I have a couple of bits and bobs to do unexpectedly so I'll be online a bit later than I normally am guys. Greg is floating about but if you're waiting for anything from me, then I'll be a little bit longer than normal guys


Thanks for understanding

Hi Greg, Made order request yesterday. Look forward to hearing from you, and hopefully working with you Monthly.

Kindest, Tobias

A little note

I would like to thank Greg for covering for me over the last week or so. I'm not going to babble with loads of gobbledygook but to put it blunt; I had a bit of a health scare!

Some of you may know, I had a tumour not so long ago and recently I was told that the tumour looks like it was doing a comeback, as you may have guessed. This scared the shit out of me (and my family)

However, I've been dancing between doctors and scans over the last week or two, this have left Greg in the ‘shit' a little bit. This has had no impact on the business, about 90-95% of clients are still shooting up in Google, emails still answered, and Skype still running but Greg has been doing 90% of the work, alongside our little helpers (partners etc. lol)

So I would like to apologies to anyone if they've felt like they've had to wait for a reply from me, or I've said I'll do something but it may have slipped my mind. Actually, the only person I have forgotten about is Greg stuff, clients are fine J
Greg has and is doing an awesome job, but I have dropped him in the shit a little bit!

However, on a lighter note!

I've sort of been given the all clear from the tumour! Last time I had it, I was pretty much decapitated and I was in a pretty bad way, but this time they can do a keyhole thing and ‘nip it in the bud' and I'll be having that procedure this Friday, hopefully in and out of hospital the same day!

Long live the NHS

I hope that doesn't some across as a ‘oh I got health issues' because I haven't, it just means that therankingguys is running full steam ahead, like it has done for the last 18 months or so, but me (Dan) has been delayed in getting to emails but I wanted you to know why

Basically, we've always been to the point and cut the bull shit and that's why I've posted this, just in case anyone has noticed me not being about as much as I was a week or two ago! Now you know why

I'll be back; actually, I haven't been anywhere! I've just been working strange hours, mainly in the early hours of my day (uk time)

It looks like I got hit by the latest penguin update while using your service. I can't pinpoint if it was you or not, but I havent done in other linkbuilding since I started with you guys ~4-5 months ago. Please contact me. Also, I have never received any type of email updates ever, after multiple attempts to contact you as well.

My site got SMOKED by the latest Penguin 2.1 update while using these guys.

My site is a legit business where we blog almost everyday, highly active on social media, and we get a lot of organic social shares to our blog posts.

At this point I simply would not recommend The "Ranking" Guys

 

[Stevie_G]

Guys I can see some clients got hit with Penguin how did your clients do overall and any screenshots?

Also any idea why some of your clients got hit?

Finally I've asked before for an idea of links that you are building and you wouldn't share can you tell me if the tier 1 links use spun content?

We don't really share our strategies as that's what our business is based on.

The update is still rolling out and a few clients are dancing, which is not unusual for an update to do. However, each scenario is different as some of these sites have had previous SEO done, and we can't say anything until we know the domain name.

@MNentre: Can you please send me your domain name?

Ok so lets have another update after the recent Google update 'Hummingbird'

Lets remember that Hummingbird is NOT an update by Google. Hummingbird is a brand new Google search engine. A brand new algorithm that just happens to use some bits and pieces from Google Panda and Penguin blah blah

Some notes;

Have we had clients have a 'dance' in the latest Google release? - Yep, sure we did and we have done on every update and to date clients have normally done pretty much done well out of it!!

Do we rank every single site that we've worked on? Nope, We have about a 90-95% success rate and continued to have that rate over the last 18 months

Do we get our friends and family to post 'glowing reviews'? - Nope, We don't bury the odd negative comment and all of our screen shots are from live client websites

How come your service doesn't work on all sites? How long is a piece of string? We've had clients that really should have had a penalty before coming to us. We worked the site and we've been pretty honest that they could have issues in the future due to historic links etc - This is normally those who've done 'link blasts' with tools - (please note, if you do spam your links, make sure that you can 100% remove them afterwards)

Other reasons we've had over the last week or two! Two clients have added the code below to their robots.txt

disallow /

As most of you will know. That line of text will tell Google not to index your website. This will normally cause you issues with rankings and now that Google is getting quicker and quicker - Go figure what will happen! who's fault is that?

Other scenarios are

• Buying links without telling us! This is something we get on a near monthly basic from the odd new client
• Old links that cannot be removed - We can hold our own with pretty much any website but if you can't help us get rid of your old real shady links. Only so much we can do and we will tell you that beforehand. Most of the time it's not a massive issue
• Client changing the site without telling us - They changed all of the URLS without doing any 301 redirects and the rankings tanked for a couple of weeks - Again, if we had known BEFORE (or actually knew about it rather that spotting it) then the site would not have had any issues
• Neg SEO - Argh. We've had this a couple of times and to date, thing's have been doing OK
• Client doesn't do anything that we suggest to change anything onsite - Google has really upped it's game - Have you?

I finally found that email, Avidan. Once you get on board, you'll also have skype access so communication won't be an issue for sure!
