Is my site panelized

[Grio]

I had some keywords fall off out of nowhere. The pages are no longer in the search results, but this is only affecting a few pages on my site. I have zero exact-match keywords. I have some low-quality backlinks, but a majority of all active backlinks are from sites with 500+ monthly traffic.

I have been using a serp bot with 4G proxies to search the pages in the serps for long tail keywords. No action on google. GSC still says these pages are indexed. Google search says otherwise.

There's no way to know for sure, unless Google itself responded to your question

 

[tazarbm]

it could be one of google's recent updates. Or it could be that the pages are orphaned (they have no traffic and no backlinks coming into them, so google have decided to get rid of them). Build a few internal links to those pages from pages that already get traffic (and which are relevant to the de-ranked pages, obviously) and see if this fixes the issue.

But I'm curious about something: is the content on the de-ranked pages AI generated and without any manual input? Because I'm hearing more and more cases of AI content getting de-indexed, so this might be an issue, as well.

Something else that I can think of (and which @SeoBacklinkGenie addressed in a recent post) is that the anchor texts of the backlinks that are pointing to the penalized pages are irrelevant to the content of the page. Check out his post for more details:

If none of these helps... well, I don't know what other reason could be, sorry...

If your site has been penalized, they are going to notify you know. This will happen to everyone as usual. So, you can keep posting your content with high-quality backlinks.

A few sections flag as a warning on contentatscale.ai
Things were AI generated than heavily edited.

The pages are linked by other pages. Google search console says the page is still index but no longer show up on
site:myite.com
site:myite.com/url
site:https://myite.com/url

Something is up. There is no duplicate content. I made some adjustments, made the page more mobile-friendly to read, and told google bots to look at it again with rank math API to google. From there, I will take a more aggressive look at it.

You must have to do high backlinks for better ranking

 

[HustleTong]

Double down on internal linking using plugins like link whisper
Most quality links are organically obtained over time

 

[CheapestContent]

Internal linking and quality backlinks can help your website to fix these issues.

so you're good then! (in this regard I mean)

The pages are linked by other pages. Google search console says the page is still index but no longer show up on
site:myite.com
site:myite.com/url
site:https://myite.com/url

but if you copy-paste the exact URL into google (between quotes, preferably) does it come up? Because if it doesn't come up... well, it's not indexed anymore regardless of what GSC says

like I said, I don't know what could be wrong, so my attempts to help you are only attempts when I know so little about your site. But please don't PM your site, I'm not offering SEO consultations. If I can help I will do it though here for everyone to see, otherwise - like in this case - I'll declare defeat instead of putting you on misleading paths

But did you check / fix the anchors as explained in the thread that I've linked you with? Because, apparently, that's what the latest update has done so as soon as you fix the anchors the pages might spring up into the SERPs again

I appreciate your help a lot.
https://koschsmarketing.com/master-maryland-seo/Google crawled it last night. I don't believe my backlink profile is toxic. I put a few links on disavow as they are from irrelevant sites.

what's that, your site??

Disavowing irrelevant links is not a smart idea because if those links are powerful you're cutting the branch beneath your feet because those links could still rank you, but if you disavow them you lose the rankings. You, people, really need to stop disavowing so freely

If the link above is your site then yes, it is indexed, no matter what GSC or site: tells you



Also, try not to make your sites and keywords public, especially on the biggest SEO forum on the planet and especially when it's being monitored by google. You are shooting in your own foot by letting everyone see what your site is. Mean people can hardly wait to know your site so they can hack it, negative SEO it, or to simply steal your niche and keywords... and google employees can hardly wait to deindex new SEOs that try to manipulate their rankings, really bad idea to show your site.

Anyway, I don't know how you managed to rank in the SEO niche (one of the toughest niches that I know of), but I can see that you went with local SEO which might explain it since local SEO is sometimes easier to rank in

One thing that is odd that I cannot see this but you can.

see what?

Putting the URL in quotes results in nothing

With and without https://
I tried 3 browsers and two devices.

well, this is weird.... And I got triggered and checked it with Scrapebox and apparently SB also thinks the link is NOT indexed, which really baffles me if I'm being honest. And I don't know what to say in this case, sorry

 

[Grio]

Np,

I am going to give it some time and see what happens. Google sometimes takes a week to calm its tits over something.

Yeah, they're very nervous

Good luck anyway....

There's no way to know for sure, unless Google itself responded to your question

They give hints like penalties. If there is no movement in penalties, it means that website is on right track.
