Google Algorithm Changes Experience (Feb 25th - April 12th)

[ScrapeBoss]

In terms of backlink building, I do that for real sites with 100% unique content. I use social bookmarking, web 2.0 and article submission.

I'm not really a fan of doing backlinks for autoblogs. I only make use of social bookmarking and web 2.0

Websites who do aggressive backlinking have been noticed to drop in ranking. To the search engines, this is not natural when all the links suddenly come from article directories at the same time.

Hey Scrapeboss,

What's your main linking strategy?Do you use article syndication?

Because I noticed that websites that do a lot of article syndication have huge drop on their rankings.
What's your input on those?

 

[ScrapeBoss]

I have really never had any issue with this plugin for many months that I have been using it. However, I iwll take note of what you have mentioned.

I was using this plugin in one of my blogs without autolinking to incoming search terms. It increased the traffic, but I got penalty from G0ogle. I'm not sure if it is because of this plugin. When we keep on adding the incoming search terms to the end of the post, at one point it sounds like keyword stuffing and if you start linking the each terms to the post URL, I believe that makes the situation worse. What do you think?

 

[ScrapeBoss]

I have always been using the plugin. The real strategy I implemented was to have a new kind of content and approach to make those autoblogs look very natural to Google.

Nice to see someone saying positive words about Algo change

And were you using the SEO searchterm tagging plugin before the algo change or after that?

Yeah I looked at your blog but no worries, lips are closed

Cheers.

STT2 reminds me of bstat plugin. This plugin, I believe, was responsible for PR penalty and then complete de-index of a domain I owned a few years ago. But people keep using bstat and some reported great results with it. Guess they never go after any specific plugin, just some "shady" practices.

Funny is one site I know of with Alexa ranking of 2,106 which used STT2 last time I checked, has removed the plugin. Perhaps because it was getting hit because of Panda updates, although I'm not sure.

google got one of my sites but the funny thing is that yahoo and bing ranked is moving up. I think they are going after the site that does not have good content. They have ways to see if they have been spun or not. great thread

 

[ScrapeBoss]

The problem with most people is that they dont take time to study what goes on their sites. It's a good thing to always monitor your site, carry tests and make changes when you notice something unusual happening. One should notjust leave the site and go to bed.

I noticed the same thing about MFA sites using the wordpress.
And as your friend, I had my adsense account banned for a fictional reason that was sent in an email that I'm sure was automated. Though, the funny thing is that my sites rank the same...

 

[IPXPRT]

Thanks for all this information.. Too bad I just purchased a MFA WP theme and tried it in my new sites... I still hope to see good results..

 

[audioguy]

Can't agree more with what you said ScrapeBoss. It was my fault when that happened, my ignorance but I justified that because I was still a newbie. But now by customizing STT2 options, at least a lot of people don't have problems at all.

@ScrapeBoss what you use to put all those keywords before titles, you don't do that manually?

Since February 24th 2011 i have seen lots of changes to google. Did worked hard to combat with all of these changes. It was not that easy as it used to be. But it worked out at the end.

So Some addition to your collection of wordpress plugin:-
1. SEO Smart Links (interlinking between your pages)
2. SEO Super Comments (Good plugin for on page seo of comments and it can rank your comment page)
3. RSS Optimizer (Gr8 auto rss submitter. Creates a separate feed for every single post and submit them to its inbuilt rss directory automatically)

 

[ScrapeBoss]

can't find the rss optimizer is it a paid plugin?

 

[gundamwing]

This is my experience

the key is if you get earning below 10$/day you are safe ( experince)
thats why you need many ads g account

what ever you play autoblog, mfa etc

 

[ScrapeBoss]

Yes. It would be crazy of anyone to have one adsense account on hundreds of blogs.

yep, I believe it costs $77 but you can download it from

rssoptimizer.s3.amazonaws.com/rss_optimizer.zip

and this is the video:

backlinkadvseo.s3.amazonaws.com/wprssoptimizer.mp4

Warning: I haven't tried/checked it so I don't know if it needs nulled or not. Can someone please do the virustotal and also check it for callbacks?

 

[caponx]

About the rssoptimizer

It looks like it calls back to the creators site do finish the feeds, also the setting page are a bit weird, looks like the settings dont stay.

Anyway

When i use the plugin my site went really slow so i removed it.

Hey scrapeboss, what's your seo searchterm tag settings? I got a site deindex yesterday and I suspect it could be the cause.
