of filtration which is not good. I see it often with PBN units.

The homepage does not appear for brand or domain name search it is not a good sign.

It can mean that it lacks relevance and power in the eyes of search engine to rank even for it's own name - not good.

It can also mean it is straight up flagged.

For example, with PBNs the homepage is usually used as the page with all outbound links. By filtering it from the search results, they render the PBN unit obsolete.

What method should I use to solve it?

Glad you like it.

What method should I use to solve it?

Changing content on the homepage can fix it.

How you link from and to it as well. If there is high OBL count, remove it for some time.

If you are using only exact match keywords as anchor texts for internal links, that should be diversified too.

You can build more backlinks to it directly as well.
