New Panda Refresh Today!?! My rankings have returned

Great to hear Manny. I'm glad your ranks have returned! :)
 
Your was gone today or fews days ago. Good to hear that they are all return

I went poof on May 10. Here is the thread where me, manny, and others were discussing it. http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...r-optimization-penalty-launched-today-23.html We gave a play by play of what was happening. Look at the dates of my posts in that thread to see how long it took, how I went back in, etc. I really don't have a clear answer regarding why I am doing fine now. I don't know what I did to make this happen or if I did anything at all.
 
I was affected bad when they did wrong keywords under the wrong lisiting. It seems like most are comming back but just slow about it seems like once a week they refreash the updates.
 
Manny, I am soooooo happy for you! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! I'm back in the serps too, as I said in the other thread.

thanks, it feels good...hopefully this sticks for some time...
 
Finally a post with some sense about this update.

Many of my sites that weren't hit in the first update have been slapped in this new one. I agree that Penguin is a lot bigger than Panda and it is a negative / punitive update.

I will know the impact on my earnings tomorrow but it's not going to be good. Some of my sites have lost 80% of their traffic.

A newer site that I did SEO for with a slightly adjusted strategy went from page 3 to #2. It's promising but it's only one site, so it's not enough data for a conclusion to be made. Like everyone I do not understand the sense of this update and anyone who says they do is bullshitting.

Yeah, I definitely don't make the claim to know exactly what to do to defeat penguin.

Did you do anything different with the one site that increased in rankings?

I kind of feel this way too, meaning I really don't know if what I did, did anything to get me back in the SERPs. I really want to say the things I tried worked, but I really don't know for sure...

And truthfully, going forward, I don't know what to do in regards to off-site seo...I will continue to add new content and interlink all my pages, but besides that, I don't know if I want to do anything as I am afraid I won't meet the cut next month when google does the penguin refresh...what if i did no off-site seo and then next refresh i get crushed again? Now, that would be a trip!

The only things I would consider doing and will mostly do is increase my social signals on my blog posts (not money pages)...mostly retweets...

I was kind of waiting for someone to come out and say they have an authority site and really strong interlinking between these pages and they still got crushed by penguin...If you are out there, please let us know...

This is my best guess as to why I might of recovered, but its just a theory
 
I just check all of my keywords ranking are gone. My website is 2 years old and it was fine when Google did it panda and penguin update. I also checked my webmaster account no message and all of my website pages are still in search engine..

Did this happen to anybody..
what can i do..?

I wish I had a five step action plan for you, but unfortunately I don't...

If you haven't de-optimized your anchor text yet, this is probably a good place to start...

If you have an authority site and you have not done any interlinking between the pages, this could possibly help...

I know the feeling as I was crushed by Panda 3.3 and Penguin...google punched me in the face and then kicked me in the balls...wtf...

This is definitely me too. I don't have the slightest idea what to do regarding seo. I'm afraid to do any right now for fear that it will ruin the comeback that I seem to be on.
 
I jumped up and cheered when I read your post. It made my day.

Yeah, I wish everyone the best on this forum as its us against google and google has the keys to the kingdom unfortunately...

I really wish there were four or five competitive search engines so when things like this occur, it wouldn't be so much of a shock...
 
I just checked my rankings again as I was afraid to check them as I was worried that all my rankings would be lost again and luckily they are pretty much the same...
 
@manny521,

I believe that you mentioned that you were hit with the Unnatural links penalty somewhere few months ago? Could it be that the penalty have been removed and you have been recovered from the penalty? Is it 3 months since you received the Unnatural links penalty message in the webmaster tools? Is there any message dispplayed at your webmaster tools?

I am also reaching my 3rd month of the Unnatural links penalty and was wondering..
 
I am just trying to more diversify anchor text links. Already lowered On-site SEO. Need to get rid from the bad backlinks. All this should help to archive pre-penguin rankings
 
That's great, i wasn't hit by newest G updates, but some of my friends, are still on the same positions. I will track also to see what will happen with them in coming days.
 
Most of my rankings disappeared yesterday then appeared again this morning.
 
I'm happy for you guys who regained your positions, unfortunately my main site got hit again. It is very competitive adult term (name of one solo girl) I was on 1-2 position before penguin, after penguin I was 2-3 page, yesterday page 13 and now its nowhere to find. My sub pages and web 2.0 are above me. Its really strange, because I never used many black hat stuff on this domain and zero since penguin. I'm gonna try that interlinking stuff. I would also like to ask you what kind of links should I use for better anchor variation, is there any kind of backlinks that seems to be penguin proof?
